2010 Cadillac SRX Review Summary & Specs
HSE Sport Utility
All-new crossover has new roots.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The all-new 2010 Cadillac SRX is the latest arrival in a huge, crowded market of crossover SUVs. It's priced $3500 less than the segment-leading Lexus RX 350, with about the same power, performance and fuel economy. It's a tidier design with less room inside, and its chassis is a marvel of competence and composure and a paragon when you're counting up safety features. Now that GM officially has a future as a viable car company, we think the SRX is worth a long look from those who are looking to downsize and economize.
