Great news for Dubai’ans! 2018 Cadillac XT5 debuts in Dubai with yet another gem! It debuted about two years ago as a substitute for the SRX and is Cadillac’s first ever grand crossover! The mid- sized SUV shares a ditto wheelbase with the GMC academia platform. Comfort, luxury and value – it’s all packed into one! Before we jump into what makes this Cadillac “buyable”, you can visit CarSwitch.com to check out its specs, features, UAE car prices and other complete specifications.
Let’s start with the engine, shall we? Its 3.6L V6 engine with a 310 hp is admittedly reasonable in its power delivery, but it has an impressive fuel economy rate when its not racing at full speed with around 12.3 litres per 100 kilometers. Another great feature that saves fuel is when the engine automatically stops while you are stuck in the traffic or waiting at the lights.
When it comes to overall size, it’s a 5 seater with a hatchback profile and 20 inch wheels. The size is convenient enough for easy parking and cruising in the posh parts of the town.
The word “luxury” comes to play as you experience the interiors, with stitched leather and padded seats with real metal and wood surfaces. That’s not all, the seats come with ventilated and heated cores. The star, however, is most certainly the panoramic sunroof which covers the whole length of the car and can be operated by control atop the rear-view mirror.
The space in this car is pretty good too with impressive front and back rear legroom. The back seats can also be folded flat. The boot is also spacious and comes with a cargo divider and a compartment casing.
All the “luxury features” such as the control panels at the back, touch screen for the music system and the GPS, heads-up display, LED lightning, keyless start and entry are all there!
When it comes to the feel of the ride, it’s quite smooth, supple and quiet. With meaty break pedals, well-weighted steering wheels and a satisfactory stopping power, 2018 Cadillac XT5 standard is supremely comfortable and entertaining to drive! Safe to say that when it comes to power, performance or design, XT5 is definitely not drool-inducing but it’s definitely going to appreciated for its comfort-enhancing and cosy features. Those of you who prefer a more high-performance powertrain, check out Cadillac CT-6 V-sport! That one’s a turbo beast!
