Predecessor	Cadillac SRX

The Cadillac XT5 (short for Crossover Touring 5) is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured by Cadillac. It was introduced at both the Dubai Motor Show and LA Auto Show in November 2015. The XT5 replaced the Cadillac SRX crossover when it was launched in spring 2016. It is the second model to use Cadillac's new alphanumeric naming scheme (after the CT6) and the first in the Crossover Touring (XT) series. The XT5 is manufactured at GM's Spring Hill Manufacturing plant. The Chinese-market XT5 is manufactured in Shanghai by SAIC-GM.

The XT5 features innovative technology such as a streaming video rear-view mirror, and the first application in a Cadillac of GM’s Electronic Precision Shift, which replaces the standard hydraulic shifter with an electronic controller. This, together with a new lightweight chassis, results in a weight savings of 278 lb (126 kg) versus the outgoing SRX.

The XT5 is initially available with only one engine, depending on the market. In the United States, it has a 3.6-liter V6 used in other recent Cadillac models, producing 310 hp (231 kW) and 271 lb·ft (367 N·m) torque.^[2] The V6 includes automatic stop-start and cylinder deactivation to improve fuel economy. In China, the XT5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine producing an estimated 258 hp (192 kW) and 295 lb·ft (400 N·m) torque. The XT5 is available in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.

The 2017 XT5 is offered in four trim levels. Above the base XT5 are Luxury, Premium and range topping Platinum. The base price of the entry 2017 XT5 at launch was $38,995 in the United States.
