Known for its bold, sculpted exterior and premium finishes, the XT5 embodies Cadillac’s signature design language with a sleek front grille, sharp lines, and a commanding stance. For 2025, Cadillac refines the XT5's style with new LED lighting elements and a fresh range of exterior color options, further elevating its road presence. Under the hood, the XT5 offers two engine options. The base trim comes equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine delivers 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the XT5 comes with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, providing versatility in various driving conditions.

Inside, the 2025 XT5 offers a refined, spacious cabin designed with comfort and luxury in mind. The interior boasts a premium aesthetic, with high-quality materials such as leather upholstery, real wood accents, and aluminum trim. The front seats are both heated and ventilated, offering optimal comfort in all weather conditions, while the rear seats offer generous legroom and can be folded flat to expand cargo space, which is already quite roomy at 30 cubic feet. The 2025 model introduces an updated infotainment system, highlighted by a 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa integration, allowing for seamless connectivity. The system is controlled via a combination of the touchscreen, rotary dial, and available voice recognition, making it intuitive for drivers to access navigation, entertainment, and climate control functions. An available 14-speaker Bose premium audio system offers an exceptional listening experience for audiophiles.
