Performance
With its 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, the Cadillac XT5 is far from a gas guzzler. Its fuel economy numbers are an EPA-estimated 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway, which is above average for the class.
However, if you want a boost of output from 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque to 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, go with the Sport, which is also the only trim with standard all-wheel drive for optimizing performance on any type of driving surface.
Delivering a smooth ride and composed handling is one of the Cadillac XT5's more treasured attributes. The suspension is more than capable of absorbing road imperfections to make the XT5 a remarkable cruiser. And electronic power-assisted steering ensures that turning and cornering is nice and crisp.
If you want a tighter, sportier feel, spring for the top-level Sport, which has a performance-tuned suspension and comes with an on-demand selector that will allow you to customize the ride and feel according to the type of driving surface-be it unpaved or covered with snow or ice.

With its two rows of seats, the Cadillac XT5 provides a plush driving experience. Leatherette seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and power-adjustable front seats with heating ability and power lumbar support are standard. Infotainment is provided by a CUE integration system that comes with such features as:
Dual-zone automatic climate control, a dual-color driver information center, and proximity key entry with remote start are other base-level comfort and convenience features.
