Cadillac SRX redesigned for the 2010 model year onward.

Cadillac SRX 2010

The Cadillac SRX is the as same as CTS and its may also the redesigned of CTS of the company because of CTS’s popularity. The SRX entry in the competitive mid-size luxury SUV market that includes competitors such as the Lexus RX350, BMW X5 and Mercedes ML-Class. First introduced in 2004, the SRX was completely redesigned for the 2010 model year onward.

Introducing of Cadillac SRX


Upon introduction, the Base is equipped with a standard 3.0-liter, V6, 265-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. The AWD Turbo Premium Collection is equipped with a standard 2.8-liter, V6, 300-horsepower engine. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.

The 2010 SRX is a 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 9 trims, ranging from the Base to the AWD Turbo Premium Collection. For family weekend the SRX is the best.



"The 2010 SRX will deliver excellent, balanced driving dynamics in all types of weather," said Bob Reuter, global vehicle chief engineer. "The all-wheel-drive system with electronic limited slip effectively transfers torque not only from front to rear, but also along the rear axle. This system sets a new benchmark for all all-wheel-drive systems, giving the driver control and confidence on any road surface."

Car for the new generation


The CTS sedan has been a great success for Cadillac, garnering much praise from the automotive media. So it's no wonder that the 2010 Cadillac SRX leans heavily on the same cabin tech and bold design features that made the CTS so popular. In many ways, the new SRX looks like the CTS on stilts.

Like CTS Cadillac SRX has the same LCD that partially stows itself in the dash, leaving a strip visible to show audio information. There was the hard-drive-based navigation system with traffic. The car even comes with the record button that saves radio broadcasts, essentially it works like TiVo for radio.

In Cadillac SRX, Cadillac added a round, color information display to the speedometer that shows a variety of information--such as the trip computer, navigation directions, and even the speed limit of the current road. When starting the SRX, an animation of the Cadillac logo rolls into place, adding a little special effects glory for this high-tech cruiser.

The 2010 SRX, fitting the small SUV with a 3-liter V-6 engine, which should be the perfect size for this vehicle.

Cadillac SRX contain 265 horsepower Which will be enough to get to work, make grocery runs, and take the occasional weekend trip.

Power-mad speed demons will be disappointed with the cars meager reaction when they hit the gas pedal.

The SRX engine's 223 pound-feet of torque does not deliver the kind of thrust to put you firmly in your seat.

The company has an optional turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 engine for the 2010 SRX. While the turbocharged engine doesn't have direct injection, its turbo helps it make 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.

Car Tech, The new SRX offers solid technology, but if only it had more motive power.


Cadillac SRX also has a six-speed-automatic transmission, the same as the one used in the CTS. When racing toward a corner and then hitting the brakes, the transmission will aggressively downshift and hold a low gear as you hit the gas on the way out to the next straightaway. The transmission exhibits similar behavior in the SRX, only the 3-liter engine can't really realize the transmissions potential. It's like putting an F-22 pilot into a 747; he might have incredible reflexes, but they will be largely wasted.

The SRX gets an EPA-rated fuel economy of 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, fairly typical numbers for a small SUV. In our driving, we only achieved 19.4 mpg.

Advanced technology and entertainment systems

The 2010 SRX features numerous advanced electronic systems. Highlights include a "pop-up" navigation screen with three-dimensional imaging; adaptive forward lighting that swivels the headlamps in synch with vehicle steering; power liftgate with adjustable height setting; integrated hard disc drive for audio storage and a dual-screen system for rear entertainment.

Bluetooth compatibility is standard, as is On Star’s turn-by-turn navigation service for buyers who do not select the car's navigation system option.
