2010 Cadillac SRX review

[CadillacDxb]

The SRX is Cadillac’s mid-size crossover SUV and entered its second generation in the 2010 model year.

The SRX now bears the new Cadillac family look, accentuated by its arrowshot design, vertically stacked headlights and the trapezoidal chrome grille.

The 2010 SRX’s aggressive and dynamic appearance sets it apart from rivals such as the Chevrolet Equinox, Lexus RX, Infiniti FX and Audi Q5.

In the Middle East the 2010 SRX is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 engine producing 285bhp and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. Some drivers may miss the availability of paddle shifters behind the steering.

The new SRX is built on a new stiffer chassis, which lends it with a responsive yet comfortable ride. Available in two trim versions, Base and Luxury, the five-seater SRX packs in a top-flight interior dotted with lots of equipment. The standard kit list includes a Bose eight-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, power windows, remote locking, heated power front seats and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The Luxury trim adds on a lot more equipment including adaptive xenon headlights with washer, front and rear parking assist, high end Bose sound system with integrated navigation, ambient lighting, cruise control, rear-view camera, smart key with remote start, power liftgate, sunroof and ventilated front seats.

The Luxury trim also comes with larger 20-inch wheels and a sports suspension for a more spirited drive. The safety kit is identical on either trim versions and includes dual front airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags along with ABS and Electronic Stability Control.
