Few brands better exemplify the concept of luxury than Cadillac, as the brand has represented excellence for more than a century. The 2025 Cadillac XT5 continues that tradition by offering numerous strong points that continue to excite and exhilarate drivers seeking a rare blend of luxury and performance.
It’s Elegant
Embracing Cadillac’s signature exterior design elements, the elegant styling of the XT5 stands out from other mid-size SUVs. Its aggressive lines, signature vertical LED front and rear lights, elevated grille design, sporty rear spoiler, 18-inch multi-spoke wheels, and active aero shutters give the XT5 a distinctive appearance that separates it from the competition.
It’s Versatile
Versatility is a key trait of the XT5, as it offers the elevated luxury of the Cadillac brand alongside a flexible interior space. The XT5 has 104.5 cubic feet of passenger volume that can carry up to five adults, but that space can easily be converted for cargo use when the need arises. The 30 cubic feet of dedicated cargo space behind the rear row of seating can be more than doubled to 63 cubic feet when the rear seating is stowed.
It’s Fast
The XT5 isn’t just a practical SUV, as it has performance prowess built into its design. Drivers can choose between a 235-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, or a more potent 310-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 powerplant. Additional performance-driven features like electronic precision shifting, electric power steering assist, and a drive mode selector let drivers experience pure excitement.
It’s Comfortable
Comfort is emphasized in the XT5’s interior design, both in its space and available amenities. Front-row occupants have 39.7 inches of headroom and 41.2 inches of legroom, while the second row offers 38.4 inches of headroom and 39 inches of legroom. The front row features heated, power-adjustable bucket seats, while the second row consists of a 60/40 split-bench seat with slide and recline. All XT5 models have either leather or Inteluxe seating surfaces.
It’s Safe
Due to its comprehensive set of advanced safety features, the XT5 was awarded the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 5-star overall safety rating for 2025. Those features include daytime running lights, an HD rear vision camera, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, seven airbags with a passenger sensing system, and lane keep assist with lane departure warning.
It’s Loaded
The XT5 is loaded with special standard features that are considered optional in other mid-size SUVs. For example, it has a dual diagonal color driver information center and the Cadillac User Experience infotainment system with an 8-inch color touchscreen display. It also has a standard Bose premium 8-speaker sound system, remote starting, a cabin humidity sensor, front and rear park assist, and keyless entry.
The XT5 has many strong points that are certain to excite drivers, like its performance, comfort, and versatility. Visit Alexander Cadillac in Oxnard, CA, today to schedule a test drive of the XT5.
