The XT5 joins the all-new XT6 three-row
crossover and the recently launched, segment-topping XT4, along with the iconic
Escalade, to give Cadillac one of the industry’s freshest lineups of luxury
crossovers and SUVs.
“Cadillac’s global momentum continues
to accelerate with new and compelling products such as the revamped 2020 XT5,”
said Steve Carlisle, Cadillac’s President. “Along with additional new
crossovers and sedans, including the XT6 and CT5, the brand is redefining
itself for a new generation of customers for whom luxury and technology are
inextricably linked.”
The 2020 XT5 will follow the brand’s
new global “Y” trim strategy, better meeting customer demand and sharpening its
position in the Cadillac showroom.
The XT5 range starts with the
well-equipped Luxury model, with Premium Luxury and Sport models offering
distinctive takes on Cadillac design and driving dynamics. An emphasis on
bright trim and contemporary décor defines the Premium Luxury model, while a
darker, more aggressive appearance underscores the XT5 Sport. The XT5 features
a new, bolder grille design, available in two textures that reflect the new
personas. A Platinum package, delivering the pinnacle of technology and most
sophisticated interior in the lineup, is offered with each trim level.

Cadillac's 2.0L Turbo engine. |
The 2.0L turbo’s twin-scroll
turbocharger and unique, three-step sliding camshaft help the engine optimize
performance across the rpm band, for a greater feeling of on-demand power at
all speeds. It is rated at an SAE-certified at 237 horsepower (177 kW) and 258
lb.-ft. of torque (350 Nm).
The 3.6L V6 is rated at 310 horsepower
(231 kW) and 271 lb.-ft. of torque (367 Nm). Both engines employ technologies
such as direct injection, camshaft phasing, Active Fuel Management (cylinder
deactivation) and automatic stop/start to optimize efficiency.
Luxury and Premium Luxury models
feature revised front struts and driveline enhancements designed to improve
ride comfort and road isolation. Distinguishing elements of the Sport model
include standard dual-clutch Sport Control AWD with Active Yaw Control,
Continuous Damping Control adaptive suspension, quicker steering ratio and
20-inch wheels.
Models with the 2.0L Turbo feature a
new, electronically controlled braking system that replaces the conventional
vacuum-assisted system. With it, a compact electric motor provides power
braking assistance and enhances overall efficiency by reducing the parasitic
engine drag incurred with a traditional vacuum booster. It also provides
excellent response and feedback.
