Cadillac’s replacement for the SRX is called the XT5, and though it’s similar in spec and size and kit to an abundance of posh-ute competitors, a number of notable differences help it stand apart in a market segment that’s more crowded with chrome and leather and glitz than a burlesque expo. It’s not the sports car of the luxury utility sce

The all-new 2017 Cadillac XT5 crossover goes on sale across Canada in April wearing a starting price tag of $45,100, plus a $1,950 freight charge.

Things were so much simpler in the 20th century. Enter your favourite wine store, and you’d see solid, clear offerings of a precise variety: bordeaux, cabernets, chardonnays, merlots, and pinots. All perceived flavours are of authentic sources: the wood is wood, the leather is the real thing, even up on the dashboard, and the suede-looking ma

For the 2020 model year, it’s time for Cadillac’s popular XT5 – the brand’s best-selling model in Canada so far this year – to make the jump into the Cadillac’s “Y” strategy, where the model branches off from base into two distinct veins: Sport and Premium Luxury. We first saw the new nomenclature on the 2019 XT4 compact CUV. “(The Y Strategy) m
