With capable powertrains, good fuel economy, premium interior design, and ample space, the 2021 Cadillac XT5 offers a wide range of benefits. To compete with rivals, Cadillac greatly enhanced its XT5 in 2020, including adding a new turbocharged base engine and upgrading to wireless smartphone integration. Those upgrades were carried forward in 2021. Our sales and leasing professionals at Preston Superstore can help you identify the trim that makes the most sense for you.

1. Safety

The 2021 XT5 includes a variety of assistance features to keep drivers safe on the road. Its tailgating alert signals if you’re following another vehicle too closely, while the forward collision alert detects potential front-end collisions. Similarly, the front pedestrian braking feature detects people ahead of you, providing hard emergency braking if necessary. Helping to prevent these collisions is the night vision camera, which displays a thermal heat image of pedestrians or large animals ahead.

Lane departure warnings alert you if you unintentionally drift out of your lane, while lane keep assist issues a brief, gentle steering-wheel turn to get you back between your lines. Similarly, its lane change alert with side blind zone detection will signal if a car approaches your blind spots. The available automatic parking assist can identify parking spaces, then steer and brake your vehicle into them.

2. Performance

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which comes standard on both the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims, delivers 235 horsepower with 258 pound-feet of torque. Opting for the stronger 3.6-liter V6 engine will get you 310 horsepower with 271 pound-feet of torque. Both engines utilize active fuel management, giving the four-cylinder engine a 22/29 fuel mileage, while the V6 checks in at 18/26.

The available all-wheel-drive helps you maintain poise whether you’re driving in rain, snow, or ice. The XT5 also features a driver mode selector, which can maximize fuel economy, help you maintain road traction, and enhance performance, depending on your preference and driving conditions. Additionally, available real-time chassis damping control adjusts the suspension to road conditions, ensuring a more comfortable ride.

3. Interior

The luxurious interior is crafted with leather, natural woods, and carbon fiber trim. Maximizing the driver experience is the dashboard layout, featuring a center display with various in-vehicle apps that’ll keep you connected to the world while you’re on the go. The 2021 XT5 also comes with wireless functionality for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to cut the cord and connect your smartphone through Bluetooth.

The XT-5 offers 63 cubic feet of room, allowing plenty of storage space for whatever you’re hauling, whether you’re leaving the grocery store or heading on a dream vacation. In addition, the available tri-zone climate control allows you and your passengers to set your own temperatures, while the heated and ventilated seats deliver increased comfort on long journeys.

4. Exterior

The XT5 features an elegant grille, displaying a bold face and sharp lines. Stunning curves meet sleek LED headlamps and taillamps. The headlamps also employ automatic high-beam assist, alternating between high and low beams depending on traffic conditions. The cornering lamps cast light around corners to maximize visibility.
