2021 Cadillac XT5
INVENTORY

The remarkable 2021 Cadillac XT5 is a two-row midsize SUV with an excellent predicted reliability rating, great gas mileage, and plenty of room for passengers.

TRIMS/PRICE

Choose from three distinctive trims: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. The XT5 is relatively affordable compared to other midsize SUVs. The base XT5 Luxury offers one of the lowest starting prices in its class, and the top Sport trim has a lower starting price than that of most rivals.

Luxury – starting from $43,995
Premium Luxury – starting from $48,795
Sport – starting from $55,095

EXTERIOR

From its color choices to its added luxury features, the stylish XT5 still keeps up-to-date in a generation that debuted for the 2017 model year. Despite smaller windows and mirrors that can make it hard to see out of the back at times, and some exterior noise that comes into the cabin, the overall exterior styling has been well received. When it comes to features, higher trims add or replace those found on the previous trim.
