2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum

The 2019 XT5 is Cadillac's midsize luxury SUV, slotting between the compact XT4 and the three-row XT6. It competes with the Lincoln Nautilus, Acura RDX, and Lexus RX 350 in the premium two-row crossover segment. The XT5 rides with a composed, quiet demeanor, and its V6 delivers confident acceleration for daily driving. Inside, the cabin offers comfortable seating for five, with a practical cargo area and upscale materials across trims. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus available driver-assistance features. Semi-aniline leather, real wood trim, and a power-adjustable steering column mark out the Platinum as the top XT5 trim. Its 3.6L V6 makes 310 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, returning 21 mpg combined. Only the Platinum gets the twin-clutch rear differential, which can vector torque between the rear wheels for sharper cornering.
