2026 Cadillac XT5 Sport

The XT5 is Cadillac's mid-size two-row SUV, slotting between the smaller XT4 and the three-row XT6 in the brand's crossover lineup. It competes with the Lexus RX, BMW X3, and Acura RDX, offering a roomier cabin than most of those compact rivals. The XT5 rides with a calm, controlled demeanor, and the available V6 gives it confident passing power on the highway. Its suspension absorbs most road imperfections, though the Sport trim's firmer tuning trades a bit of comfort for sharper responses. Inside, the XT5 offers a well-built cabin with supportive seats, a user-friendly infotainment system, and generous cargo space for a two-row SUV. Stepping up to the Sport adds the 3.6L V6, the Twin Clutch all-wheel-drive system, and Brembo brakes with red calipers, so you get real performance hardware that the Premium Luxury doesn't offer. The 3.6L V6 makes 310 horsepower and sends power through a nine-speed automatic to all four wheels, giving this XT5 the punch to merge and pass with authority on the highway. The Chassis Damping Control suspension and Driver Mode Selector let you sharpen the responses when you want them, though the ride is firmer than the Luxury trim's setup.
