The SRX is out and in its place Cadillac has introduced the Cadillac XT5 crossover. The XT5 is the beginning of a new range of crossovers from Cadillac, with the next one being a smaller XT3. But back to the XT5. Is it a worthy replacement for the SRX? Here are the top five things you need to know about the 2017 Cadillac XT5:

Cruising along the highway on our way to Las Vegas, the XT5 swallowed the road’s imperfections with ease. It wasn’t really exciting to drive, but it was pretty comfortable and relaxed.
