2016 CADILLAC SRX – CADILLAC’S BEST SELLING CROSSOVER

Since its debut in 2010, Cadillac SRX has proven to be one of Cadillac’s most successful vehicles of all time. In fact, it was, the best-selling model of Cadillac at a point, a great achievement for an entrance level crossing that is bordering the luxury territory. The first years of the SUV were relatively free of problems, but with the competitors gaining ground soon, he fell quickly, since it was passed by practically most of his direct rivals. It is not that the SRX has been achieved, but the competition has reached a point where they are a complete level above it. The fact that Cadillac decided to leave it unchanged for 2016 is a bit of concern, but they say that loyal fans of the brand do not really care about small details like that and we sincerely believe that they are fine.

The SRX is a luxury junction SUV that is at the upper end of the spectrum in its segment. As such, it comes in four different cuts: base, luxury, performance and premium.

Exterior design and adjustment levels

The base may be the most affordable, but you will be surprised to find out how much Gadgets comes with the standard. For example, there are 18-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, synthetic leather upholstery, automatic climate control, automatic headlights, a 60/40 rear seat division, cruise control and an eight-way adjustable driver seat. The cue interface comes with the 8-inch screen, a wonderful addition to the luxurious base cut. Naturally, there is the OnStar system, WiFi on board, a Bose sound system with eight speakers, Bluetooth and audio connectivity, as well as a USB jack and an auxiliary connector.

Move to the luxury edge, and it will be even more damaged with features such as keyless, keyless entry, Front parking sensors, Rear parking sensors, Power folding mirrors, Rearview camera, Blind Tip Monitoring, Automatic wipers, A Power LiftGate and even a panoramic sunroof. The front seats are heated and so is the steering wheel. The driver’s side has a memory function with a pair of different positions, and there is also a loading system. The Audio Department has been assumed by Bose in the form of a ten-speakers system.

The same options are standard in the highest performance adjustment, but as is the sports cut out of the group, obtains 20-inch alloy wheels, adaptive shock absorbers (although they are only for the drive version on the wheels), a sport suspension , Xenon adaptable in the front. In addition, we have adaptive fog lights and variable effort direction (the amount of resistance and feedback provided by the wheel is changing and is mainly affected by speed and address entry).

The Premium Star ribete has its own unique features that really make it stand out from the “Llanadas” versions that the SRX has. First, there is a tri-area climate control, hot rear seats, in addition to fronts, ventilated front seats, a driver consciousness package with systems, such as forward collision and lane output, a safety alert For the driver’s seat and the automatic high beams. . If you are in extremely luxury and all the toys you can get, this is the cut for you.

Interior of 2016 SRX

The interior of the SRX is good for the most part. When he left, we remember saying how nothing could come to be nearby. Well, that statement remained certain for some years, but without any important update, we are scared that competitors have achieved it. Even so, the sensation and the general aspect of the cabin are the extreme quality, despite age. The adjustment and finish are mostly great, with the exception of a small minor deficiency that we find here and there. The wooden accents seemed out of place in certain areas (especially when they were polished), but it is a really nice cabin to be, one that manages to mix technology and luxury beautifully.

A central part of the SRX is its Cue interface. The InfoenterEnsion interface is not simply ideal for the eye, but also easy in the brain. It is not complicated, and with a little practice, anyone could easily navigate. If we are going to be completely honest, the response time of it is painfully slow, that is the only real inconvenience as far as we can see. It is not only the exhibition in itself that is Laggy, but all the system and the processing power. Even if you enter something through the physical buttons, you may not always register them, or register them very late. If you are seriously in technology, look elsewhere on rival models for the latest and newest in this field.

The room, however, is an area where the SRX does not lack at all. There is a decent amount of background foil and space in both rows, and the back can fit surprisingly even full-size adults with relative comfort. The 30 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row are also a good addition to the spacious cabin.

2016 Cadillac Srx Powertrain

Under the hood, you will find a 3.6-liter V6 that develops 308 HP and 265 lb-ft of torque. It is coupled to a six-speed automatic, so, unfortunately, there is no manual option here. Standard, it is presented as a front-wheel drive, but can specify it with the total traction system. In the tests, we find that it reached the 60-mile mark per hour from a standing point at 7.0 seconds (although the front traction version). Nor is it really impressive, but it’s not slow, what makes it around the average by its segment.

Something below average is the figure of the fuel economy. He manages to return only 19 miles per gallon in the combined race and a miserable 24 mpg on the road. And that is the front traction version. The Equipped SRX AWD makes the same races with 18/23 mpg. At least the quality of the trip is more than decent thanks to very compatible cushions, softening each blow as if they were not there. The Cadillac leads as it is in a cloud, naturally, which is naturally in a corporal roll but not too much. It is not really a driving car, but it is still one of the best options.

PRICE

Prices start at $ 37,600, which makes it relatively expensive for what it is. If you think the price is justified, go therefore, but we tested the competition before deciding any vehicle.
