Overview

Competing in the midsize luxury SUV segment, the 2011 Cadillac SRX SUV goes up against other notable names in the class, like the BMW X5 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Spread across 6 trims, the SRX starts off at a base price of MSRP $34,615 and carries on to $52,360. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 3.0L V6 engine rated for 265 horsepower and 223 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the SRX gives you a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. A 2.8L turbocharged V6 engine is also offered in the top-end Turbo trims, with an output of 300 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines.

The 2011 Cadillac SRX is an affordable and capable SUV in its segment. There are six trims offered and we recommend getting the mid-level Luxury trim that offers impressive value for money. It comes loaded with added features including front and rear parking sensors, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, wood trim, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera.

              Cadillac srx experience

              Pros - [""Good engine. Comfort features"", ""Heated seats"", ""Miles per gallon is ok""]

              Cons - [""Transmission have issues"", ""Oil change is costly"", ""Electrical is poor""]

              The srx is a good car over all. Good handling. It decent on gas.smooth driving.it is expensive to maintain.electrical needs major improvement. Battery drains quick. I would never purchase a Cadillac of any type.
