The completely redesigned 2010 SRX crossover brings a more dynamic alternative to the luxury crossover.

It features a dramatic design, inside and out, with more efficient engine choices offered on a new luxury crossover architecture.

The midsize SRX’s advanced V6 engines are the smallest-displacement engines Cadillac offers in North America.

A new, 3.0-litre direct injected V6 engine is standard and a new, 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 is optional.

Both employ advanced technology that helps produce strong performance that is typical of larger-displacement engines, but with greater fuel economy and lower emissions.

Performance and safety are enhanced by an available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system designed to optimize vehicle handling and stability in all driving conditions.

The pre-emptive, active-on-demand system provides an extra measure of capability in wet or icy conditions.

The 2010 SRX rides on a wide track designed to deliver a nimble, responsive driving experience. It seats five, with generous occupant and cargo room, and can tow up to 1,587 kg when properly equipped.

A multi-piece shield grille and Cadillac’s iconic vertical headlamps — with light pipe technology and available adaptive forward lighting — are the face of the SRX.

The 2010 SRX features numerous advanced electronic systems. Highlights include a “pop-up” navigation screen in the dashboard with three-dimensional imaging, adaptive forward lighting that swivels the headlamps in synch with vehicle steering, power liftgate with programmable height setting, integrated hard disc drive for audio storage and a dual-screen system for rear entertainment.
