Cadillac’s new, mid-size crossover arrived in 2015, replacing the SRX. Since then, the XT5 has remained quiet as the luxury brand emphasized its newer products like the 2019 XT4 compact hauler and the upcoming XT6 SUV.
But Caddy’s global best-seller resurfaces, entering the darker side with a more sportier look with the new limited-edition Sport Package.
Introduced today at the Chicago Auto Show, the limited XT5 Sport Package will be available on the XT5’s Luxury and Premium Luxury trims only. As Cadillac puts it, “The new XT5 Sport package harmonizes styling cues from Cadillac’s new Sport models, first launched on XT4 and all-new XT6.”
The XT5’s 310 Horsepower V6
We drove the all-new, smaller XT4 Sport last fall; up close, it’s a much bolder look that tones down the chrome. Features like the gloss black grille with Galvano surround, 20-inch aluminum wheels with Technical Gray finish, and clear taillamp lenses will offer the 2019 XT5 a more aggressive style we know will suite the 310-hp, 3.6L V6-powered crossover just fine.
Other Sport Package features include an interior with sport pedals and two interior colour choices; other styling updates include side-assist steps, LED headlamps, signature lighting and cornering lamps.
