History
The Cadillac SRX was introduced in 2004 as a mid-size luxury crossover, aiming to bridge the gap between Cadillac's luxury sedans and full-size SUVs. Built on the Sigma platform, shared with the CTS sedan, the SRX offered a more dynamic driving experience than traditional SUVs. Initially, it was available with V6 and V8 engines, as well as rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations. In 2010, Cadillac redesigned the SRX, transforming it into a compact crossover with a front-transverse platform, eliminating the third-row seating, and focusing on a sportier driving experience. This version was powered by V6 engines, including a 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 308 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The SRX was produced until 2016, when it was replaced by the Cadillac XT5. (cars.com)
