Just bought my 2019....and I really love it so far....the best thing is I bought it for under 23K after taxes! You can always save a ton buying a year old model :)
Where?
The interiors with the platinum package are truly beautiful. The materials are impeccable.
Oh my, this new & improved 2020 model is way more stylish than the first XT-5 from ten yrs ago! I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing here, way to go Cadillac! I'm particularly interested in the "Sportz Edition" & looking forward to you guys reviewing that one for us in the near future. However, this one isn't bad by any stretch that's for sure! Great review guys & keep up the progress Cadillac & I'm certain you will gain many more customers if you offer more bang for the buck compared with your Lexus competitor!
This channel has grown so much overtime. Keep up the good work guys!👍🏾
Thanks!
2 years ago we bought a Lincoln Nautilus and have loved it but it developed a engine light issue and been in the shop 3 times in 4300 miles and now getting a new wiring harness and in the shop for 7 weeks. We have lost faith in the car and just bought a 2021 XT5 Sport White with Kona Brown interior. Will pick it up in about a week.
It has so far but we put very few miles on it. The Lincoln was a way more luxurious car. XT seats are hard.@@bradh6185
I love the 2020 Cadillac XT 5, it’s very nice and Stylish!!!
Now all Cadillac has to do is give it an actual name.
screenPhiles XT5
Love, love love my Cadillac. No issues for 3 years. Then I lost it to a scam. Really miss it!
Keep rolling out these cadillac videos!!! I’m excited to see the CT4 review!!! And CT5 V review!
Yeah we're looking forward those as well!
I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how well they executed this refresh. I generally have low expectations for GM, but in this case it looks nicely done. Good thing too, because Lincoln has been crushing it with their recent SUV line up, and Cadillac needs to remain competitive. No sound decibel reading?
I'd buy one. My 2013 SRX AWD is the best winter vehicle I have ever owned.
Love this!! My mom is looking at the XT5 so this video is great.
IAM PETER she will love it!
Z o I’m?;]
shoot...you confirmed my suspicion that it was more like a lady's car..I liked the car but now I am going with my second choice...and Cadillac. .do something about the rear end that looks like it is sitting higher than the rest of the car and makes the wheel look small .
Howdy, great review as always!😸
Another good option to consider Cadillac has to offer what the consumer is demanding and increase quality
Three years ago today! Might try to buy it!
I like the XT5. Couple nitpicks, I wish the instrument cluster was all digital and the nav/radio unit had a bigger screen. I would like an option of a motor that had more HP.
Love mine!
I love cadillac chevy buick and GMC
I like the headlights :D
I been looking at the XT5 didn’t know they had a 4 cyl I went from a v8 to a 4 and never looked back all my cars have been 4 cyl so nice to know
I want to upgrade my current Mazda CX-5 to 2020 Cadillac XT5 in blue 🤤
Great review, Gorgeous Caddi!! I am definitely more a fan of the wood trims than the aluminum trim.
Thanks!
Please show rear center arm rests and boot open floor. In which the spare wheel is . Please
Nice review! First time seeing one of yours... will subscribe now. Kthxbye.
Awesome! We appreciate it and welcome you to the Car Confections 'family'! 😁
2020 Cadillac xt5/ 2020 Lexus RX 350 comparison please!!
My Lexus RX has 342 THOUSAND miles ....still runs and drives great, hoping to get it to 400 thousand ...
Last GM product I bought was a 2009 Chevy Avalanche.....total crap...47 thousand dollars for junk....I will never buy American again....and I grew up in Detroit.....
Tony Salami Lol. You have any idea how many GM products have 300,000+ miles on them and still running smooth? Your Avalanche does not determine the build quality of this 2020 Cadillac XT5. Most ridiculous comment ever. Toyota fanboys are so full of themselves.
I think i am leaning towards the Lincoln Nautilus
The LED reverse back up light is in a weird spot
Great Video. I think I would go for a Lexus or Lincoln instead.
I'm glad I got the 2019. If you wonder what the 350T on the back of the 4 banger stands for or the 400 on the back of the V6 it is for the apx newton-meters of torque for each engine. Lame. GM apparently thinks we all have to get used to driving electric motors vs internal combustion engines; or at least finding some way to compare apple to apples. Not.
My main beef with the XT5 is the tilt wheel; it won't lower far enough or fast enough. Take a look at these guys and where the wheel is. Too high, although they probably drove it before they learned how to operate the tilt; which is not obvious either. Takes getting the feel of the 4 way button for both tilt and telescope. The wife also has short legs and complains that the seat hits the back of her legs, bothering her when she drives. They need to shorten the seat front by at least 1/2". I could live with that myself. And finally, the paddle shifters should be mounted somehow on the column vs. turning with the steering wheel. In manual mode (one way to keep the engine running at a stop light also) from a stop, and then turning around a corner, you want to upshift from 1 to 2 but the paddle is not reachable once you crank the wheel. So, you end up revving the engine by the time you straighten the wheel and grab your upshift (downshifting should be done before a turn, so that's not a real issue). All the other issues, like no spare tire, are something you just need to learn and get used to. Overall the XT5 ranks about a 7.5 on a 10 scale IMHO. For the money it is a great ride. The 2020 CT6-V or the Z51 Corvette would be my dream car instead. ;^)
I have a premium luxury,20 " rim ,3.6 front wheel drive,I avg 21.6 city.28 Hwy.
2020 xr5 vs 2020 corsair Please
What is the number of cabin sound test !!
Id take this over any German rival but not over the RX.
Andy's Shop Yep my dude
But I wouldn’t buy neither of those
@@legendaryslayer1234 so what would you buy?
@@_q3017 Lexus for reliability. If we don’t care about reliability and money, I’ll go with BMW
Great Review it’s nice but I would get the XT4 it’s newer and nicer in my opinion.
Your saying that because it's priced cheaper.
@@EDsavantlol right
Way better than blan old lexus
Is Cadillac offering a 4 year maintenance package on the 2020 XT5 ? You didn’t mention the rear view camera ?
They no longer offer that (you only get the first service as complimentary)
Looks good except for the black cladding on the bottom
HUGE ZONK!! My only problem with this vehicle.. Unless you get it in BLACK!! The new Buick Encore GX rectifies that.. The entire vehicle is one SOLID COLOR!! In a certain trim of course.. Downside being its engine and cvt..
Great video. Unfortunately, this doesn’t come close to the quality in new Lexus, and absolutely nowhere near it’s German rivals.
Its better than the Germans in terms of reliability
Andy's Shop most people who have enough money to buy a new BMW, Mercedes or Audi only keep them for 4 to 5 years. They are perfectly reliable for 5 years, and likely even longer. My X5 is now almost 4 years old with 85,000 kms on it and not one single issue besides a recalibration for the lane keep assist camera/radar thing.
It’s his money, so you can’t do about it Andy Shop
Dylan F Where do you live at?
I assume you probably live in a different country if you said km
Looks nice but as a premium tbh.
Lol y'all are at Southland! You get chickfila after the review??
Not this time, but was tempted!
3.6 engine only for me.
Better off just buying the Chevy blazer and it can towing capacity 4500
That's not a soft touch plastic on the door or dash. It is rapped in leatherette or leather depending on trim. Also it was always like that.
That is soft touch plastic with stitching. I did forget to mention the leather dash and door trim for the Platinum package models
2,000.00 off right now 3/9/2020 .
We just bought one but only got 1500.00 one day later GM gave 2,000 off.
DDE .... No worries, I
would have woken you
There is no way i would buy this over a Lexus RX350. Cant compare the comfort quality reliability durability and customer experience and service you get with the lexus. Plus the powertrain refinement in the lexus is leaps and bounds better than the 3.6 in the caddy and definitely the 2.0t. Ive driven both and the attention to detail that is so abundant in the lexus is almost nonexistant in the caddy. sorry caddy. plus the price you pay for what you get in terms of build quality and materials is just not up to snuff.
Do you think Buick is the middle of luxury and regular vehicle?
That's what they target, yes
This car, in my opinion, looks like a $35-40k vehicle at most. The X3 and and Q5 look to be in a completely different league.
I like this better than the Audi and BMW
Andy's Shop well then you’re a complete and utter moron. I know America doesn’t have the greatest education system, but you really should be smart enough to know that GM is an absolutely terrible, failed company.
DDE this is about the same price as the X3 and Q5. To me that’s a no go..having said that, I bet many dealers are selling these at big discounts relative to MSRP.
The best midsize SUV for under $500K!
I hope cadillac puts AKG in all the products very soon because I've sat and listened to the bose sound system and it can't compete with other systems in the market.
On most occasions I would not find myself spending so much money unless I got the exact colors that look right on the design. The only combination of colors that doesn't seem to cheapen the luxury of this model would be white exterior with the Sedona interior and wood trim. Everything else is too plain or two non luxury looking
It reminds me of how my wife got a Honda Fit And I asked her notice how black was the only one that didn't make the car look dirt cheap haha
Minor refresh*
👍👍👍👌👌👌
The V 6 is the way to go. 4 is just under powered
I would love to see a comparison between the XT 5 and the Lincoln Nautilus.
Lin Hunnicutt the Lincoln Nautilus is much nicer than this junk.
Dylan F I totally agree about the Lincoln and think a comparison would show how much better the Lincoln is.
Solely on the side of reliability, Lexus will still win.
With electronics, definetly. However GM makes a pretty solid drivetrain on their newer cars
Andy's Shop I’m taking about in general. Every part on a Toyota product has at least double the longevity. I’ve owned multiple GM cars over the years and it’s costed a hell of a lot more to own than any of my Toyota’s or Lexus
DudleyIsDumb Haha 😂 That’s funny because Toyotas “in general” have issues just like everything else on the road. Sensor issues, airbag issues, RAV4 gas tank issue, etc.
My friend’s 2014 Camry has electronic issues that I never had to deal with on my 2014 Malibu. Anything with outdated tech can be reliable, and Lexus is the epitome of outdated electronics. This Cadillac XT5 trumps the Lexus RX in that regard, and will generally be a reliable and easy to own/maintain alternative. Not to mention a much more luxurious and intuitive interior.
Millions of toyotas and Lexus have been recalled recently going back to 2013
mybro727 “My Friend” Consumer reports of cost of ownership, maintenance reports and every other piece of evidence shows that Toyota’s are better than GM products reliability wise. Keep fanboying over it I guess... I’m a BMW fan but at least admit they are unreliable as shit
Nice car but overpriced! I suppose the auto union contracts adds 10-12% to the MSRP.
557th view, 76th like with 0 dislikes and 21st comment!!
It’s good to see Cadillac isn’t giving up. Also you’re presenting has gotten smoother!👊🏿🔥
Thanks!
what gm body is this off of? Equinox? Traverse or its own?
It's shares platforms with GMC Acadia, Chevy Blazer and a host of other GM SUVs
The touch screen is still stupidly tilted forward so overhead sun washes it out. So simple to make it vertical or provide a sun screen but no. Very annoying on my car.
Okay come on guys, Cadillac xt5 vs 2021 refreshed Lincoln Nautilus! My belief is that the Lincoln will run away with the honors. Will you do this Comparison for us?
I see 10 XT5 for every Lincoln in Florida.Both nice I had an 09 Lincoln.but had tranny issues & went 11 SRX then just got the XT5 premium luxury .love it.
I have been a cadillac owner for many years , and we just started looking to upgrade our current SRX ,
WHEN , did Cadillac become so crappy !!!! The seats are hard as plywood ? the inside noise is terrible ! the Buick Envision has better seating ! sadly disappointed !!!!!!!!!!!
How can you tell how much fuel is in the tank?
The fuel gauge, unless I'm misinterpreting your question?
@@CarConfections does it tell you exactly how many miles you have left in gas?
Yes
This is beautiful but the rx is just better imo
I'd get it over a Lexus
Make sure you have extra money and a way to get to and from the dealer when your Cadillac needs repairs.
@@TheFoxwiz Depends. If you're referring to short term reliability the Cadillac and Lexus are relatively comparable 3-5 years of ownership generally tend not to have reliably issues. 5+ years of ownership, yes the Lexus generally will have less issues. You are more likely to get a deal on the Cadillac over the Lexus and the 5k or so you save will balance out any maintenance fees you may have.
@@TheFoxwiz dont worry, its not a Lincoln
Andy's Shop GM vehicles are much more reliable than Ford/Lincoln you tool. And shut the hell up about reliability, no one cares. We get it you’re the “reliability” king.
Dylan F ... they didn’t say GM was less reliable. Their exact words are ”don’t worry, it’s not a Lincoln” as in you don’t have to worry about it breaking down all the time because it’s not a Lincoln, it’s a GM and thus more reliable. Calm down and read before calling names and making an ass of yourself
The 2.0 liter turbo requires premium gas, the 3.6 takes regular and costs $1000 more. While the 2 liter may be marginally more fuel efficient, your net annual cost for gas may be a wash. That said, this refreshed XT-5 may be the first new Cadillac I would put on my short list.
Are you sure about that? I thought I read that it was the other way around, with the 3.6 taking premium, while the 2.0 taking regular.
As a point of reference for the rear seat space, how y’all are you?
Front seat is adjusted to 5'8", and Mason is 5'9"
Car Confections thanks!
Plastic all around the bottom of the exterior has to go.
price point SUCKS. What's the matter with everyone.
First yet again!
She'll get tired of that soon.😉
I really want to buy an American luxury vehicle and sell my Audi but the finishes are just not nearly as well done
The Refresh needs a refresh
For anyone that owns one of these cars please help me. I own a Cadillac SRX love it but has given me MANY problems I really want the xt5 but am scared about the reliability because of my srx. For owners of xt5 is it reliable?
Newer GMs are more reliable
I just buy srx 2 days ago. Now I'm scared
Hilarious headline. Does it propel past the rx? Uh no. Lol. It’s not as reliable or as modern looking or as comfortable
I prefer the Chevrolet Blazer.
Especially in RED/BLACK with BLACK WHEELLS and Trim shining like new mony.. Blazer RS..
I almost feel like with the introduction of the XT6 and Cadillac making the less powerful turbo standard I feel like they are more so pushing this as an NX competitor vs the RX since it has kinda grown out of this segment with features & size with the larger L available.
LR Young the XT4 is an NX competitor. The XT5 is a direct competitor to the standard size RX.
@@stefanb.5154 Standard size if it stays standard size with the next generation because its obviously moving upmarket. The XT4 is defintely not directly geared twd compacts Cadillac has compared this to smaller subcompacts X1, XC40, UX, Q3 etc... Although obviously certain options make certain models overlap
LR Young it’s actually closer in size to those of the compact category rather than the subcompact. The xt4 is Cadillac’s compact with the xt5 and xt6 being the midsize and large 3 row respectively. It wouldn’t make sense for them to have a marketable subcompact and not a true compact.
@@stefanb.5154 I've been in the presence of that vehicle multiple times. It doesn't even have a 3rd quarter panel window. 😂 It's a lil bigger because it's a tweener but in reality the vehicle is not that roomy just wide.
LR Young If they marketed it as a subcompact crossover it would change the naming scheme entirely as they wouldn’t have a compact crossover at all. You do realize that right? I’m sure Cadillac isn’t that dumb. The xt4 is targeted towards compact, the xt5 midsize, and the xt6 as a 3-row. It’s the only logical mechanism. There’s no other reasoning that would even make sense. Cadillac restructured their entire lineup to fit this specific listing for sedans and crossovers. Any journalist could tell you that.
Car seems a bit confusing with the gear and volume controls
All I need to know is: What is the residual value of both cars 1 day, 1 month, 1 year and 5 years after you take possession? The Caddy will be worthless when compared to the Lexus... GM took billions of our tax dollars in a bailout to manufacture crap like this... while Toyota has been making money the old fashioned way...they earn it by giving us vehicles that are worth buying.
What makes this crap?
@@michiganmanmurphy8710 re read what I wrote a little more slowly, ok?
@@alierikenoglu8006 I did,now how is this crap?
@@michiganmanmurphy8710 Compared to Lexus, for the reasons I outlined, calling a GM product crap is an insult to all the sewage under the streets of Michigan. The quality, engineering, resale value, performance and longevity of the caddy are all painfully inferior to even Toyota... nevermind Lexus.
@@alierikenoglu8006 Well that wasn't the case when the CTSV and the ATSV were in.They beat out even German cars in Performance,and Engineering.Now i dont know bout this new lineup with the CT5 And CT4,just have to wait.
LEXUS RX THE BEST!!!
Justin Xu just watched an RX video and all they could say was how dated the RX looks now.
This will never beat a Lexus. FACT
Looks like the mommy of mom cars
Surprisingly bad fuel economy
I have the 3.6 I get 22 city 28 Hwy.
Luxury car and a 4 cylinder? No thanks. Out on the highway its way underpowered
Cadillac propel any vehicle past ANY Lexus.... never, zero chance.
BUYER BEWARE my Cadillac was stuck in cruise control accelerating up to 105 MPH had to shut the car off to get it to stop!!!!
This new grill is ugly..they made this car look like a bunch of other cars .. a dopey move!
Seriously? A Cadillac better than a Lexus? HA HA HA HA. Never has happened and never will happen.
The new Escalade crushes the LX
Andy's Shop Not sure about crush, but within 3 or 4 years the Cadillac will be in the shop and the Lexus will be driving without problems.
TheFoxwiz giving Cadillac a bit too much credit there
TheFoxwiz my 2004 LX470 has 325k miles and no issues. I doubt the Cadillac will reach 100k without major issues.
weak engine. over taxed, over time.
Looks the same as a 2012 model. Literally an egg. A plastic egg
