- The XT5 is Cadillacs answer to the midsize compact luxury. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 237HP & mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will find a unique front fascia & wheels. On the inside you are greeted by upscale materials and comfortable seating. Is the 2020 Cadillac XT5 a GOOD luxury SUV to BUY?

I have a 2018 that over 4 years nothing has gone wrong with it. Looking to upgrade to a 2021. Can't go wrong with the SUV, it handles amazingly.
I own the xt5 2019 and love it. Cadillac has done a great job and I'm now a customer for life
I have a 2023 XT5 Premium Luxury . I absolutely love it! It’s black on black! Beautiful ❤
Hi Joe, After your review, we bought the XT5 Premium Luxury. Have not been disappointed, thank you for the excellent reviews. Keep up the good work and I must mention the outstanding camera work. Look forward to more of your reviews.
That is so wonderful Tony! Thank you so much for being so supportive!
I’d like an XT5 with V6, AWD, and 20” wheels. I don’t need all the latest technology. Smooth ride. Reliable (according CR). Nice interior and features. Perfectly adequate for me.
I like the Xt5 with the V6 better. It’s the price I’m not too sold on. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Have a great Sunday! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I can totally understand where you are coming from. I hope your Sunday is going well!
Pick these up gently used,deprecation is huge
I rented one when I went to TX. It had the V6 & I loved it. I’ve wanted one every since. Comfortable, great visibility, well built & quiet. I sure hated it to return it before hopping a flight ack home.
Funny you mention the visibility. I test drove one of these and loved everything except the rear visibility. In all honesty I thought it was one of the most difficult SUVs to see out of that I have ever driven...
I like raiti's ride videos. He never miss talking about twinkies every single video that I watched.
Always a joy to watch your reviews, one that I respect, genuinely non-bias. Thank you for Joe!
Thanks Richard! I really appreciate that!
Always a joy to watch your reviews
I own a 2018 luxury awd 3.6 and I love it .I did own the Lincoln mkx previously and loved that SUV too
Another great review Joe. Watched all of your reviews before I bought my new Stinger. Also, I just about fell over laughing when you moved the rear seat back and forth🤣😂
I am currently driving my 7th Cadillac. Switched from a couple of other labels but always came back to GM. It's really a good car. I like the way this guy describes the vehicle. I was gonna buy one any way
Loving the Cadillac reviews, looking to get one eventually, may wait for the complete redesign if it's coming in the next year or two.
Huge thanks Joe for reviewing my favourite car Brand you are my number 1 favourite car reviewer now 👍👍👍
You are so very welcome my friend!
I wanna keep seeing car like this on your channel joe.. i am very glad to be your subcriber and your family 😊😊
@@piponamyriel565 You got it! Thanks for being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Great review as usual ...
An almost perfect review! Well done Sir👍🏾
Your reviews are excellent! So thorough I went to drive the 2022 XT5 it's beautiful! Everything you said was true! Drove the 2022 Lexus 300 also nice car but for me the Cadillac gave luxury seating , good feeling ride less feel of the road it was amazing . I'm sold !!! Thank you 🎉
I like your reviews and trust your opinion, your review of the XT5 encouraged me into buying my XT5 Premium Luxury 3.6 , so happy ever after.
Thank you.
Congrats Luay! Thank you for letting me share my car passion with you!
Great review
This will be my dream SUV! Nice job Joe.
Dream big brother!
I drive a 2017 XT5. I love it. It's a little harsh and uncommonly loud for a luxury suv. But it's a Cadillac and I love it. FTR, if I were to get another suv of this size, it would definitely be an Audi. However, tbs, I would definitely not pass on upgrading to a XT6 or the Ecalade or maybe even the venerable CT6.
Nice one Joe, I'm liking these Caddys too ...
I am so glad that I can bring it to you Rich! I appreciate watching!
It's good to see that XT 5 is still maintaining that old styling. I know it's time to move on with the new Escalade and XT 6 design. But the feeling of Old Nostalgia is still priceless.
Awesome review buddy 👍.
Thanks my friend!
It's really a srx
It's definitely good to watch Joe's reviews. When I buy my next car. I will only ask your opinion Joe😊
You are so awesome! Thank you for saying that!
Very Good Review
Thank You for the Laughs
I took this out for a cruise and it was a very comfortable ride. Your critiques are spot on as always but was a nice luxury ride. I'm still stuck between the Q5 and Mazda CX-5 GTR. If I could I'd get both. Until the next ride Joe. I will say the Heads-up display was much clearer & easier to see than the Mazda.
This XT5 looks good, nice quality interior, great digital mirror and surprised how the 4 banger responded....Like it!
I am so glad that you like liked this one.
Now you do a review on it! I own it it’s so good
Love your videos! You’re so funny!
I love the wheels on this XT5! They fit this car really well bc of the design
I am so glad that you do!
Thanks Joe for the video. I believe I would get the V6. I am still looking.
You are so very welcome!
For the money and size comparable I went with Buick Envision ac control and heated seats for the back seat passengers
Lovely Cadillac! And nice interior and exterior!
I am so glad that you like this one Brandon!
I love my Platinum. I use mine as a cruiser so the V6 works better for me. The turbo acceleration on the V4 is fun and impressive, but, again, the 6 works better for my needs.
I enjoyed your video. I just traded in my 2014 SRX for a 2020 premium luxury AWD V-6 AND I AM IN LOVE. I loved ♥ my SRX but this new one is beautiful. Ride is sweet and all the tech is wonderful. I am not sorry about the swap
Thank you so much for letting me share it with you Robert! Congrats by the way!
And are you still in love 2 years later?
Is the fwd drive worth it
Just sold my 2014 CTS 3.6 AWD, and traded in my wife’s 2012 SRX 3.6 FWD, for a 21 Premium Luxury XT5 V6 AWD. Rides better than either of those, and is quiet. I absolutely hated the Run Flats on my CTS. But the CTS handled as good as my 99 Corvette C5.
The door handle looks amazing! Almost looks like it rotates.
Very true!
I have a 2017 XT5. One thing you didn't mention, I'm 6'2", 300+ LBS. For anybody my size this is the easiest car to get in or out of. I've owned BMWs and Mercedes. On lease this is my forth Cadillac and it's the finest car I've driven. Nothing beats the Cadillac ride, period. I am waiting for the Lyriq with great anticipation.
So you think Cadillac have a better Ride then BMW and Mercedes?
@michiganman8383 of course , BMW is more Performance then luxury
BMW is like Lexus big brother .
@@michiganman8383Mercedes has of the best rides out there but not over a Cadillac + it's way too cramped/overpriced.
that’s very good looking and smooth
I am so glad that you like this one Jalen.
Great review Joe. XT5 shows very well but definitely lookingforward to seeing new redesign. Personally, l would go with the XT6.
Hay Hubert have you tried the XT4? I think you would love it. I had it as a loner for a few days and she handles like a dream
@@MegaToe13 To answer your question no. l will definately check it out when l bring in my vehicle for service.
Another great video Joe! Please review an Infinity Q50 Red (AWD). I’m looking at one and very curious about your thoughts/opinion.
I will try to get one together for you!
I purchased a 2017 certified XT5 almost a year ago. Overall, I like the vehicle and I’ve owned many Volvos, Acura and Mercedes. My biggest gripe, the ride is a bit too stiff and road impact harshness good be better. Coarse road surfaces brings on many interior buzzes, not a impression of luxury. But hey, for 23k for used with 37k miles on it, I’m happy with my choice.
Mercedes isn't that reliable plus horrible customer service
Tom is back? Hurray!!!
Yes sir!
I like this model, its the same platform as the 2016 Chevy Equinox.
Very plush! The V6 is powerful for 3.6 ltrs.
Yes, its expensive,but its a Cadillac!
A "murse" 😂 classic Joe!
Thanks man for letting me share some laughs with you!
A backpack is so much more masculine,attractive and dignified.
I love Cadillacs so much idk if I want the xt4 5 or 6
Good review. I’m looking at higher trim to get ventilated seats, tri zone hvac and nightvision. Thanks
Thanks! You are so very welcome!
I like. May be getting a 2021 next week. Getting prices from a couple of dealers now. The 4 cyl has plenty of power for me. But hey.....I'm a geezer.
An 8" center screen is starting to look small when the center screens in other cars are in the double digits of at least 10.25 to 13.2" (in the 2021 Nautilus). I hope Cadillac increases that screen size for the next gen XT5
It is crazy how things have changed when it comes to tech!
What do you need a 13" screen for? You are "DRIVING" watch the road and stay out of the lane next to you Millennial
I've commented in previous videos too , we would really love to see Lexus LFA in your channel .
I need to track one down for you!
@@RaitisRides will be waiting 🔥👍
I like the Raiti’s sir explanation of car reviews for different types.
Cadillac shall start making their sedans again just like the old days I hate the crossover trend
me too i like old cadillac with big trunk capisc
Burger King well said 👏 I agree
The Cadillac Celstiq electric car is coming. Should be over 500 horsepower.
We will see if that ever happens.
@@RaitisRidesIf is more like when. The annoucement coming soon. But trucks first!
Needs an update with a new gauge cluster. And hopefully a softer rear armrest.
Raiti likes his snacks! 😂😂😂
I don't hate the car but OMG why is Cadillac in love with these turbo 4 cylinder engines. I keep my car over 10 years. These engines are not built to last that long so sorry I cant buy it.
Based on 2021 Cadillac escalator with 4K display. I’ll wait for the redesign XT5 and I’ll put my money on it. Cadillac is the king of luxury 👑
Thanks for sharing your thoghts on this one.
Ventilated/ cooled seats are optional in the XT5 Premium Luxury trim & the Sport trim
Grate Video, your presentation style is much better than many others cause you bring the facts from the car not some bla bla 👍👏
I think about to buy a Audi SQ5 Diesel. Joe, do you think there is a counterpart on the market?
Best regards from Germany
Thanks you so much for saying that. I don't think there is a straight up rival to the SQ5 Diesel.
@@RaitisRides wow, thank you Joe, for the warpspeed answer🙏 and for confirming my fiew of the SQ5. I'll buy a used model from 2015-2016, cause the actual Modell has no Exhaust pipes at the rear, which it must have 😉
👍👍👍 for your channel
Best regards

Cadillac XT5: the official car for real estate agents
LOL!!! I couldn't help but laugh!! I just passed my real estate exam and want to upgrade to this!!!!!
Lol, thinking bout leasing one. But I’m not in real estate
Lol!!! I'm an agent and I'm certainly considering it. My 2009 Lincoln has had it! Lol
😂
Someone have been watching regular cars reviews lol
Between this, the xt4, and the Escalade, cadillac is knocking it out of the park. I don't know what they were thinking with the xt6.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
While I love my Mazda CX5, I'm ready to move up to something a little more luxurious but I don't want it bulky, like the Escalade. That's why I was looking at the XT6 (for the extra room). The XT5 would be like driving my car I think lol.
Did you get it? I have a 2015 MazdaCX-5 but I wanna trade my 2016 Chrysler 300C for this.
To me, storage capability is important. Joe Raiti you ever thought about giving each vehicle a Twinkie rating, when it comes to storage?
Nice felt lining so you don't scratch your m&m's
JOE ~ the good the bad & the ugly lol. this SUV has it all. I guess Caddie fans will like it, yeah the seats are nice & there are many good points to it, but it also leaves much to be desired, I feel like GM just kind of threw a bunch of left over parts together & said - look we have a new Caddie SUV. I don't hate it yet I'm not finding the nearest dealer either. it's a pro's vs. con's kind of SUV for me, unlike this incredible channel which is always at the top of my list of favorites. good report - tony
You are spot on the money Tony!
I have actually been researching the Jaguar F-Pace.... which can be had with a Turbo4 or their new twincharged Inline6 for upcoming 2021 models. 2020 and before the supercharged V6 is available along with the Turbo4. No matter which engine option the F-Pace uses the acclaimed ZF-8speed tranny, used in so many euro offerings because of its relaibility and performance. Jag just updated their interior for 2021(model yet to be on the market) but even the current car on the market is nice inside. Dynamically I think the Jag would have a better sporty ride due to its rear wheel drive bias. Can't speak to prices, but slightly used low mile Jags have great depreciation so its not as expensive to obtain one as one may think. Also, the Jag is elegantly designed...good interior space and all. Grace, space & pace... old Jag motto.
Thanks for sharing that great input.
Depending on the trim, it will make a difference. I have the premium luxury and it’s 55,000. Way more options. It’s worth it
Its realy fun to drive
“Lightly refreshed” = some new car mats
Actually the tires.
Raiti's Rides I was going to say the ashtray. 😂
This is a beautiful SUV.
I am so glad that you like this one.
Raiti's Rides Always.
I'm pro Gm , but the new twin turbo Ford explorer has that Cadillac , Chevy and GMC midsize SUV segment sewed up !!!!!
I always liked these. Steadily improving them going back to the original SRX design.
Looking forward to the new redesign.
Gotta go with AWD, or go home.
OK, Tom... Who's the Lady your hiding from??
Huge miss on ventilated seats!
Business side looks dated for the price.
Cream interior is purposely squishing moon pies! 🤫
Again, a great standard, from Caddy, with great design, just needs a freshing up on certain features with in the interior.
You asked, I'd probably go with a M-B SUV.
Thanks Joe, and Tom! 👍🏁🏁
What happened to crown 👑 Vic? 🤔 nice SUV. I don’t know which luxury suv I would choose. Right now I’m into muscle type cars that come in AWD. Outstanding review as always. 👍
Crown Vic is well. He was busy. and couldn't film. I am glad that I can share this one with you.
Not typically a plan of SUVs but this one alright actually!
Fan*!
I’m glad you like this one!
@@carspotterfl1883 I read your mind brother!
Out of everything out there, I'd go XT4 or Team Telluride to be honest. When I looked at the XT5, I didn't see any benefits to spend the extra cash. I really wish the XT5 had more of the XT4 exterior styling too. If I wanted to double my debt, I'd go Denali and Escalade price ranges...but I don't want to lol
Good call! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Its funny you mentioned the xt4 or telluride . We have our choice down to those two cars . Loved the xt4 but to expensive even after discounting the car 2200.00 plus another 1500 from Costco . . Also they were low balling my trade and they wouldnt really negotiate a better price . The Telluride gives you a lot more car for the money . It is much roomier more standard features in the higher trim levels and a better warranty . The also offered me 500 more for my trade than I asked for . I still think the xt4 is a nice car and probably would have bought it if the matched Kias offer on my trade . Going to give the Lincoln Corsair a look
I have a feeling Florida has a higher rate of car sales than most, or all other states from that gorgeous weather and car dealerships.
You might be right Adam!
Hi Joe how are you do you plan on bringing the 2021 Cadillac xt5 have a good weekend
If Cadillac puts that twin turbo v6 in those midsized SUVs they would be class leaders
When is the xt5 expected to get a redesign?
Another excellent review, Joe.
I might sound a bit rough, but I feel Cadillac is a worthless brand nowadays.
Lincoln does American luxury better, Chevy and Dodge do American performance better.
The last vehicles that I loved from Cadillac were the CTS-V coupe and wagon. Nowadays, I don’t associate the brand with anything in particular.
Thanks for your support! Cadillac really needs to up their game!
I don't really think that is an armrest at 14:40 of the video. I think it's hard and sturdy because it's really just a pulldown cupholder to secure drinks for the people in the backseat. I guess it could serve as an armrest but I don't think that is the intended purpose.
Also the XT5 replaced the SRX for the 2017 model year, not 2015 as mentioned 😇
Between the xt5 and xt6 is the seat widths and cabin width the same? I don’t need 3 rows but want the most comfortable seat.
I Would Buy A Lincoln Nautilus 2.7 AWD
Thr XT5 almost sells 2x as many Nautilus/MKX.
That is a great point.
@@normt430 This is true. I think Lincoln does a terrible job marketing them!
Yea but it makes it more special and seeing it less makes it feel premium
Spiritual successor to the SRX.
So very true!
Was there any mention of the stop and go technology on the 2020 vs the previous years
BMW x3 M40i i would purchase instead or just wait for the Acura RDX type S
Would you ever do a review on the 2021 Audi A5 Cabriolet?
I need to track one down. The pandemic has really screwed up delivery dates.
Never really considering a Crossover SUV but since the rising prices of vehicles lately… I’m considering between XT5 or the Ford Edge. Thanks Raiti Rides‼️
Xt5 is better xt5 competes with the lincoln nautilus not edge
Cadillac is competeting with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Tesla ...
Ford Egde your mainly competing with Chevy, Dogde... but your also in price range with Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, etc etc.
@@issavibez394yup something under then Cadillac, Mercedes, BMW but more luxurious then Ford, Mazda, Honda = Lincoln(Ford), Lexus, Acura, Buick , GMC .
@buddyboy4438 I have driven some cadillacs that performed better than some benz and bmw I was shocked
That rear view camera is nice to read license plates of people who tailgate you!
😅
It's nice enough but nothing really wowed me about it. The interior doors are lovely though.
54.6K seems like a high ask for this lower version. Wouldn’t question this price point if it was for the 6cyl version. That said , and to answer your question, the Volvo XC-60 would be my first choice.
I totally get where you are coming from Ken!
Wild thing is, it’s only a $1,000 jump from the 4 to the 6 cyl. Also noticed he says it’s a base luxury model but this is a premium luxury with a few packages added. Base has standard black “leather” and those rims aren’t an option
I’m seriously thinking of making the switch to the 2021 Lexus RX350 AWD.
More reliable.
No 2.0T that can push near RX hybrid fuel economy on the highway!
If I'm going the Cadillac Route,CT6-V.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Not too bad a looker this Cadillac is. It still needs some more power and amenities to really go up against the juggernauts. Thanks for the review Joe!!!
Edit:
Man I spit my tea out when you zonked the alphabet soup on the rear!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 a murse!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
#RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesGoWhere #CrownVic #OnThrottleAgain #Zonkmeister #CadillacXT5
They could probably take $5k grand off the price by getting rid of all those emblems.
The V6 has over 300 HP.
That's why u go for v6
The rear kinda reminds me of a 2003-2007 Nissan Murano
I can totally see it!
The back wipers are tucked in
I love these luxury CUV/SUV reviews. And that Vette one and those Ferrari ones, but I digress. Would love to see a head to head XT4, Q3, and X3 comparison from you.
Thanks for letting me bring them to you Richard. I will try to get that together for you.
No mention of the rear wiper?
This is a little older video Michael.
Cadillac still retains the sleek and stately long angular lines of the 80s, 90s Seville, Fleetwood & DeVille. With such beautiful designs, they still struggle against other luxury Euro, Japanese brands.
That is so very true!
You said in the drive portion that you know where you'd be spending your money in this segment, but then never said where. Just curious, as I'm looking to get a used (2016-2018) luxury suv of some type in the next few months - where would you go with your money. Looking for performance, comfort and reliability. Thanks for all your reviews. They're incredible!
I would go Acura RDX! You are so very welcome Matthew. Thanks for letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides wow... Never would have even looked at Acura. I've been looking into audi, land rover, Mercedes, Cadillac, Volvo and Mazda. All the usual suspects, but Acura wasn't even on my radar. I'll definitely check it out. I thought for sure you'd say audi sq5 for the performance and the virtual cockpit. Acura - out of left field! Thanks for the reply, Joe.
