The Cadillac SRX was one of the first wagon-like vehicles marketed as a crossover vehicle and as such was one of the first to find less-than-stellar sales. While the last vehicle was more of a tall station wagon, the new SRX is a smaller, more athletic looking vehicle more directly aimed other luxury vehicles like the Lexus RX, Acura MDX and the BMW X5. The SRX is offered in FWD and AWD models with a choice of V6 powertrains. The standard 3.0L V6 is rated at 260-bhp. An optional turbocharged 2.8L V6 ups the power to 300-bhp.

The SRX enters 2010 as a significantly different vehicle. The new SRX is now a more conventional crossover-SUV vehicle with FWD and AWD drivelines similar to the Lexus RX. A choice of V6 engines power the SRX: the standard 3.0L V6 is rated at 260-bhp, whereas an optional turbocharged 2.8L V6 ups the power to 300-bhp.
