The original Cadillac SRX was one of the first wagon-like vehicles to be marketed as a crossover vehicle. The second generation model introduced in 2010 is a smaller and more athletic vehicle. While the original had three rows of seats the current SRX is strictly a five passenger vehicle. In terms of size, the SRX is very similar to the Lexus RX. The SRX is longer and wider on the outside, but slightly smaller on the inside. A 3.6 l V6 engine is standard on both FWD and AWD models. Priced from $36,000, buyers must choose at least the Luxury package to equip leather seats which pushes the price over $40,000.

A more powerful 3.6l V6 becomes the standard engine for 2012. The smaller displacement 2.8l turbocharged V6 and 3.0l V6 are dropped.
