2023 Cadillac XT5 Premium Luxury Review

The Cadillac XT5 remains mostly unchanged as the sibling between the smaller XT4 and larger XT6. It boasts a steep price considering it hasn't been updated much lately and is certainly due for some upgrades when looking towards the competition. Still, it offers a comfortable ride, refined driving experience, comfortable seats, and a fair amount of features, just not as much pizzaz as other brands right now.

I just released my Buick envision on Tuesday. Lease was up, the car has 16000 miles, garage kept. It actually had a accumulated 10, 000 dollars more than my residual. So it paid for my down payment (almost) on my new XT5. I priced a new envision but the payment worked out to be almost a hundred more than the Cadillac. You know which way I went. Love that Caddy.

I purchased a 2022 XT5 last year. LOVE the car !! So comfortable to drive and kicks when you give it the pedal....Not disappointed at all. !!

I love my 2023 XT5 Premium Luxury. The safety features are necessary with the crazy urban drivers. I have the Technology package with the V6. I wish I could get better gas mileage but only have 3300 miles on it. Nice review. This is my 2nd XT5. I had loved my 2010 SRX.

I would buy this. Liking the smaller center screen. A lot of cars are getting carried away with their screen size. It seems like this is just a comfortable luxury SUV and not trying to be a BMW X5 or something like that. Quite a few for sale in the used market where I live. Great review as always Nolan.

I bought a 2017 Black on Black Premium Luxury for $17, 500
Even at 100, 000 miles still kicks ass. LOVE it

I just got the 2024 version of this. It looks exactly the same.
Very nice straightforward review. I must say I’m very pleased with it. It looks great and it’s definitely a solid car. I have the optional engine as well, and I find that it really picks up speed, much quicker than the standard.

This cars are a good value when purchased after 3 year lease return as a certified vehicle. Let someone else pay the lease on a 68k sticker and purchase with 30k miles for 39k.

Just picked up that car yesterday. I got 2 day old love. So far sooo good.

It's your review to this car I've been waiting 😢 Thanks for always Detailed review car tour 🙏🏻

Hey Nolan Thank You for the Unbiased Through Review! 😂 That double MPH Reading is Freaky

[sgrant]

What is with the dual digital speedo on the dash binnacle? What is the purpose? HUD, analog speedo and two digital speedos? Seems excessive.

[paulbernard]

GOOD ENOUGH ?? NO, not for $68, 000. bought my wife an XT5, 2019 one year ago. Had 16, 000 miles on it for $39M. It is the one up from the bottom (The Delux) and it is very nice. Has most of what this car has, a very nice car. I just can't see $68M

Is the cab quiet?

Test drove a XT4 the cabin was very loud going down the freeway 😮

Great review Nolan as always 😊

Thanks

This Cadillac always scream I’m retired

[allthingsyellow]

How do you tell when you're running out of.gas??? I see no E or F on the dashboard.

[sugarandspice]

I would get that with black rims and black grill. 😁

Front cup holders: No rubber bellows (allow for different sized drink containers to fit and not wobble) in the front, but present in the rear cup holders? Ironically, 4 years ago (other YouTube reviews) the front cup holders have the rubber bellows to hold you drink container steady. Why did Cadillac (and others) remove these????

The XT5 shares the same platform with the CUV’s offered by Chevy, Buick, and GMC. It’s an underwhelming vehicle and you’re probably better off driving a well optioned GMC or Buick. I don’t see 68K for the XT5 given the amount of switchgear that’s used from the GM parts bin - and it definitely shows in the interior, and you can certainly get a better product from the Germans and Asians for a lot less money.

70k hell no not that stylish better off getting an infiniti
