Cadillac’s model lineup is about to expand with the addition of two exciting new models: the 2010 Cadillac SRX crossover and 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon. Now Cadillac announced that the 2010 SRX Crossover is to go on sale next month, price starting from $34,155.
Production of the 2010 SRX crossover will be handled in Mexico at GM's Ramos Arizpe plant. The 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, meanwhile, will go on sale in late this summer but did not release pricing.
Cadillac has decided to offer the 2010 SRX with a single engine option, in this case a 3.0L direct-injected V6 with 260hp (193kW) and 221lb-ft (300Nm) of torque on tap. Its makers say fuel economy in the mid-20s on the highway is expected, but testing isn’t complete. A six-speed Hyrdra-Matic 6T70 automatic transmission also gets revised ratios to help cut fuel usage, while a standard AWD system improves handling in both dry and inclement weather.
“The 2010 SRX will deliver excellent, balanced driving dynamics
in all types of weather,” said Bob Reuter, global vehicle chief engineer. “The all-wheel-drive system with electronic limited slip effectively transfers torque not only from front to rear, but also along the rear axle. This system sets a new benchmark for all all-wheel-drive systems, giving the driver control and confidence on any road surface.”
Standard safety equipment includes a range of front, side and curtain airbags plus dual pre-tensioners and load limiters on the front seat belts. A rollover mitigation sensor ties into the traction control system to kelp keep the shiny side up, and trailer stability assist helps keep the cart from getting before the horse.
The midsize luxury crossover segment remains strong in the U.S. despite new vehicle sales reaching 30-year lows. The segment currently accounts for nearly one quarter of all luxury vehicles sold in the U.S. market. The Cadillac believes that the new SRX presents an attractive offer to consumers, while taking on the traditional segment leader aggressively. Key competitors include the Lexus RX, Acura MDX, and BWW X3 and X5 SUVs.
