“I'm pretty confident in the cost of ownership and the use of the vehicle matches the price. It's a very comfortable, confident drive. Although I wish there was less wear and tear that shows up, it's reasonably easy to have this model's known issues identified and repaired.”
2014 Cadillac SRX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Cadillac SRX is a lightly changed carryover after the larger 2013 refresh. The main change is a lineup-wide move from flexible-fuel to gasoline versions, while the Premium Collection also gains automatic high-beam control.
About the 2014 Cadillac SRX
2nd generation SRX (2010-2016), year after the 2013 refresh.
Cadillac positions the SRX as a bold-looking luxury crossover for daily driving, family duty, and highway travel rather than hard-core performance or off-road use. Its main appeal is sharp styling, a standard V6 instead of a smaller base engine, a quiet cabin, flexible cargo space, and a tech-heavy dashboard centered around the touchscreen infotainment system. Against rivals, Cadillac sells it as the crossover that feels more dramatic and more distinctly styled without giving up comfort and practicality.
The base SRX combines a 308-hp V6 with an 8-inch touchscreen and Bose audio, while the Luxury Collection adds leather, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Performance brings 20-inch wheels, adaptive headlights, and navigation; Premium focuses on comfort and driver assistance with ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and collision and lane-departure alerts.
