“The body style is perfect, not too big or small. I am a small woman (5 ft) and some cars have a big body that makes it hard to park, or be in tight situations with. I also like the pedals that move so that I don't have to hug the steering wheel.”
2016 Cadillac SRX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2016 Cadillac SRX is a true carryover with no major changes from 2015. Its most important distinction is that this was the SRX's final model year before the Cadillac XT5 replaced it for 2017.
About the 2016 Cadillac SRX
2nd generation SRX (2010-2016), final year before the XT5 replacement.
Cadillac presents the SRX as a stylish two-row luxury crossover that blends bold looks with a roomy, flexible cabin, strong safety fundamentals, and everyday usefulness. The brochure leans heavily on space, safety, and style, while reviewers note that a standard V6 and generous feature content help it stand out from many rivals. For most shoppers, the SRX is about comfort, upscale trim, and practical family duty more than outright sportiness or off-road capability.
The 2016 SRX keeps a four-trim lineup, from the premium basics of the Standard trim to the fully equipped Premium Collection. Luxury adds useful comforts such as leather-trimmed heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and parking assistance, while Performance emphasizes navigation, upgraded Bose audio, adaptive headlights, and 20-inch wheels. Premium adds cooled front seats, heated rear seats, three-zone climate control, and driver alerts for possible forward collisions and lane departures.

Which 2016 Cadillac SRX trim has the most safety-alert features?
The Premium Collection has the fullest standard safety-alert package. It includes forward collision alert, lane departure warning, a vibrating Safety Alert Seat, and automatic high beams; blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are also part of its equipment.
Is the 2016 Cadillac SRX meaningfully different from the 2015 model?
