“This car handles great and is comfortable. Love the turning radius and special light features like when turning, and the exterior lighting. Sound system is excellent, boosted by the reduction in exterior noises. The V6 is quite the best engine.”
2024 Cadillac XT5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important 2024 change is that the XT5 Premium Luxury gets standard 20-inch wheels. Overall, this is a light trim-equipment update rather than a redesign.
About the 2024 Cadillac XT5
1st generation XT5 (introduced for 2017 in the U.S.; refreshed for 2020), late-cycle 2024 model year.
Cadillac positions the XT5 as a stylish, comfortable two-row luxury SUV that focuses more on quiet everyday comfort, useful cargo space, and approachable technology than on aggressive performance. It is the brand’s mainstream five-passenger luxury crossover: roomy enough for family use, upscale in look and feel, and offered with either an efficient turbo four or a stronger V6 for shoppers who want more power.
The Luxury trim is the straightforward XT5, with a turbo four-cylinder engine, an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bose audio. Premium Luxury adds leather, navigation, wireless phone charging, and a 14-speaker Bose system. Sport is the more athletic version, pairing a V6 with all-wheel drive, a firmer performance suspension, and Brembo front brakes.

“Make sure you get quality floor mats. Cadillac removed floor snaps which earlier models had used to prevent slippage of the mat when exiting the car. The carpet pile is lower to save cost but doesn't do an adequate job retaining the mat.”
“I love the car. I am very happy with it. I only wish after washing it that water would not drip from the mirrors, rear window, and the license plate!!”
