TThe Cadillac SRX is a luxury crossover SUV based
on the company's rear wheel drive Sigma automobile
platform. The SRX was introduced in the 2004 model
year. Engine options include the 4.6 L 320hp Northstar
V8 and 260hp High-Feature V6. It comes with a 5-speed
automatic transmission, and all-wheel-drive is optional.
An
all-leather interior and curtain side airbags
are standard in both models. Heated front seats
and wood interior trim are standard in the V8
and available as options in the V6. DVD, sunroof,
navigation system, and a foldable third-row seat
are all available options. The base price is US$36,990
for the V6 and US$44,990 for the V8. The
SRX won Car and Driver's Five Best Trucks "luxury
SUV" award for 2004, 2005 and 2006 and was
nominated for the North American Truck of the
Year award for 2004. As
of 2006, there will be no V-Series SRX-V, and
the vehicle will not be replaced before 2008,
though the interior will be upgraded with more
luxurious materials and trim for the 2007 model
year. A Sport model, also launched for 2007, will
be an appearance package with larger wheels and
less chrome.
