Midsize crossovers such as the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 give the more powerful SRX a run for its money, but we'd take the Cadillac any day over the best-selling Lexus RX. A rear U-well rail system uses adjustable sliding bars to keep gear in place, rather than using nets or boxes that rattle. An optional Pet Guard Cargo Net behind the front seats can help keep your dog in back and may help prevent cargo from flying up front in hard braking. Smart cargo solutions appeal to practical senses. Inside, the SRX continues to impress with upscale materials and thoughtful design. To combat the ticking noise characteristic of direct-injection systems, Cadillac engineers packed on added sound-proofing material in strategic places for 2012, which helps to keep the cabin quiet.įuel economy for the 2013 Cadillac SRX is an EPA-rated 17/24 mpg City/Highway with front-wheel drive, 16/23 mpg with all-wheel drive models.Īll-wheel drive is available for all but the base model.

Otherwise, the SRX carries over essentially unchanged following a significant update for 2012. The front fascia of the 2013 SRX has been mildly refreshed.

More active-safety features are available for 2013, such as automatic collision preparation and automatic low-speed braking, both when going forward and when in reverse. With the Driver Awareness package, the driver's seat will vibrate to warn the driver of an impending collision. New safety packages, already found on the XTS and ATS sedans, also debut on the 2013 SRX. But a few idiosyncrasies and a glossy screen that shows fingerprints easily makes CUE far from perfect. Its natural voice recognition, when it works properly, is a refreshing change from some systems that require the user to memorize specific commands. CUE has received mixed reviews from experts and consumers. Unlike many luxury vehicles with proprietary interfaces (like the BMW iDrive and Mercedes Benz's COMAND system), there is no central control knob on the center console and all functions are performed either through voice or via the touchscreen.

An acronym for Cadillac User Experience, the large screen uses proximity sensors, haptic feedback and voice recognition to control phone, audio and navigation functions. The 2013 Cadillac SRX gets a revised interior that incorporates Cadillac's CUE touchscreen interface. One of the top-selling luxury crossovers in the U.S., the Cadillac SRX boasts unique styling, luxurious cabin appointments, a powerful engine, and a ride that's smooth and able.
