New Cadillac XT5 vs. the Luxury SUV Competition
Cadillac XT5 vs. Lexus RX, Audi Q5 & Volvo XC60
Whether you're loading groceries in Newtown Square or you're taking your crew to a concert in Wilmington, DE, the new Cadillac XT5 is the mid-size luxury SUV that makes every errand and journey effortless. But how does the new Cadillac CT5 compare to other mid-size luxury SUVs with two rows of seats? Here at Hill Cadillac, we help your family make a well-informed decision when buying a new SUV. Compare the new Cadillac XT5 to the luxury SUV competition, including the Lexus RX, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60.

Cadillac XT5 vs. Lexus RX
- Cargo Space & Legroom: Work with more reconfigurable space in the Cadillac XT5 as you shop in Newtown Square or load up for a trip. While each SUV has 30 cubic feet of storage, the Cadillac XT5 has 17 additional cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. The max cargo volume of 63 cubic feet in the Cadillac XT5 tops the Lexus RX at 46 cubic feet. Both SUVs have 41 inches of legroom, but the back row of the Cadillac XT5 - better suited for school drop-offs in Chesterbrook, PA - has an extra two inches of legroom with a figure of 39 inches.
- Performance: The Lexus RX has a turbocharged inline-4 engine rated for 275 horsepower, but it can't match the power provided by the Cadillac XT5 with its optional 310-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine.
- Features: Automatic Parking Assist with ultrasonic sensors can help your Cadillac XT5 glide into a detected parking space at your West Chester, PA destination. Advanced Park is an available add-on for the Lexus RX to assist with parallel and perpendicular parking spaces, but there are no ultrasonic sensors.
Cadillac XT5 vs. Audi Q5
- Cargo Space & Legroom: In addition to an extra inch of back-row legroom, the Cadillac XT5 has more storage space and a higher total cargo capacity. The figures of 30 and 63 cubic feet in the Cadillac XT5 top respective figures of 26 and 54 cubic feet in the Audi Q5.
- Performance: Base models for the Audi Q5 output 201 horsepower, and the more robust turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that's optional only jumps to 261 horsepower. Cadillac XT5 SUVs have a higher output of 235 standard horsepower through a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Plus, when you buy an XT5 from your Newtown Square Cadillac dealer, you can get an exclusive V6 engine packing 49 additional horsepower.
- Features: Tri-Zone Climate Control in the Cadillac XT5 counters the three-zone automatic climate control system in the Audi Q5, which is missing an air purifying feature. On the way to Wilmington, DE, the Cadillac XT5 has an Air Ionizer working to filter cabin air and remove dust, pollen, allergens, and bacteria.


Cadillac XT5 vs. Volvo XC60
- Cargo Space & Legroom: Ready to leave Wayne, PA for the weekend in your new Cadillac XT5? You won't have to pack light, thanks to 63 cubic feet of max cargo volume. That matches the Volvo XC60, which has less load compartment space at 22 cubic feet. As you pick up groceries from the Chesterbrook, PA supermarket with your Cadillac XT5, you have more room, with 30 cubic feet of storage. New Cadillac XT5 SUVs have an extra inch of legroom for back-row passengers.
- Performance: Despite being a mild hybrid SUV, Volvo XC60 SUVs are less fuel-efficient, with fuel economy ratings of 22/28/25 (city/highway/combined) miles per gallon. Drive down I-476 and I-95 from Wayne, PA to Wilmington, DE in your Cadillac XT5 and earn 30 miles per gallon. New Cadillac XT5 SUVs have higher fuel economy ratings of 22/30/26 mpg. The B5 powertrain for the Volvo XC60 outputs 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, but there's no V6 engine. The Cadillac XT5 is a superior performer when featuring the 3.6-liter V6 engine that's rated for 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque.
- Features: As you head home to West Chester, PA in your Cadillac XT5, an Air Ionizer filters cabin air, and Tri-Zone Climate Control provides climate settings for both rows. There's only a two-zone climate system for the Volvo XC60, and its air purifier doesn't come until the Plus trim.
Pricing: Cadillac XT5 vs. the Competition
