New 2024 Cadillac XT5 in Thornhill, ON

It’s hard to think how the 2024 Cadillac XT5 could be easier to configure if you want to place an order for one. There are three trim levels, two drivetrains, two powerplants, and one transmission. Unlike the XT5’s smaller sibling in the current Cadillac lineup, there’s no sharing top-billing in the 2024 XT5 lineup.

The first of the trio of trim levels is the 2024 XT5 Luxury, which is a standard front-wheel-drive model with the option of an all-wheel-drive. The mid-range model is the Premium Luxury, and the top-of-the-range model is the XT5 Sport. The Premium Luxury and Sport models offer similar specifications, apart from the powertrain. The Sport gets the most powerful engine and uprated brakes, suspension, and AWD systems as part of its standard specification. And if you want to make your XT5 Sport even more stylish, Blue Accent, Bronze Accent, and Red Accent appearance packages have been introduced for the 2024 model year.

Don’t be put off by the “compact” tag of the 2024 Cadillac XT5. The interior is fabulously spacious for a compact offering, and of course, there’s all the comfort and luxury available you’d associate with a Cadillac. There’s plenty of space in the front and rear seats for up to five people, and there’s plenty of room behind the rear seats for cargo in the back. The Luxury features Cadillac’s Inteluxe synthetic leather upholstery, but Premium Luxury and Sport trim levels get the real thing.

Standard features across the lineup include heated front seats, HD rear vision camera, front and rear parking assist, dual-zone climate control, a dual diagonal colour driver information centre, and a Bose sound system. The sound system in the entry model is Bose premium 8-speaker setup, but the other two trim levels get a Bose Performance Series 14-speaker audio system. The infotainment system in all models also includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and WiFi hotspot capability.
