New 2026 Cadillac XT5 in Thornhill, ON
Trim levels
The 2026 Cadillac XT5 lineup starts with the Luxury trim, then moves to Premium Luxury and Sport trims. Luxury models feature Cadillac's signature vertical LED lighting, bright exterior trim, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Premium Luxury trims add additional chrome exterior accents and more upscale exterior finishes that strengthen the Cadillac XT5's traditional luxury appearance. Sport trims move in a different direction with darker exterior treatments, unique grille styling, and more aggressive lower fascia details. Available 20-inch alloy wheels give the Cadillac XT5 considerable presence without making it appear oversized or heavy. Sharp body lines, slim lighting, and dual exhaust outlets help the Cadillac XT5 look considerably more expensive than many rival compact luxury SUVs.
Performance
The standard Cadillac XT5 engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 235 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Sport trims feature a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V-6 delivering 310 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines pair with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged engine delivers strong low-speed response during urban driving, while the V-6 provides smoother highway passing power and stronger acceleration at higher speeds. Fuel economy starts from 10.9 L/100 km in the city and 8.2 L/100 km on the highway with the turbocharged engine. Cadillac's Driver Mode Selector allows drivers to adjust steering, traction, and throttle responses for changing road conditions. Sport trims also feature a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system and continuously variable damping control that sharpen handling responses while maintaining the Cadillac XT5's comfortable ride quality.
