About the 2026 Cadillac XT5

The 2026 Cadillac XT5 feels right-sized for most daily driving tasks. It sits at 189.6 inches long, making it maneuverable in city parking lots, but still delivers plenty of space inside with 30 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats. That's great for weekend trips or serious grocery runs. Most versions stick with a fuel-efficient 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine putting out 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, aiming for a respectable 24 MPG combined. If you prioritize performance, the Sport trim swaps that for a 3.6L V6. With five trims available, ranging from the $44,300 Luxury to the top-tier models around $62,100, the 2026 Cadillac XT5 offers flexibility for buyers wanting premium comfort in a practical luxury crossover package.

Key Highlights

With 30 cubic feet dedicated to cargo, the 2026 Cadillac XT5 easily swallows larger luggage or sporting gear for weekend adventures.

Nine-Speed Automatic

Spacious Front Seats

Front occupants get excellent space, noted by 41.2 inches of leg room, ensuring long road trips are comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

V6 Performance Option

Those needing extra passing power can opt for the Sport trim, which features a 3.6L V6 engine paired with the 9-speed automatic.
