Cadillac SRX (07-08) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
The SRX is a large 4x4 vehicle that's designed to be comfortable and easy to drive on-road, rather than a hardcore off roader. Its main strengths are that it comes with seven seats as standard (although the extra row doesn't offer that much room), comes well equipped and is distinctively styled. It was designed and is built in the US but unfortunately falls short of the interior refinement and driving sophistication that you'd expect in a car with this price tag. It's a rare site in UK roads, due in part to its sheer size, making it a good choice if you want to stand out, but there are far better alternatives available for similar money.

Buying used

A small dealer network and limited sales mean that finding a used SRX could be your first problem. The best stock will be at Cadillac dealers, but expect to pay a premium for these. There are a small number of left-hand drive SRXs on the market, registered between 2005 and 2007, but don't be tempted to pay over-the-odds for these. They're worth considerably less than the equivalent right-hand drive cars available from March 2007.

Selling

Although Cadillac is a world-famous name, only those in the know can actually name the model line-up in the UK. That means that the SRX could be overlooked by buyers simply because they don't know what it is. But in its favour the car is distinctive and very well equipped.
