2010 Cadillac SRX 2.8L Turbo Review
Posted on11. May, 2010 by admin.
The 2010 Cadillac SRX 2.8L Turbo is a drastic improvement over it’s predecessors, in fact would some would even say it looks like a completely different car. The new 2010 Cadillac SRX 2.8L Turbo is shorter in stature, shorter in length, and overall it looks a lot less like a wagon and more like a stylish SUV coupe. However, it should be noted that drive-wise the car does not favor an SUV because Cadillac has removed the CTS-based, rear-drive platform, third row seating, and of course the 4.6 liter Northstar V-8.
Instead of being like the rest of the SUV coupes on the market, the 2010 SRX is a purebred crossover vehicle, competing heavily with the Lexus RX 350. Many believe that Cadillac has outdone Lexus this year, offering a 2-row, 5 passenger SUV with all wheel drive. In comparison to other mid-sized SUVs it is not the fastest on the market.
With 300 horsepower it appears to be a formidable opponent for any mid-sized SUV, however due to it’s weight it takes about 7.6 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour from a stand still. This makes the SRX a surprisingly slow mid-sized SUV despite it’s Cadillac heritage. However, safety-wise the vehicles thrives due to it’s premium braking abilities and 5-star safety designs. While the 2010 Cadillac SRX 2.8L Turbo is not the fastest mid-sized SUV, it does bring in about 20 miles per gallon gas mileage, which is definitely a plus.
