The Cadillac SRX 2011 has been a great favorite since it was spruced up by General Motors last year. It quickly became the best seller in the developing market for compact luxury crossovers. What attracts vehicle buyers to this SUV is its unmistakable and compelling Cadillac flair as well as its numerous available gadgets and equipments.
This year, Chevrolet came true to form again with its 2011 Cadillac SRX, a compact luxury crossover service utility vehicle (SUV) that is available in six trim levels; Turbo Premium, Turbo Performance, Premium, Performance, Luxury and Base. It comes with a standard 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers 265 horsepower and 223 lb ft of torque. Turbo performance and Turbo Premium are powered by a turbocharged 2.8 –liter V6 engine that delivers 300 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque.
The 2011 Cadillac SRX is equipped with a 6-speed transmission with a front-wheel drive but an All- wheel Drive is optional for all trim levels except the Base. This compact crossover attains a very respectable fuel economy of 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway or a combined 21 mpg for the front-wheel drive and 17 mpg city, 23 mpg highway or 19 mpg combined for the All – wheel drive.
The 2011 Cadillac SRX attained a perfect five stars in the government crash test in front collision testing for driver and side protection and got a four star for front collision passenger protection while the Insurance Industry classified the 2011 Cadillac SRX as the “Top Safety Pick” since it has gained the highest scores in side, front roof and rear strength tests.
