2019 Cadillac XT5 Changes, Price

It looks like the 2019 Cadillac XT5 will continue without bigger changes. The attractive mid-size crossover is considered as quite fresh since it came two years ago. If we consider Cadillac’s policy, it is pretty much for sure that there will not be some bigger surprises for the third year of production. We are about to see a familiar design, with the pretty much same exterior and interior looks.

On the other side, we could see some smaller updates in terms of equipment. Each trim level should get some new standard feature. On the other side, the powertrain will definitely remain the same. You have a choice between proven V6 and more advanced and efficient turbo inline-four. So, if you are looking for some well-equipped SUV, with plenty of interior space and great performances, 2019 XT5 could be a good choice for you. It will come late in the year.
