The SRX can comfortably accommodate four 6-foot+ adults due to a roomy second row. Some used SRX models can also be found with the optional two-person fold-flat third-row seat, something that can't be found on competitors like the Lexus RX 330, the BMW X5 or the Infiniti FX35/45.
As a luxury SUV, a used Cadillac SRX comes with a full complement of safety and luxury-oriented features, including leather upholstery, OnStar, 17 inch alloy wheels, a Bose audio system with a CD player, XM satellite radio, rear park assist, dual-zone automatic climate control, full power accessories, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, front side airbags and head curtain airbags for the first two rows.
Used V8 SRX models also come with a 6-disc CD changer, a power front passenger seat, seat heaters, wood trim accents, and power-adjustable pedals. Some V6 models can also be found with at least some of these features as they were all available options.
Both used models can also be found with other optional features such as a panoramic sunroof, a DVD-based navigation system, GM's Magnetic Ride Control (automatically adjusts suspension settings depending on conditions), the third-row seat and a DVD rear entertainment system (screen is mounted on the center console).
Other standard safety features on all models include stability control and four-wheel antilock disc brakes (with a panic assist feature). In government crash tests, the Cadillac SRX earned a top five star rating for both front and rear passengers for side-impact protection. In frontal-impacts, the SRX received four stars for driver and front-passenger protection.
Also of note to used Cadillac SRX buyers is the fairly significant interior update for the 2007 model year which made for a more attractive cabin and upgraded some of the interior materials. In addition, 2007 saw the introduction of a 6-speed automatic transmission in the V8 models, replacing the previous 5-speed automatic.
Overall, due to its above-average handling, roominess and attractive design, we believe the Cadillac SRX makes an excellent used luxury SUV choice. And we can suggest two ways to help you save when buying one.
