SRX Luxury upgrades to leather upholstery, wood trim, seat heaters for the front seat, an eight-way power passenger seat, a sunroof, a power sunshade, Park Assist, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, remote starting, power liftgate, and other features. SRX comes standard with leatherette upholstery (vinyl), dual-zone air conditioning, cruise control, multi-function tilt steering wheel, power windows, mirrors and locks, 18-inch aluminum wheels, AM/FM/CD with auxiliary plug, iPod compatibility, and four speakers. All-wheel drive comes on SRX Luxury AWD ($39,405), SRX Performance AWD ($44,995), and SRX Premium AWD ($47,540). It also tames the handling on dry roads, and we recommend getting it. It makes the SRX highly capable in the winter or on unpaved roads or when encountering a slippery corner. The available Haldex II all-wheel-drive system is excellent, among the world's best. The 3.0-liter V6 gets an EPA-rated 18/25 mpg with front-wheel drive. We found the engine lacking in power and on the loud side. We preferred the responsiveness of the 20-inch wheels and tires over the standard 18-inch setup. The new SRX feels like a high-riding CTS sports sedan. Underway, the handling and braking are very good. Though loaded with features, everything is easy to use and the SRX is very quiet underway. We found the luxurious new SRX cabin beautiful and comfortable. In the fall, Cadillac will add an optional 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine sourced from Saab, an engine rated at 300 horsepower and 295 foot-pounds of torque, with a completely different Aisin-Warner six-speed automatic transmission capable of handling the higher power and torque of the turbo engine. All models come standard with front-wheel drive. Initially, all SRX models will be powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine, the same engine that powers the Cadillac CTS, and will come with a Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac counts as the SRX's direct competitors the Acura MDX, Lexus RX 350, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Audi Q5, and BMW X3. The Cadillac puts the SRX in the midsize luxury sport utility vehicle segment, one of the largest and fastest-growing segments in the industry at about 25 percent of the total sales. The interior shares much of its technology and some of its design with the 2010 Cadillac CTS sedan, which we count as a good thing. The exterior design is all new, crisper and sharper than the original, with a lot less of the slab-sided look. And, although GM has been known for its global platform-sharing way of doing things, this vehicle shares its underpinnings with only one other vehicle, the Saab 9-4X, which has not been introduced yet. Where the old SRX was a three-row, seven-seat SUV, the new one has two rows and five seats. Whereas the original SRX used a rear-wheel-drive platform with a longitudinal engine and a choice of V6 or V8, the new version is built on a front-wheel-drive platform with a transverse-mounted V6 engine.

There's nothing left of the original SRX but the name. The 2010 Cadillac SRX is all-new for the 2010 model year.
