![]() Yes, all-wheel drive capability is great, specially in our Canadian Winter driving conditions, but many families or outdoorsy singles like spacious SUVs because they're an extension of their busy and multifunctional lives. One chooses an SUV mostly because of changing priorities and because they need space. The rearview mirror was also useful for seeing surprised Q5's and Lexus RX's vanish on the horizon once the XT5 blasted past them, but more on that later. This proved to be extremely useful since poor rear visibility was further hampered by our large amount of luggage. The rearview mirror can quickly morph into an HD video camera which feeds super-crisp video of what's behind you. The HUD also flashes red (and triggers a vibration on your seat) when you're too close to the car in front of you, or if you're drifting lanes. This also gives you quick information that you're well behind cars or that you're free to swithc lanes. There's a Head's Up Display (HUD) which projects your velocity up on the windscreen, so you can keep your eyes on the road. There's suede, lush black leather, metal tips on the buttons just where your fingers are likely to touch them, and a stylish interplay of carbon fiber-like materials, aluminum trim and soft leather.īeyond the luxury, which is resplendent and feels and smells like the inside of a Coach purse, Cadillac's use of technology is similarly thoughtful. The XT5 Platinum's interiors are a sensory feast. The armrest has a dock for smartphones as well as two USB ports. Our drive from Toronto to Montreal took roughly six and a half with two stops and I arrived feeling refreshed, no pain. My lower back and legs usually get destroyed during drives that are over three hours. The XT5's cockpit is supremely well appointed and the driver's seat is likely the best one I've ever sat in, since it offers the delicate balance of support and comfort. The XT5 is balanced, not too muscular yet not insanely angular. I picked up a stunning Crystal White Tricoat Platinum model, which seems to be a shimmering white at first glance but which has a pearlescent sheen when the light hits it. I was wondering if this mid-sized SUV would fit my specific requirements, which was to haul three adults, one child, and all our necessities (plus space for some shopping on the way back). I recently took the 2017 Cadillac XT5 Platinum to a Easter family trip to Montreal.
