Cadillac's XT5 Allegedly to Feature Autonomous Driving Technology Until 2027
Cadillac XT5 to Undergo Refresh and Launch New Generation in 2027
The Cadillac XT5, a popular SUV in the Cadillac lineup, is set for an exciting transformation. First launched in 2016 as a replacement for the Cadillac SRX, the XT5 will receive a refresh in 2027, with a 2028 model year release.
The manufacturer has confirmed that the next-generation XT5 will be a "next-generation gas-powered vehicle." However, specific engine details and output figures have yet to be confirmed. For now, we know that the current and 2026 XT5 models are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing approximately 233–235 horsepower and about 258 lb-ft of torque.
Fuel efficiency is another area of interest, with the existing 2.0L turbo engine achieving around 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Exact efficiency figures for the next-generation model have not yet been released.
While hybrid powertrain options may appear later, the initial next-gen XT5 for North America will be gasoline powered. The company has suggested that more precise engine output and fuel efficiency data will become available closer to the 2027 launch.
The current version of the Cadillac XT5, built and sold in the U.S., will continue production until at least the end of 2026, possibly into 2027. The XT5 is one of the first General Motors SUVs built on the C1XX platform, which also includes the Chevrolet Blazer.
Interestingly, the second-generation XT5 in China has been in production since 2024, built on the VSS-S platform. The Chinese version of the Cadillac XT5 is also built on the same platform as the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Terrain, Chevrolet Equinox (ICE) and Traverse.
The XT5 is a global vehicle for Cadillac, offered in China and other markets. It's worth noting that the XT5 is currently Cadillac's top-selling model globally, with a 26.4% year-over-year increase.
The U.S. model of the Cadillac XT5 will continue to be produced until 2027, with a refresh expected for the 2028 model year. The new XT5 is expected to launch in the second half of 2027. Stay tuned for more updates as more information becomes available.
