2010 Cadillac SRX Crossover Priced from $34,155

Cadillac has revealed that it's all-new and more compact sized 2010 SRX Crossover will hit U.S. dealerships this summer with pricing starting from $34,155, which is about the same as the entry-level RWD Mercedes GLK 350 ($33,900) but undercuts the BMW X3 xDrive30i by around $5,000. The 2010 SRX will be offered in North America with two petrol units, a new 260HP 3.0-liter direct injected V6 and a 300HP 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 that are both matted to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The SRX gets front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive as optional.

Latter in the summer, the compact crossover will be joined by another new Cadillac, the CTS Sport Wagon. GM has yet to announcing pricing but expect it the Sport Wagon to be priced a little higher than the sedan variant of the CTS. The new Sport Wagon includes the same 260HP 3.0-liter Direct Injection engine that serves as the standard engine in the new SRX, returning an estimated highway fuel economy of 28 mpg.

Cadillac SRX Crossover Sedan by Mahoning Redefines Elegance...

We believe that there are some things in this world that were never meant to be and one of those is transforming a Cadillac SRX into a sedan. It's not only that a SRX Crossover Sedan is completely useless (what's the point of reducing the SRX's practicality?), but more importantly, from a stylistic point of view, the result is even more repulsive than a SsangYong Musso with a boot.

Mahoning Automotive Design doesn't see it this way as the American firm states that its concept, which made its worldwide debut at the 2009 Cleveland Auto Show, "defines an exciting new type of passenger car: comfort, space, visibility, all-season capability and amazing utility, all wrapped in classic, elegant style with impressive road presence."

Well, we'll let you check out the photos below and be the judge of that yourselves...

Cadillac Recalls MY'04 SRX Crossovers over Transmission Problem

A minor glitch with the automatic transmission is the cause for the recall of 17,301 MY2004 Cadillac SRX crossovers. NHSTA reports that an unknown number of these vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift lever can be moved from the "park" position with the ignition "on" and without the operator depressing the brake pedal or, in some cases, the shifter can be moved from the "park" position with the ignition turned off. This of course could lead to a serious problem if the vehicle is parked or parked on a slope. -Continued

Cadillac's dealers will replace the pawl stopper and a bushing within the shifter assembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during December 2008 but if you want more information, you may contact Cadillac at 1-800-982-2339.

2010 Cadillac SRX SUV – First Official Photos

Cadillac has released the first official images of the next generation SRX that is in essence the production version of the Provoq Concept that appeared at the CES show in Las Vegas last January. According to GM, the all-new SRX will make its debut at major global auto shows later this year (quite possibly at the Paris Show in October and the LA Show in November), with sales set to start worldwide in mid-2009. With an overall length of about 4,580 mm or 180.3 in, the five-seater SRX is about roughly the same size as the BMW X3 SUV meaning that its far more compact (and lighter) than the outgoing seven-seat SRX. -Continued

“The next-generation SRX, along with the new CTS Sport Wagon, showcases Cadillac taking its dramatic design into new directions, particularly cars and crossovers that are the right size at the right time for today’s luxury consumers,” said Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager.

Cadillac hasn’t released any mechanical details yet, but expect to see the CTS’ 3.6-liter V6 gasoline units along with a 2.9-liter V6 turbo diesel engine (for Europe). The new SRX, which was initially referred to as the Cadillac BRX, will also form the base for the upcoming Saab 9-4X SUV.
