2015 Cadillac SRX

General Motor’s luxury brand, Cadillac, entered into the crossover utility market with the introduction of the 2004 SRX model. The Cadillac SRX was created as a direct competitor with Mercedes-Benz M Class, the Lexus RX, and the BMW X5, and features seating for up to five passengers.

The SRX is rounding out its second generation with its 2015 model year, which offers the same standard of luxury Cadillac drivers have come to expect.

While 2015 Cadillac SRX did not receive any major redesigns, it did gain a new list of standard and available features. Those who choose to purchase a new 2015 Cadillac SRX have the option of four different trim levels, with each one having its own list of standard luxury features. The SRX Luxury Collection sits just above the Base model, and offers premium amenities for a great price.

One thing that sets the 2015 SRX apart from the competition, is its unique storage solutions that are built into the cabin and cargo space of the crossover. Drivers have multiple storage options when it comes to hauling large items, or storing small ones. 

A New Set of Standards for 2015

The 2015 Cadillac SRX may not be completely redesigned, but it has gained important technological features. One of the more notable features is OnStar with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

This impressive technology comes standard on all four trim levels, and features a built-in wireless hotspot, that can accommodate up to seven mobile devices at one time. Regardless of where the road takes you, you and your passengers will stay connected on the go. 

To further aid in connectivity on the go, Cadillac offers its Cadillac CUE information and media control system, as standard technology on all four trim levels. CUE allows drivers to connect to their smartphone or tablet, via an 8-inch color touchscreen, safely while driving. 

Its uncluttered design features natural voice recognition, and a responsive touch-screen technology. CUE is an easy to use technology, that is more advanced than anything else on the road today.

Check out different ways that the CUE sets itself apart from other in-vehicle infotainment systems:

• Proximity Sensing: This industry-first technology displays information in a clean, organized fashion. Icons that are not in use fade into the background while driving, and appear again when your hand approaches the screen.

• Haptic Feedback: Another industry-first, the CUE gives drivers a tactile pulse, or vibration, through the screen when a touch-screen button is pushed. Drivers can confidently keep their eyes on the road, knowing that their task was completed.

• Natural Voice Recognition: Easily control your navigation, phone, or music, with this industry-first advanced technology. The CUE system does not come with a booklet of commands, but rather allows drivers to communicate in a conversational tone, making CUE easier to interact with, and more responsive.

The 2015 SRX features incredibly advanced, in-vehicle technology, that comes standard on all trim levels. Cadillac is certainly raising the bar with its SRX crossover.
