cadillac srx crossover for leasesrx crossover The Cadillac SRX has undergone a complete overhaul last year, giving it a much more dynamic style. Grace has his choice of V6 engines, the Cadillac SRX is intended as a rival of choice among luxury crossover SUV. The completely redesigned SRX interior presents a new dashboard while five passengers can comfortably settle. The SRX enjoys one of the longest wheelbases in its class, which gives it a driving quality and a dynamic stability. When Cadillac engineers had created the first version of the SRX in 2004, they had bases on the platform of the CTS sedan. The result was convincing thanks to strong lines well drawn and roadholding FUTURE. Unfortunately, reliability unedifying, especially the beginning, had thrown a shower of cold water on sales of crossover.
Recently, we conducted an SRX AWD acquire a 3.0-liter V6. Our vehicle, all covered with red, often attracts attention, always in a positive way. Except maybe once, or your humble servant has come to park in a handicapped space. I quickly realized that Quebec wishes to our disabled! "Eille, the big Caddy, j'we not your sticker! "If only this outburst of civic overspread has other areas ... A passenger has the endorsement The exterior lines are beautiful and can be said of the dashboard. Sharp edges are reminiscent of the body and the whole is very pretty. Besides the flashing green light which is scattered by two pieces of clear plastic (the genius to some and the ultimate in cheesy for others!), No accessories, no order or material door to criticism. The seats are comfortable but the front doors are very heavy. And like their hinges possess little restraint, it happened to me more than once when I wanted to leave the vehicle while he was on an uphill slope, to receive in the front door after you have opened too quickly. My mouth will then become a bottomless well of words banned by the corporation. The rear seats are more or less comfortable because of their hardness. The space for the legs and the head is OK, nothing more but it is the poor quality of finishing that disappoint. As if the designers had decided to put all their efforts PRELIMINARY! For a vehicle of more than $ 53 000 FRONT transportation costs, it is reasonable to expect a little more respect towards the rear passengers. We found there is no call for heat, driving the rear wiper was too audible, the storage bin located in the rear of the console was out of adjustment and the rear of the front seat back was covered with a hard plastic to me seems pretty "cheap" thank you. In its new form, the SRX offers only five seats, while its predecessor offered in September but as the saying goes Serbo-Uganda "is better than a good five seats seven bad." The visibility to the rear is not great but find me a car of this category do not suffer from this defect ... The trunk possesses a tailgate that opens at two different heights, an issue to please all natural. It succeeded! The records of the seat lowered to enlarge safe already generated. On the floor of said box found the rails "at the Audi" very useful. The cargo cover is standard (thank you) and its manipulation is easy despite its heaviness. It is the "job"! The SRX features two engine. Top of the list, there is a V6 2.8-liter turbocharged 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Our vehicle had opposed the 3.0 liter V6, also available on the Chevrolet Equinox. But here he developed a horse and a pound-feet more torque (!) For a total of 265 and 223 respectively. The latter can be described as "bomb" but it should satisfy most users. An acceleration from zero to one hundred km / h is in 9.7 seconds while the 80-120 km / h 8.1 seconds application. Unfortunately, the sound of the V6 under full throttle is a bit stifled by many soundproofing material. The good side of it is that the cabin is very quiet. Like most American drivers, he just regular gasoline, disregarding the prestige of the logo that carries. Some Japanese manufacturers should take some instruction ... The V6 is mated to a six-speed automatic, often a little slow to change gears. But it is a bit faster in manual mode. Unfortunately, we do not find the paddles behind the steering wheel. It allows the engine to only run at 1800 rpm is 100 km / h and 2400 to 120 km / h. In Sport mode, the revolutions rise to 2500 and 3000 rpm respectively, which gives a little pep in exit of corners or when overtaking. During our weekly test, we avredge (a term recognized in my Townships region for decades) 11.7 litres/100 km / h, which is very good considering we are dealing with a vehicle of nearly 2000 kilos. But this is not as well as 10.7 (combined) promised by Cadillac. It must be said that our SRX possessed wheel drive. Version traction (front wheel drive) would have saved at least one liter every one hundred kilometers, but the integral adds to the security and the resale value, which is expected to recover the $ 3 000 pennies and invested when buying. On the road, it quickly becomes evident when dealing with an SUV (or crossover, if you like to call it. It is no longer any differences, crossover being now used for pretty much everything that rolls !). The handling is amazing, thank you to the huge and beautiful 20-inch wheels that will require a second mortgage when the time comes to replace them. The direction is adequate at best, for an SUV-crossover and roll when cornering is well controlled. In fact, the handling is much more limited by the very ordinary lateral support seats before the mechanics! Grows into a corner, the car turns-in shortly before the various electronic systems for traction and lateral stability are involved with fingers. When passing through some bumps, the front suspension heels a bit but, in general, is proof of competence, both to preserve the comfort to keep in touch with the road. The brakes are powerful but an emergency stop highlights an ABS system whose sound recalls a Chevrolet Cavalier 1998, especially the end of braking. But this does not affect the quality of work the brakes. In emergency situations, we do not care a lot of noise! Our version, we have seen, was equipped with the 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with 265 horsepower, which is very little these days, especially for a car with a shield as prestigious as that of Cadillac. Given that the 2.8-liter V6 turbo consumes a little more and that its performance is more substantial, try this version is recommended before affixing his signature to a contract. More broadly, the SRX is known for its lines to the razor, by his dash well finished and very aesthetic and its road manners honest. By cons, gaps finish, especially the rear, betray budgets, probably small, made to the department of research and development. The SRX is a great car but I think it lacks a little more tweaking to worthily represent the heritage of Cadillac. This does not preclude the Acura MDX, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class should look different than before ... |
