What's the difference between the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6?

As one of the premier new Cadillac dealers serving shoppers from Egg Harbor to Ocean City and all points in between, we can safely say that Cadillac has produced many iconic models over the years, but perhaps its most enduringly popular options are the luxury SUVs in its lineup. From their stately sense of style to the plush and finely crafted interiors these models offer, our new Cadillac SUV lineup is brimming with attractive options for drivers throughout the greater Atlantic City area. But which new Cadillac SUV is best for your needs and lifestyle? Well, we can help you explore that with our competitive comparison between the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6.

Design

Design is perhaps the most noticeable difference between these two models. Both boasts signature Cadillac brand hallmarks like the iconic Cadillac crest, crisp and confident body character lines, and a bold and broad front grille, but there are also some key distinctions between the two.

The CADILLAC XT5 is a compact luxury SUV and the new CADILLAC XT6 is a midsize luxury SUV. That means that the CADILLAC XT5 is markedly shorter from end to end than the CADILLAC XT6, with an overall difference of a little over eight and a half inches. There's also a difference of about three inches in height between the two models.

As a result, the new CADILLAC XT6 has a more noticeable road presence, but don't mistake that for a point against the CADILLAC XT5. With a smaller wheelbase and smaller curbside footprint, the CADILLAC XT5 great for Ocean City drivers who frequently have to parallel park in smaller streetside spaces, especially during the summer months when shore traffic is in full swing.

Performance

Take a look under the hood of both the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6 and you'll find remarkably similar equipment. Both models come standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, producing up to 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Coupled with a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive, this engine has more than enough power for day-to-day driving in nearby Absecon, NJ.

Of course, if you want an SUV with a bit more pep for taking on the Atlantic City Expressway, you can always opt for the available 3.6-liter V6 engine. With up to 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, this engine makes both the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6 feel considerably brawnier. That said, it's worth noting that with its smaller stature, the new CADILLAC XT5 gets moving a bit quicker than the larger CADILLAC XT6, even though both sport the same engine powertrain configurations.

Interior

Another key differentiator between the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6 is found inside the cabin. As a compact luxury SUV, the new CADILLAC XT5 has space for up to five passengers, making it more than roomy enough for most small families from nearby Vineland. However, if you've got a larger family and need room for up to seven, you'll want to go for the midsize CADILLAC XT6, which offers space for up to seven passengers in its three-row interior. But whether you opt for the five-passenger CADILLAC XT5 or seven-passenger CADILLAC XT6, you'll find that both offer well-crafted cabins with luxe amenities, premium trim, and plenty of insulation to keep out errant road noises.

Technology

One of the best things about choosing between the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6 is that regardless of which you choose, you'll have plenty of tech amenities to enhance your daily drives. Both models come standard with essential connectivity technologies like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to stay connected and make hands-free calls safely while you're on the Garden State Parkway in nearby Egg Harbor, NJ.

Additionally, if you explore further into the equipment lists of the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6, you'll find that tech only enhances the driving experience further with features like onboard navigation, Wi-Fi connectivity, a 14-speaker Bose Premium Sound system, and much more.

Safety

If you've ever driven in heavy traffic here in Atlantic City, you know just how imperative it is to have a car you feel confident and safe in. Happily, you can feel secure in both the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6. With the Cadillac Smart System available on both models, you'll have a comprehensive network of safety features protecting you wherever you go. Whether it's the Front Pedestrian Braking System that'll aid you in busy areas around the boardwalk in Ocean City or the HD Rear Vision Camera that'll help you avoid backing into your mailbox as you pull out of your driveway in nearby Absecon, NJ, both the new CADILLAC XT5 and CADILLAC XT6 are well-equipped to keep you feeling safe and confident throughout your travels here in New Jersey and beyond.
