Looking Forward to 2020 | 2019 Cadillac XT5 Platinum AWD Review

[@-Munditimum-]

Clear and concise review, including a beautiful level of video production. Keep up the good work, you're headed to the top.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I really appreciate that, thank you! I'm always trying to improve our episodes!

[@-Munditimum-]

@@PRNTestDrive You're doing great. You have my support.

Your commentating On Vehicles Are just Great...!

[@PRNTestDrive]

I really appreciate that you think so, thanks!

[@10tenman10]

Wow. Nice looking vehicle.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I'm looking forward to see what the 2020 has to offer now, slightly different front end look, but I'm definitely digging this setup with paint/taillights/rims.

[@normt5463]

The GM Twin Clutch AWD is amojng.the best and able to send 100% to a single wheel. It is really good stuff and no Lexus RX provides and AWD that can do the same....at any price

[@PRNTestDrive]

It also helps a lot with fuel economy as we'll see next Thursday with our Showdown!

[@몬트-e8q]

OMG Not fully loaded trim but still over $70,000... Will consider when I win the Lottery~^^;

[@PRNTestDrive]

The one main thing missing on this is the rear seat entertainment package, and cosmetic things like the dark ice trim or floor mats. You'll have to wait till next Thursday to see how it compares with the Lincoln Nautilus!

Why don’t you get a higher end trim Jeep Grand Cherokee like summit or overland trims and compare to this Caddy or the Lincoln ?

[@PRNTestDrive]

A friend of ours just bought a 2019 Grand Cherokee SRT. It’s quick, it has all the features, it’s also all hard plastic. Jeep is a consumer brand with luxury prices without the luxury to back it up.

I just want a new Escalade but they are taking their sweet time updating the SUVs. I want an SUV without an offset steering wheel

[@normt5463]

Supposed a big powered V8 in the new Escalade too!

[@PRNTestDrive]

I'm always looking forward to the Escalade, I've got the 2019 booked in about a week, and since the 2018 we did more than a year and a half ago is still one of our most watched episodes every month I'm hoping others will be interested in it too! Next gen should be good if GM really invests in the platform and doesn't half-ass it.

[@james2042]

@@PRNTestDrive I mean it shares a platform with the silverado/sierra, and with how much they fixed in the new trucks functionally (style is subjective), I think they are really gonna put ford back in their place of being second in the fullsize SUV market. Independent rear suspension is confirmed and we may see the 4.0L v8 tt under the hood which would just laugh at the navigator in terms of power and torque. Although I'm curious how that engine would hold up with the weight of the vehicle + towing capability

[@telliesmith9825]

That's nice not 92gs nice but nice I would get same look different package so cheaper they start at around 45-50 if I'm not mistaken

[@PRNTestDrive]

$92k in converted currency? This one is about the same MSRP we featured last year, but drop the rim option and it's just over $70,000 CAD, right in line with the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus we drove.

[@telliesmith9825]

@@PRNTestDrive Oh I miss understood thanks for clearing it up

[@paulm6481]

The exterior looks good. But I just get a Lexus RS and call it a day. The Lexus will last for ever and you get a dealer service that treats you like a king or queen.

[@normt5463]

Nice about our 2013 and 2014 Cadillacs that after the free oil changes and tire rotations we have never been back to the expensive dealership.

[@PRNTestDrive]

We still need to book some Lexus models, I think they only have the NX on the fleet right now.
