The 2010 Cadillac SRX offers two engines -- a base 3.0-liter V6 that makes 265 horsepower and an optional 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 that makes 300 horsepower. Since both are now direct-injection engines, fuel economy and power have increased from the 2009 model. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Some reviewers say the base engine can be sluggish because of its low torque output. They recommend the turbocharged V6. However, that engine is available for AWD Performance and Premium trims only -- which means it adds a whopping $15,000 to the SRX’s base price. Make sure you really need that extra power before spending the money.
According to the EPA, the front-wheel-drive base model achieves 18/25 mpg city/highway, while the all-wheel-drive model achieves 17/23 mpg. The EPA does not have ratings for the turbocharged engine, but Cadillac estimates it will also be rated at 17/23 mpg. The SRX’s base rating is one of the best in its class. But if you want better fuel economy, consider a midsize SUV like the Lexus RX Hybrid. It has a best-in-class 32/28 mpg rating. However, it costs $9,000 more than the SRX, so even the fuel savings may not save you money in the long run.
the 2010 Cadillac SRX shines for its especially smooth and powerful performance. It boasts a more car-like ride and better fuel economy than before. Test drivers like the fun driving experience, even going so far as to say it's good enough to compete with the Lexus RX 350.
