Slightly refreshed last year, the Cadillac XT5 enters the 2021 model year with no significant changes or improvements. The base model is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, but the more interesting option is a 3.6-litre V6 that delivers 310 horsepower along with 271 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is available with the former and standard with the latter. All XT5 models use a nine-speed automatic transmission.
