Cadillac's 2008 SRX is available in two basic flavors: V8 and V6. Both engines offer variable valve timing and can be mated to an optional all-wheel-drive system. Even the base V6, which uses GM's excellent 255-horsepower "high feature" 3.6L engine can be driven quickly, which is more rewarding than you would expect. Cadillac has really spent some time sorting out the suspension tuning of both SRX models, and it shows. Upgrade to the Northstar 4.6L V8, and horsepower increases to 320.

Choose the optional Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension, and handling goes from very good to outstanding, as this SUV feels tight and responsive around turns, giving it a cornering feel on par with Infiniti's FX or the BMW X5. Still, the highway ride remains smooth and comfortable,... see more

Choose the optional Magnetic Ride Control adaptive suspension, and handling goes from very good to outstanding, as this SUV feels tight and responsive around turns, giving it a cornering feel on par with Infiniti's FX or the BMW X5. Still, the highway ride remains smooth and comfortable, which is how most SUV buyers prefer it. The feel and responsiveness of the steering and brakes impress as well.

Just about every convenience feature you can imagine is available on the SRX, including sport packages with 18-inch or 20-inch wheels and tires, premium seating, a theater package which includes a rear seat DVD player (now a de rigueur offering in SUVs), high intensity discharge headlamps, an "Ultraview" panoramic sunroof, and more.

Overall, the 2007 Cadillac SRX is a very well-rounded package, and should remain a top choice for those wanting a bit more on-road excitement from their SUV.
The big news for the 2007 Cadillac SRX is its upgraded interior. The instrument panel, door trim, and dash are now covered in hand crafted, French stitched leather instead of plastic. This allowed Cadillac to hide the air bags by punching tiny perforations into the back side of the leather instead of leaving a visible plastic seam.

Along with the new leather bits, the SRX is now bestowed with a deeper colored wood trim, called Sapele, which lends a richer overall look to the inside of the vehicle. Also new are navigation and HVAC systems with simpler controls. A Bose audio system becomes standard on every model, while a 5.1 channel Bose surround sound system is available as an option. Cadillac also now offers up its optional sport package by including 20-inch alloy wheels (instead of 18-inchers) and more aggressive front and rear fascias. V8 models get GM's six-speed automatic. see less

This crisply styled mid-size crossover sport-utility vehicle is built off the same platform as the rear-drive CTS and STS sports sedans. For 2007, the SRX gets an updated interior, new Sport Package with 20-inch wheels and limited-slip axle, Bose 5.1 Digital Surround sound option (base models get upgraded to a newly standard Bose system) and new six-speed automatic transmission on models equipped with the optional 4.6-liter, 320-horsepower Northstar V-8 engine. A 3.6 liter, 260 horsepower V-6 is the standard engine in SRX -- teamed with a five-speed automatic. SRX is available in either rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive formats. GM's StabiliTrak electronic stability system comes standard; Magnetic Ride Control is optional. The SRX's interior can hold as many as seven passengers with the optional power-folding third-row seat. A navigation system is standard on the V-8 version and is optional with the V-6. The Sport Package includes front and rear sport fascias, new body-colored grille with V-Series-style mesh backing, 4-inch dual polished exhaust tips, the six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift control and optional 20-inch Sport wheels with high-performance tires. The airbag system in the SRX has been upgraded with weight-and-size sensing Passenger Side Inflatable Restraint (PSIR) suppression; this feature uses sensors to detect the occupant's size and enable or disable the air bag automatically. OnStar-equipped models also get turn-by-turn navigation assistance.
