Cadillac drops first images of all-new XT5

It was the first time in 15 years authorities have allowed cargo shipments in the airspace above Manhattan. It succeeds the current SRX, Cadillac’s best-selling model worldwide. Additional details on the new Cadillac XT5 will probably be announced at the Dubai automotive event, in a couple of months.

The XT5 was revealed as part of an announcement regarding Cadillac’s new partnership with Public School New York, which-contrary to its name-is a fashion company. “For Cadillac, it gives new meaning to being a patron of the arts”. Designers Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow are making an XT5-inspired “Pre-Fall” capsule collection to show then, which will coincide with the Dubai Auto Show.

In addition to releasing three official photos of the vehicle, Cadillac tweeted and shared a set of photos of the XT5 on its Facebook page, showing the crossover in a metallic gunmetal colour.

The dramatically redesigned XT5 will replace the aging SRX for the 2017 model year.

Cadillac has taken the wraps off of the 2017 XT5, the replacement for their popular two-row SRX crossover and their next attack on the luxury auto leaders.

The XT5 is the first Cadillac SUV to receive the new naming convention for crossovers, which will begin with XT (for Crossover Touring), followed by a number to indicate its size in the lineup.

Guests drank champagne and ate tiny hamburgers.
