The American touch

Seemingly sculpted from a single block of steel, the Cadillac SRX stands deliberately apart among the world’s luxury cars. The company has made a number of modifications on its engine as the SRX is now powered by a new, fuel efficient, direct-injection 308 HP V6, which is the most powerful engine.
The computer-controlled real-time damping suspension and a torque-vectoring All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system make SRX reassuringly nimble on the road. The glide-up touch-screen with GPS-based navigation system, standard Bose sound system, plus Bluetooth3 and USB connectivity make it more attractive.
There is even a programmable driver information center (DIC) that displays key data in enhanced full-color. With rear seats that fold down to create 60 cubic feet of usable space, there is plenty of room for whatever you bring along. But because it is a Cadillac, even versatile space needs luxurious details.
The handcrafted interior features French stitching, polished chrome accents and available Sapele wood trim. It can accommodate five passengers and there is adequate space to keep their baggage.
SRX is the latest to incorporate Cadillac’s “control and alert” strategy that employs advanced technologies – including radar, cameras and ultrasonic sensors – to help prevent crashes. The safety features are part of Cadillac’s new Driver Awareness and Driver Assist technology packages.
The advanced technologies bolster driver vision and awareness of road hazards, intervening to help the driver avert potential collisions. In some cases, Cadillac’s crash-avoidance systems will act without the driver, such as automatic braking, which activates based on information indicating potential hazards.
Radar-based adaptive cruise control and front and rear automatic braking are available. Front and rear automatic braking relies on short-range radar technology and ultrasonic sensors to help the driver prevent front and rear low-speed collisions via a progression of alerts that extend to complete braking, if necessary.
Additional advanced safety features offered on the 2013 SRX’s Driver Awareness and Driver Assist packages include: Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Vision Camera With Dynamic Guidelines, and Safety Alert Seat.
