Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Cadillac XT5 stands out as a highly versatile luxury crossover in the current market. This vehicle is frequently chosen for its sophisticated styling, premium interior, and capable performance. When exploring the new XT5 lineup, many drivers find themselves comparing the Luxury and Sport trim levels. Here is a look at how these two versions of the SUV differ.
Performance
The XT5 Luxury is engineered for smooth daily travel. It is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard across the entire range. While the Luxury trim comes with front-wheel drive, an all-wheel drive system is available as an option.
The Sport trim is designed with higher output in mind, featuring a 3.6-liter V6 engine. This powerplant generates 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Twin Clutch Sport Control all-wheel drive is a standard feature on this model. To support its performance characteristics, Cadillac equips the Sport trim with a sports-tuned suspension, adaptive dampers, and Brembo front brakes. Additionally, the standard Smart Towing package on the Sport trim includes a heavy-duty cooling system, allowing for a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.
Appearance
The XT5 Luxury features a refined exterior design characterized by signature LED lighting and sculpted body lines. It comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels. Drivers can choose from several paint options, such as Stellar Black Metallic and Radiant Red Tintcoat.
The XT5 Sport adopts a more aggressive look with larger 20-inch alloy wheels and red-painted brake calipers. It also features gloss black roof rails, which help distinguish it from the Luxury trim.
Features
The entry-level Luxury trim is well-equipped for comfort, offering dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats. The cabin features an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® integration. For audio, the Luxury trim includes an eight-speaker Bose system. Standard safety technologies include Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision Alert.
The Sport trim features leather-appointed seating and several premium upgrades. A panoramic sunroof is included to create an open-cabin feel, while the 14-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system delivers an enhanced listening experience. Other standard amenities on the Sport trim include a hands-free liftgate, navigation, and tri-zone automatic climate control.
