Cadillac SRX

Cadillac's big wagon gets an extensive reworking for 2010 with new engines, enhanced all-wheel drive and chassis.

Drivetrain: V-6 power in normally aspirated and turbocharged versions carry the day.

-The SRX's bold styling becomes even more refined, while a redesigned interior and unique rear cargo management system add to its appeal and versatility.

The SRX wagon is more car-like than a truck-based sport ute, which makes perfect sense since it's built on a car-based chassis.

However, the SRX provides optional seating for up to seven people and a choice of a 3.0-litre V-6 that makes 265 horsepower, or optional 2.8-L turbocharged V-6 delivering 300 h.p.

You can also choose between front-and all-wheel drive, no matter the engine.

Two six-speed automatic transmissions direct power to the front or all wheels, depending on the engine.

Among the SRX's many standard features is a power liftgate, 17-inch wheels (18-inchers optional), side-impact airbags and stability control to keep you pointed in the right direction and shiny side up.

One of the biggest sunroofs in the industry is optional.

A sport package for all-wheel-drive SRXs includes a V-series (the name that's attached to Cadillac's performance models) mesh grille, 20-inch wheels and electronically controlled limited-slip differential.
