Distinctive design and craftsmanship
"Cadillac is known for bold design. The SRX Crossover 2011 builds on that reputation," said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. "As with the 2008 CTS, we have made our art and science of design to create a crossover to the style-conscious consumers. The exterior features a dramatic gesture of diving in the body part to give the feel movement, even at rest. "

An integrated spoiler on the rear edge of the roof extends its clean lines and improves aerodynamics.
An integrated center stack houses the climate controls and audio system, navigation system will increase the center of the dashboard. The example signature attention to detail of the SRX is the Cadillac Script logos front door threshold plates that illuminate when the doors are open.

The Cadillac SRX is powered by a new, fuel-efficient direct-injection V6 3.0 liter that delivers an estimated 260 hp (193 kW) and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Direct injection allows more power, better fuel economy and emissions, which will offset a smaller package. As a result, the new V6 SRX is expected to increase by 5 bhp standard output, while achieving an estimated 10 percent-Q5-improved fuel economy.
Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission saves fuel by reducing engine rpm at a steady highway speeds, when the manual control lever allows better interaction between the driver, if desired. New Cadillac SRX includes a driver-selectable "Eco" mode, which changes the transmission shift points to maximize fuel economy.
"The 2011 SRX provide an excellent and well-balanced driving dynamics in all types of weather," said Bob Reuter, global vehicle chief engineer. "All-wheel drive with electronic traction control to transfer torque effectively, not only from front to back, but also along the rear axle. This system sets a new benchmark for all-wheel drive systems, that lets the driver control and safety in all road conditions. "
