Infotainment

On the 8-inch multi-color screen on the dashboard, you can take charge of the Cadillac User Experience, an infotainment system that includes navigation to guide you to your destination with turn-by-turn directions. Its natural Voice Recognition technology lets you speak your commands or you can dial your desires using the Rotary Infotainment Controller with jog functionality. Wireless connections to your smartphone let you make phone calls or access your contact list while you’re still on the road.

You’ll enjoy the three-month All Access trial of SiriusXM® Radio to listen to commercial-free music, live pro sports, and exclusive celebrity talk. You can also envelope yourself in the music from 14 speakers of the available Bose® Performance Series surround sound system. With Amazon Alexa, you can use your voice to play music, command smart home devices, and do more. A built-in Wi-Fi® hotspot lets you hook up to the Internet and when your device needs powering up, you can lay it on the wireless charging pad.

    Safety

    The 2021 Cadillac XT5 looks out for you and your passengers by constantly monitoring the road and informing you of any potential issues. Among its driver-assist are the following:
    • Forward Collision Alert tells you if you're about to hit the vehicle in front of you and can also deliver a tailgating alert if you're following that vehicle to closely.
    • Front Pedestrian Braking can detect people walking in front of you and engage hard emergency braking to prevent an accident.
    • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning tells you if you're drifting across the highway and you have not engaged the turn signal. It can provide gentle steering wheel nudges to keep you in line.
    • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert shows an indicator on the appropriate side-view mirror when a vehicle is approaching your blind zone from that side.
    • Night Vision shows pedestrians or large animals via their heat signatures when they appear beyond the range of your headlamps.
    • Automatic Parking Assist with Braking can look for parallel or perpendicular parking spots and steer your vehicle into them while using limited braking. It also tells you when to shift gears and when you may need to override it to take control.
    • A High Definition Rear Vision Camera shows the view behind you to make backing out of a parking spot safer.
    • The Rear Seat Reminder prompts you to look in the back seat for kids, pets, or belongings when you leave the vehicle.

    You can feel the direction of a warning rather than just hear about it through the bottom vibrations of the Safety Alert Seat. If your young drivers want to solo behind the wheel, you can keep an eye on them using Teen Driver Technology, which automatically turns on safety assists and limits speed, volume, and other features. You can then check how they did on their trips by examining an in-vehicle report card.

      Performance

      Active Fuel Management and the Electronic Precision Shift nine-speed automatic transmission help to increase efficiency in the 3.6L V6, which generates 310 hp and 271 lb.-ft. of torque, and the 2.0L Turbo, which produced 235 hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.

      Although Front-Wheel Drive is standard, you can take advantage of All-Wheel Drive to grip the road when you’re faced with slippery conditions or inclement weather. Define your drive using options like Touring, Sport, or Snow/Ice of the Driver Mode Selection. Chassis Damping Control modifies the suspension to current road conditions every two milliseconds.

        Convenience

        The technology to make your drive more comfortable and convenient starts with the power-adjustable eight-way driver and six-way front-passenger seats with lumbar function. You can store your favorite settings in memory. When you want more light and air to flood into the cabin, power-open the UltraView sunroof.

        To ensure that you feel comfortable year-round, Tri-Zone Climate Control lets you, your front passenger, and rear passengers set separate temperature controls. The front seats and steering wheel have built-in heating and ventilation while the rear outboard seats are also available with heating. When you have the key fob on you, you can load the rear by kicking under the bumper to open the Hands-Free Power Liftgate.
