After releasing a teaser video of the new Cadillac SRX playing in the snow, General Motors has officially taken the wraps off of the new Caddy crossover which will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show in a few weeks. While the outgoing SRX was based on the CTS's platform, the 2010 SRX uses GM's Theta groundwork (also found on the new Chevrolet Equinox) to create an a more attractive MPV for the Cadillac brand. This means that while the outgoing SRX was available in rear-wheel drive (with optional all-wheel drive), the new vehicle will be offered in front-drive for the base model with AWD available. Additionally, the Cadillac designers have carried over with their "Art and Science" theme, making the new SRX doubly more attractive than the outgoing model.
The SRX can be had with a choice of two powerplants: a direct-injection 3.0-liter V-6 which produces 260 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, or a turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 which pumps out producing 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Both are mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmission and, as mentioned before, can be had with front- or all-wheel-drive configurations.
All of this, combined with a rather attractive interior, should make the SRX a rather worthy competitor for vehicles like the Acura RDX and Infiniti EX35. We'll have live shots for you when the SRX officially debuts on the Cobo Hall floor.
