Check out the all-new 2010 Chicago Cadillac SRX. With luxury features that fit anyone’s lifestyle, this vehicle is sure to fit your driving needs. Watch the video then give us a call at Patrick Cadillac for a test drive!

And though Cadillac won’t start building these new guys until December 2011, the new model should be pretty impressive. It will be the largest four-door sedan created by Cadillac, with many already referring to it as a “stretched ultra-luxury vehicle”. I think XTS was a better choice for the name, though.

Though not too much has been revealed about this mystery Cadillac, the ranks which it will join have already been announced. The upcoming lineup for Cadillac is looking pretty solid, and the XTS may just be the cherry on top.

Already expected soon at area Cadillac Chicago dealers are the CTS Wagon and SRX Crossover. The CTS Coupe should be arriving sometime next summer, and if the XTS sedan can arrive by 2012, Cadillac will have its perfect mix of ultimate luxury, driving amusement and practical function.

The new XTS model is also predicted to compete directly with brands like Merdeces-Benz (S-Class), Lexus (LS), BMW (7 series) and Audi (A8). It is also predicted, along with the rest of the future Cadillac lineup, to help boost Cadillac’s position within the market, a key for GM’s future success. By replacing the slow-selling DTS, the new XTS will surely help Cadillac sell more and create a stronger customer base.

So whether you  have been waiting years for this news or if this is the first you have heard of the Cadillac XTS, I am sure it comes as a welcome announcement. There will obviously be more information on the new XTS as the release gets closer, and any Cadillac dealer in Chicago will have more information as time goes on as well. But for now, just relax and know that Cadillac has got it under control moving forward.

The new 2010 Cadillac SRX is everything a crossover should be, and then some. For those of you who have been waiting for quite some time now for its release, now is your time. This summer you will be able to visit your local Cadillac SRX Chicago dealership to test drive one, as the SRX is set to be released mid-summer.

As a crossover, many drivers (including myself) would expect the new SRX to act more SUV-ish than it really does. Rather, smartly-designed crossover offers the best of both worlds. It rides high, with the stance of an SUV, has the driving capabilities of a car, and features all the luxury you would expect from a Cadillac. So whether you are an SUV devotee or a member of team-car, this year’s model of the SRX will satisfy your driving desires as well as your people- and cargo-space needs.

Equipped with a V6 engine, this 5-passenger crossover has retained all of its Cadillac class and has brought its own modern, bolder attitude to the family. The new SRX has more aggressive lines but still manages to keep the elegance of its predecessors. Cadillac’s attention to the details is, as always, impeccable. With illuminated logos on the doors, a fast design and a pop-up navigation system, it is plain to tell that every part of the 2010 SRX has been well-planned and meticulously crafted.

Thanks to an all-new AWD system, the 2010 SRX will not only look beautiful, it will drive beautifully as well, no matter the road conditions. This new system allows even amounts of torque to be delivered to the back and front tires, creating the best possible handling and grip on the road. It also enhances the safety on this vehicle, by making driving in icy, rainy, or snowy conditions easier to handle.

Not only is this new SRX as luxurious and functional as ever, according to Cadillac SRX Chicago dealers, it’s also as affordable as ever. In the midst of a recession, Cadillac has decided to reward its buyers and drop the price $7,000 dollars from the 2009 model. And through all the troubles GM has been facing, this could be a model priced to help get them back on track.

So keep checking in with your Cadillac dealer in Chicago, because these sleek rides should be popping up any day now, and they are not something to miss.

The all-new 2010 Cadillac SRX

I really fell in love with the design of the Cadillac Provoq concept when I blogged about it recently.  I wondered why the company had not applied the very design-forward body to a vehicle currently on the market.  Now my questions are answered.  The 2010 Cadillac SRX Crossover takes on almost all of the design of the Provoq concept. This really qualifies as a total overhaul of the SRX model.  The main design difference between the SRX and the Provoq is the grille, which is more traditional in concept and in line with recent Cadillac design language than the Provoq grille that was designed to open and close according to cooling needs.

I find the design very robust in looks while keeping the look of a tight, organized profile.  In the end, this gives a new look to car shoppers in the crossover segment.  The lines moving along the sides of the body help the visual concept and lead the eye in a natural way to the angular front of the vehicle.  This makes the SRX look very quick and appealing to me.

The inside of this vehicle is clean and sleek.  It sports great angles and a look very much the same as the Provoq’s interior.  The SRX will have a pop-up navigation like the one the Cadillac CTS received and an electronic parking brake activated by a switch on the console.  The brake switch adds a nice amount of room in the footwell for added driving comfort, especially during those long trips that require frequent leg adjusting.  As someone with long legs, I appreciate the gesture.

I can definitely see myself in this updated version of the SRX.  It has a much cooler stance and a more-directed artistic ambiance.  Cadillac is going for an artistry in this model that embodies “layers of texture,” which they exemplified by making the Cadillac crest logo on the grille three dimensional.  The layer effect overall gives the SRX that coveted illusion of jumping out from road.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX will provide a choice of two V6 engines. The new base engine is a 3.0L version with direct injection, which comes in at 260 horsepower. Buyers looking for greater muscle will opt for the 2.8L V6 with a turbocharger, granting 300 horsepower.

Patrick Cadillac will have a 2010 Cadillac SRX Chicago inventory this summer, when  I will inevitibly beg them to let me drive one.
