Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Cadillac XT5 is among the most versatile luxury crossovers on today's market. Many drivers love this vehicle's upscale styling, lush interior, and powerful performance. When shopping for a new XT5, some people will be deciding between the Luxury and Sport trim levels. Let's take a look at how these two trim levels compare.
Performance
The XT5 Luxury is a great choice for everyday commuting. Under the hood sits a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers a satisfying 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Like the rest of the lineup, it uses a nine-speed automatic transmission. While front-wheel drive comes standard, you can opt for all-wheel drive.
Motivating the performance-oriented Sport trim is a robust V6 engine. It's rated to develop 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Expect acceleration to be especially strong. Twin Clutch Sport Control all-wheel drive comes standard. To further enhance the SUV's handling capabilities, Cadillac installs a sports-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers and upgraded Brembo brakes. Equipped with a heavy-duty cooling system, the Sport trim's standard Smart Towing package also enables you to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Appearance
The XT5 Luxury's refined exterior appearance is bound to catch your eye. Its signature LED lighting and sculpted lines make a powerful statement. A stylish set of 18-inch alloy wheels comes standard. There are also multiple exterior colors available, including Radiant Red Tintcoat and Stellar Black Metallic.
Larger 20-inch alloy wheels with red brake calipers give the XT5 Sport a seriously aggressive stance. Gloss black roof rails further differentiate the Sport trim.
Features
Even the entry-level Luxury trim offers pure comfort. It offers desirable amenities such as dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats. Technology lovers can enjoy the vehicle's user-friendly infotainment system, which features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto® smartphone integration. Another highlight is the Luxury trim's eight-speaker Bose audio system. Confidence-inspiring safety innovations, such as Forward Collision Alert and Lane Keep Assist, are also included.
The leather-appointed Sport trim has some notable upgrades. While a panoramic sunroof lets passengers enjoy expansive views on the road, a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system delivers your music with even more power. Other highlights include navigation, a hands-free liftgate, and tri-zone automatic climate control.
