Cadillac is cluing consumers into some of the best new technology that goes into the 2012 Cadillac SRX crossover, Cadillac’s answer to the luxury small SUV that will go on sale this month. One of the biggest changes for this vehicle is the addition of a specialized air intake and exhaust system that’s likely to improve the feel for those behind the wheel. Tweaks to the 3.6 liter V6 engine resulted in over 300 horsepower and additional torque, enhancing acceleration and power for the road. Cadillac engineers jumbo-sized pipes and enhanced the muffler for a responsive, high-performance vehicle that’s destined to turn heads in 2012. Cadillac staffers say the changes will also lessen the burden on the automatic transmission in the 2012 SRX, while helping drivers to feel more in control when contemplating quick merges or duking it out in the passing lane.
Lest you think that the new engine changes will make this a high decibel SUV, executives point out that acoustic and sound proofing materials added to key areas of the SRX will ensure that more power doesn’t mean more noise. The way enthusiastic top staffers at the company describe it, the 2012 SRX is the best of both worlds: power and fuel efficiency, performance and a quiet ride. Others are also praising the design of the SRX for this model year, although in a more qualified way: Car and Driver cites the overall engine improvements, along with standard features like Bluetooth and competitive suspension systems, rating the SRX high on their list of crossovers for 2012, but still maintains the SRX is only part of the way toward what C&D writers consider optimal design.
Check this vehicle out for yourself as it hits the North American market in September. Motortrend records a base price of $36,000 for this vehicle, but be sure to check on how any current manufacturer offers, from cash back to financing incentives, affect your final transaction price before and after extras like taxes, tag and title fees. Also be sure to check the lowest interest rates available from various lenders to get the best deals on the newly designed Cadillac SRX.
