The 2012 Cadillac SRX is a luxury compact SUV that stands out for its sophisticated styling and technology-rich cabin. For this model year, Cadillac replaced the previous year's lackluster V6 with a more spirited 3.6-liter V6 that produces 308 horsepower. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available for more challenging weather conditions. The SRX comes in four trim levels: Base, Luxury, Performance, and Premium. All trims offer a refined ride, while the Performance and Premium trims add sporty flair with a sport-tuned suspension. Notable features include an easy-to-use infotainment system with an 8-inch display, a Bose stereo system, Bluetooth, and an optional navigation system. Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, stability control, front-impact airbags, and overhead airbags.
