Does the XT5 have a spare tire?
2 Answers
The XT5 does not come with a spare tire. This vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires across all models, ensuring that even if minor issues occur with the car or tires, it can still be driven to a repair facility. The advantage of run-flat tires is that they allow the car to continue driving normally even without tire pressure. Even if the tire completely loses pressure, the vehicle can maintain a speed of up to 80 km/h and continue driving for approximately 150 km. The XT5 is a luxury SUV under the Cadillac brand, with body dimensions of 4812mm in length, 1903mm in width, and 1680mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2857mm. The Cadillac XT5 features comprehensive active safety warnings and assistance functions, including intelligent active cruise control, front and rear collision warnings, preventive braking systems, lane departure warnings, lane keeping assistance systems, all-around blind-spot radar monitoring systems, and lane change assistance.
Yes, my Cadillac XT5 comes with a spare tire, which is hidden beneath the trunk floor. It's a compact-sized one, slightly smaller than a regular tire, suitable for temporary use with a speed limit of no more than 80 km/h. The salesperson reminded me at the time of purchase to check it regularly because prolonged storage can lead to decreased tire pressure or rubber aging, rendering it useless when needed. I remember the first time I had a flat tire—I just opened the trunk and lifted the plastic cover to easily access it. The XT5's spare tire is designed to be both discreet and space-saving. Some people think modern cars should rely on tire repair kits for convenience, but I still prefer having a spare tire—just swap it in when you get a flat and you're good to go, saving time waiting for roadside assistance. Also, remember to check the tire pressure every six months to ensure its reliability in emergencies.
