What engine does the Cadillac SRX use?
2 Answers
Cadillac SRX uses: 3.0L naturally aspirated engine, 3.6L naturally aspirated engine, and 4.6L naturally aspirated engine. The Cadillac SRX is a mid-size SUV under the Cadillac brand. Taking the 2015 Cadillac SRX as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4851mm, width 1910mm, height 1663mm, wheelbase 2807mm, fuel tank capacity 80L, and luggage compartment capacity 827L. The Cadillac SRX uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear, with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
I've been driving a Cadillac SRX for five years, which comes with two V6 gasoline engines from GM: a 3.0-liter and a 3.6-liter. My 2013 model has the 3.6L engine, code-named LFX. It performs exceptionally well on highways, delivering immediate power when you step on the throttle for overtaking. However, the fuel consumption in the city is indeed on the higher side, reaching up to 14 liters per 100 km in summer with the air conditioning on. Once, the engine warning light came on, and the mechanic diagnosed it as carbon buildup in the direct injection system's fuel injectors. Regular use of fuel system cleaner improved the situation significantly. Actually, this engine shares its roots with early models of the Escalade—it's robust, no doubt, but the technology isn't the newest. If you experience engine vibration, check the engine mounts first; they're a common issue with the SRX.
