The Cadillac XT5 is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. The 2.0 refers to the engine's displacement of 2.0 liters, inline indicates the cylinder arrangement, 4-cylinder means the engine has a total of 4 cylinders, and turbocharged is a type of engine. The Cadillac XT5 is a luxury SUV from the Cadillac brand, featuring a four-door, five-seat configuration. Its body dimensions are 4812mm in length, 1903mm in width, and 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2857mm and a trunk capacity of 584 liters. The Cadillac XT5 continues Cadillac's design philosophy of 'Art and Science,' offering a more spacious and comfortable interior through its short front and long body design. It also incorporates sporty dynamic streamline design and a steeply raked windshield.
I've been driving the Cadillac XT5, and its engine is quite powerful—a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. This engine is commonly referred to as the LSY, delivering a maximum horsepower of around 230 and torque of approximately 350 Nm. It features variable valve timing and direct fuel injection, which enhances fuel efficiency, with an average city fuel consumption of about 9 liters per 100 km. The engine starts smoothly without hesitation, responds quickly for highway overtaking, and shows almost no turbo lag. Overall, maintenance costs are reasonable, making it suitable for daily family use, and it's highly reliable—I’ve driven it for over three years without major issues. However, there’s some noise during cold starts in winter, but it quiets down after warming up, not affecting the driving experience. Paired with a nine-speed transmission, the ride is smooth and quiet.
