Cadillac SRX - the most-selling crossover of this manufacturer both in his homeland, in the USA and in our country. In 2012, it was announced about the upcoming transformation of the model and here last year the new Cadillac SRX was presented in the New York Motor Show. To Russia, the crossover in the new appearance recently recently.
History Cadillac SRX
Cadillac SRX - truly good American crossover
Cadillac SRX appeared on the world ten years ago, in the distant 2004th. Over the next two years, the crossover managed to become one of the best-selling cars of his class and twice was nominated for the title "Car of the Year". In 2009, the light saw the second generation of the popular crossover, which was no less popular than the predecessor.
- Affordable and well-equipped cars. You will find a detailed description in our article.
The second generation was created on the basis of the concept car Provoq, which in turn was built on the basis of the All-wheel drive platform called GM Theta Premium. In the spring of 2012, GM announced the intention to update Cadillac, as a result of which a restyling version of the SRX crossover appeared in a year.
The new Cadillac SRX was transformed both outside and inside. Features of technical equipment deserve a separate article, so we will have to dwell on the main differences in the third generation of the crossover from GM.
SRX Cadillac appearance
Externally, the crossover is also monolithic and aggressive. Faceted slits on a huge falseradiator lattice are now dressed in chrome, in the very center there is a large emblem of the company. The front and rear bumper have become smaller and expressive. Now the compact part of the air intake is banging in front, on the sides of which fog lights are located in chrome edging. The alloy aluminum discs with a diameter of 20 inches transformed.
From the side of Cadillac is highlighted by large radii arches and air intakes on the front wings, which, by the way, now have their backlight. The roof is slightly showing the domestic. Doors have a high window of the windowsill and compact glass. On the bottom, the crossover is covered with black plastic protection. The body also acquired another coloring option - Xenon Blue Metallic.
The image of the crossover is complemented by large vertical headlights with adaptive bixenon and running lights. The front Cadillac SRX looks not just brutal, but assertive, even harshly. The size of the crossover is long equal to 4837 millimeters, the width is 1910 mm, and the height is 1669 mm with 179 mm of the road lumen.
Cadillac salon transformed much stronger. He, as before, is solid and looks very expensive. The central console has entertained, a large multifunctional display with USB ports and an SD format slot appears on the dashboard. The steering wheel acquired heated. Here are the control buttons of the CUE information system, which is installed on the central console. The system allows you to configure the audio system with BOSE acoustics (with eight speakers) or BOSE 5.1 \u200b\u200bby 10 speakers, adjust climate control. Cue is also equipped with navigation and displays a picture from the rear view camera.
At the driver's seat, a person almost any complex will be located with convenience. All adjustments and settings are located at a distance of an elongated hand, everything is arranged ergonomically and conveniently. The steering column can be adjusted in depth and height, you can even adjust the pedal node. The driver's seat has an adjustment of eight directions (with double memory), adjustable by the lumbar support, heated and even ventilation, though only in the most top-end equipment. The heating is optionally available for the second row of seats.
Especially I would like to note the noise insulation of Cadillac. Here are used both modern soundproofing materials and multilayer double-glazed windows. There is a system of structural barriers between the rows of seats that do not come to the cabin noise from under the car.
In the second row of the seats in American, it is convenient and spacious, even threesome can be quite comfortable. If you wish, you can order a panoramic roof with electric drives for the hatch itself and sunscreen. However, this decision is suitable only for real connoisseurs of comfort. There are many options for the interior trim, so choose the color and material "for yourself" will not be difficult.
Cargo compartment Cadillac SRX has a volume of 844 liters, and when the backs of the rear seats are lowered, this indicator increases to 1730 liters. The trunk door is equipped with an electric drive, and the angle of its opening can be changed.
Of the new safety features, we note the monitoring system for blind zones, control of departure to another strip, the system of preventing possible collisions in front and rear.
Specifications Cadillac SRX
In Russia, two options for engines for Cadillac SRX are presented. The basic motor has a volume of 3 liters and gives power up to 272 horsepower. This V-shaped six reaches a peak at 7000 revolutions per minute and has excellent overclocking dynamics. After the rasterling, the engine has become somewhat economical and not so bitten to the quality of gasoline, as it was before.
According to official data, fuel consumption is about 13.6 liters in the city, 8.6 liters on the track, and in a mixed cycle - about 11.2 liters. The maximum speed with such an engine is limited to 210 km / h, overclocking to 100 occupy only 8.5 seconds. This year, the motor was slightly defined (power reduced to 249 horses) with the preservation of the previous torque. It was done to reduce the tax burden, which, which is, to hide, was Velic, even for the owners of Cadillac.
Another engine option for Russia is a V-shaped gasoline six by 3.6 liters. The engine issues as many as 318 horsepower at 6,800 revolutions per minute. At 2400 rpm, a torque of 360 nm is achieved. Not surprisingly, with such data, the crossover is very and very dynamic: until hundreds of it accelerates in 8.1 seconds, despite the fact that the mass of SRX is two and a half tons. Fuel consumption is naturally increased to 16.3 liters in the city, 8.8 liters on the track and 11.5 liters in mixed mode.
Cadillac SRX is equipped with a 6-step automatic transmission with a full drive system and manual switching. Sports regime is possible. Four-wheel drive, by the way, became differently distributed torque and is now supplemented by self-locking differential.
Engineers did not change the suspension. Here all the same MacPherson in front and multi-dimensional design from behind. The suspension adapts to road conditions and completely independent. All wheels installed ventilated brake discs with drying and malfunctioning. The brake system complements a variety of electronic helpers, such as ABS (4-channel, by the way), BAS, TRC, electric parking brake. Cadillac is equipped with a gur with an alternating force coefficient.
Security in the new SRX at the highest level. In addition to standard frontal here, we will find side airbags and side security curtains protecting and rear passengers. All seat belts are three-point, door locks are programmed.
Prices and configuration Cadillac SRX
There are 2 options for configuration Cadillac SRX: BASE and TOP. The price of the basic configuration begins with 2,059,000 rubles. For this money, you will receive a crossover with a 249-power engine, two-zone climate control, CUE system, BOSE acoustics, four-wheel drive and independent suspension. The finish, as already mentioned, only high quality, so it is not worth worrying for comfort: the equipment is even basic, but the crossover is premium.
But the top pack is charged to the maximum. Both gasoline engines are proposed to choose from. Base equipment added a lot of useful options, just some of them: three-zone climate control, leather interior trim, invisible access system, navigation in Russian, entertainment system for rear seats passengers and many others. The price of such a configuration Cadillac SRX begins 2,489,000 and 2,590,000 rubles for different types of engines.
Test Drive Cadillac SRX (+ Video)
Despite the solid age, it looks Cadillac and to this day is quite fresh and stylish. It seems to be carved from a solid piece of granite or metal: a silhouette of a crossover athletic and muscular. Judge for yourself: even the 20-inch wheeled disk is buried in huge wheel arches.
The interior of SRX, of course, is angular, but this angularity is even elegant and courageous. A new display appeared on the dashboard to which you can withdraw up to three different indicators at the same time. With active driving, you can safely hurt the function buttons, but this happens not so often. USB connectors, which are here two, can be used to recharging smartphones, which is very and very convenient.
Cadillac User Experience (CUE) has similar to the smartphones in which you can change the order of applications to your taste. The multimedia system, by the way, supports the control of gestures, so that you can "look" the track from one to another, you can enlarge the navigator map with two fingers. The sensor, however, is somewhat thoughtful, but the obsolete processor is guilty. The center console with which the climate control and seat ventilation is being configured.
Purchase inside Cadillac is enough, you can get a job as it will be convenient. Chairs have good lateral support, which is very useful with the energetic passage of turns. Spaciously and on the rear seats, there is enough space in front of the knees. In the backrest of the front seats, the monitors of the entertainment system are mounted, there is a climate control unit. BOSE acoustics, by the way, besides the main task, it is still engaged in active noise reduction, so that extraneous sounds in the cabin almost can not be heard.
The engine in Cadillac is quite powerful, but this power somewhat "eaten" is not too distilled "automatic". Even in the sport mode, the box thinks for a long time before improving the transfer. But when the transfer rises, the car acquires excellent acceleration, obviously without feeling lack of capacity. SRX manageability is also at height. An independent suspension is confidently in turns and perfectly holds the trajectory, which is very strange for American cars, prone to "valve". The roar of the road is smoothed well, the grain of asphalt is not felt at all, but significant irregularities are still felt in the cabin, but it is not particularly annoying.
What happened in the end? GM introduced us a good crossover with an excellent suspension, powerful engine and decent handling. If you get used to slowing down sensors, then Cadillac will not have consists at all, so we hope that in the future this deficiency will be eliminated. Restyling, as you can see, go to the American car only for the benefit. Last improvement, for example, brought many additional options and systems that are not all classmates possess. It is nice that on average Cadillac SRX is cheaper than competitors from a large German triple about half a million.
Competitors
It so happened that often when choosing Cadillac, buyers compare it with another premium crossover - RX 350 Lexus crossover. Although cars are similar, they are designed to satisfy different needs, which we will talk about. The appearance of crossovers is opposed to clearly: rectangular and outstretched Cadillac against a rounded and smoothed Lexus. Vertical lining on headlights against traditional horizontal lighting. There is a matter of taste, nothing can be done. But almost everything recognize that the SRX profile looks like a fresh and muscular competitor.
Salon Lexus literally breathes luxury and delight, it is difficult to even imagine who can be uncomfortable here. Here, even on the screen of the multimedia system, fingerprint remains, so that already from one of this you can make an impression on the quality of the internal design of the crossover. Cadillac has everything again somewhat different. We have already talked about the overall excitation and internal space SRX, so you can imagine its contrast in comparison with the sophistication of Lexus. Comfort and convenience Cadillac also do not occupy, and for long journeys, the crossover from GM is comfortable no less than Lexus. However, the leather finish at RX looks more expensive, and the driver's chair has a fully elastic adjustment and more different settings. So, in Lexus, the front armchairs can cool and warm up.
Cadillac is generally cheaper than Lexus, which is undoubtedly plus, but even with all the additional options, SRX will not be more comfortable RX 350.
The lexus engine is somewhat more powerful and has a larger torque, while being somewhat economical and eco-friendly power plants on Cadillac. Lexus is driving more and accelerated from turns more actively, and the suspension does not feel so hard. But to pass the series of turns and generally go on the highway more interesting on Cadillac. You will always stand out from the stream of cars, keeping the dynamics and passion.
Oddly enough, Lexus looks too ideal, so that someone driving from the Cadillac control can come to taste. The pleasant ride ratio and the dynamics of the control are closing shortcomings in appearance, and the stuffing from SRX, which is not said, just gorgeous.
This model is the first crossover in the model range. Cadillac., It is worth the step below the flagship of the line of the concern Cadillac – Escalede / Escalade.But with more modest dimensions and class, it has almost exactly the same equipment already in the baseline. Design / Cadillac SRX. I will be absolutely recognizable, as it completely echoes with the entire line of released Cadillac. Angular, chopped forms, swift lines and exterior in general, as well as high headlight headlamps and rear lights continue the stylistic thought embodied in previously announced models CTS. and Xlr.. IN / Cadillac SRX. The ideas are embodied, first tested on concepts " Vision». 
The excellent combination of a luxurious interior, memorable design and excellent performance with the Cadillac style contributes to the stable demand for Cadillac SRX / Cadillac SRX, both from official dealers and in the secondary market.
The features of the Cadillac SRX / Cadillac SRX design include - a hard carrying body, front and rear (multi-dimensional) aluminum suspension collected on subframes, as well as a proprietary system called to change the stiffness of shock absorbers, depending on the coating of the road, Mrc. - Magnetic Ride Control.
/ Cadillac SRX., it has a stylish individuality and is able to surprise any, even the most ambitious, driver, because it was created for almost the roads of Russia - it's not a pit or snow or uneven road fabric, it overcomes all the obstacles with only VIP-class cars with comfort.

Cadillac SRX Reviews
Of course, everything is not well and in the Internet can always be stumble upon a negative feedback about any car - Cadillac SRX / Cadillac SRX. Not an exception (the Orphography of the original is saved, confidential data is excluded):
Bracking Cadillac is normal for General Motors!
In August 2008, he bought a new Cadillac SRX 3.6 colors of a white mother of pearl, with a hatch into the shelter and other pleasant options. Unfortunately, the car, perfectly conceived, is striking the lack of quality and is an obscure product of the Russian assembly:
- Incorrect body welding. Clearance on the roof between the hatch and the side rack of the roof with a finger.
- Because of the same irregular welding, the front driver's door beats over the roof overlay so that the metal frame and roof metal frames.
- Skyrow Salon. How many cars were me - for the first time such a miracle is necessary. I go only with the music enabled, so as not to bother.
- The hood runs about the body in the head of the headlight, so that it erased not only paint, but metal.
- Trunk lid fastening bracket rust.
- Muffler beats about body
- Knocks in the front suspension, even when driving on a flat road
- Marriage of the front panel of the salon with the top plank is a 03mm gap, and it should not be in general.
- The hose barrel of the glass washer fell off on the first 1000 km
- Uneven docking of the lower plastic parts of the cabin
- The part of the driver's side deflector fell off.
- Hood rubbed grille to plastics
- The difference in the gaps of the instrument panels and the front doors.
- Non-uniformity and non-rotation of the inner parts of the body, which will cause early corrosion.
- Under the hood of the body, the locals are not blocked completely
- Write paint driver's door lining
- Air conditioner does not work
- The hatch is not closed on the first attempt, not reaching 10-15 cm. Before closing opens again.
- Porn sunshine visor driver.
- The left washer left is not fixed in the correct position.
- Foreign noise of stove deflectors
Conclusion: Most likely, marriage of welding, body painting and assembly. The quality does not correspond not only to the premium segment, but in general standards for assembling any car. Waiting for the results of forensic examination. From the bus station, this car is unlikely to fall. Such a feeling that the car was collected on the underground service. Russian VIN - XWFEE437180 ****** In such defects, General Motors and Motor Show Tradinvest refuse to perform any warranty obligations not only on the return of the car, but also to repair! Wall all on the client! Waiting for judicial consideration of the case.
Such problems are not the norm for Cadillac and are most likely due to the domestic assembly and improper quality control of one of the shift. One hundred Vita-Motors is engaged in the repair of Cadillac SRX / CADILLAC SRX since the appearance of these cars in Russia: with full responsibility we can declare that there are no such problems with cars by the ocean. We hope that the case described above is simply an annoying accident, and not a general trend.
Cadillac SRX problems
And now a little about the "sad": what still "ambushes" are waiting for the owner of Cadillac SRX / Cadillac SRX? Briefly about the main thing - the cost of service is certainly not frightened by the owner of the premium brand car (the first certain, but the potential owners of second-hand thinks the information is no useful will not appear).
Cadillac SRX electrical equipment
The simplest thing: a head light bulb seemingly to talk about here?
But it is for the first, inexperienced, look! And in fact, it turns out a number of details - first, the light bulb is here (foreway xenon) and art aboutiT in the original more than a hundred dollars (unoriginal twice as cheaper), but not this is the main thing - for its replacement will have to remove bumper(!) Secondly, it may well be that the problem is not in the light bulb, but in the ignition block. Nonsense? By no means: ignition block xenon There is no more than fifty dollars, but it is in a hand set (for example, for installation in Zhiguli), but it comes about Cadillac and ... the ignition unit is not supplied separately from the headlight headlamp and integrated not only in the headlight corrector module, but also in the headlight washer module!
As a result, it turns out that: the correction of the problem with the extinguished lamp of the head light may at best do the owner in the amount of $ 250 per replace the lamp with the removal of the bumper, and at $ 2,000 if required replacing the integrated ignition of xenon. Of course, you can try to "slip" the light from the sold low-cost blocks, but the consequence of such pseudotuning will be the garlands of forever burning alarms on the information display and the dashboard - the modules tracking the mechanism of the car will immediately notice the substitution!
Cadillac SRX Suspension Problems
Wonder shock absorbers Mrc. (Magnetic Ride Control) Infrequently require replacement, but sometimes they have to change them, and this is, in general, also not cheap - replacing one Cadillac SRX shock absorber will cost $ 1,700, not counting the cost maintenance work on replacing the shock absorber. While the car is new, shock absorbers can be changed one by one, but this is usually the care of the dealer carranty service, but after time change shock absorbersyou will have a couple of and at your own expense.
If you do not pay attention to the warning inscription in time SERVICE RIDE CONTROLthen may have to be spent on Replace all four shock absorbers, And this is already 1700 × 4 \u003d $ 6800, without taking into account the cost of work. What, by the way, is equal to the value of the new Daewoo Matiz in the "luxury" configuration with air conditioning.
Someone, for sure, wants to save and here, however, do not forget that Mrc. "Tied" and car stabilization system (Stability System.) so get rid installation of cheap shock absorbers Without MRC (200 dollars per piece) will not work. You can also try replace the PCM firmware (« change the firmware of the control unit») So that the alarms and the" running line "reporting on the malfunction did not act on the nerves, but few of the buying Cadillac wants for budget repairs Use Chinese or domestic substitutes.
Lovers of classic Americans want to say right away - to obtain a smooth and long-time comfortable suspension of shock absorbers, there was no and will not. This car was built for other purposes and with a loaf on European classmates, therefore I recommend immediately to draw my gaze in choosing a car to other models of the Cadillac concern.
It is probably worth paying attention to the Cadillac hubs, they are in this model "die" almost suddenly (though mileage before replacement is quite large - at least 100,000 km). For replace StupitsIt is recommended to use original Details CadillacBecause no non-original manufacturer can catch up with the resource of your product even up to half the original resource.
Brake problems problems
Frankly weak brakes for such a cheerful crossover too often require attention - if not every replace oil, after one exactly, the owner awaits not only replacing brake pads Cadillac SRX, but also replacing brake discs. Extremely rare wheels with pads "go" longer, because Cadillac Cadillac SRX buyers do not buy it for movement with speeds allowed by traffic police of the Russian Federation. Such. cadillac SRX brake problem Easily eliminates, it is only when replacing the use of discs and pads from manufacturers of tuning brake systems, simply speaking, implement tuning Brake System Cadillac SRX: Depending on the thickness of the wallet there are sets from EBC. before Brembo.. Tuning brakes not only make it more often to pay attention, but will significantly increase cadillac braking efficiency generally.
Cadillac SRX Engine Problems
In the summer, chances of overheating, extremely sensitive to overheating, increase significantly. This means that the list of seasonal work on the preparation of the car to operation in the spring-summer period must be included checking the cooling system - operability of electo fantalers, viscous foods of the main cooling fan, pump performance and the moment of opening the thermostat. But the main thing is of course the cleanliness of the coolant of radiators, because the "sandwich" of three radiators ( radiator air conditioner, cooling radiator ACPP and main Cooling Radiator) It is almost unrealistic to blow up, even three, full-power, fans are practically unrealistic. After visual inspection, radiators are usually dominated, removed the decorative grille of the radiator and first with water under pressure, and then air (compressor with a capacity of 6-atmospheres) remove the rammed contaminants that interfere with normal heat exchange. Remember - superheated motor - this is the beginning of serious motor problems Cadillac SRX, From cluttered rings and colossal oil fad (up to 1-2 liters per 1000 km), to breakdown the gasket of the cylinder head, which will deliver a considerable headache and a non-needed price tag for repairs on a fully aluminum motor.
Northstar V8 VVT 4.6 liters - advanced motor, with excellent characteristics, but requires a "gentle" accurate relationship (clear passage planned maintenance Cadillac, daily oil level checkand normally functioning cooling system).
Cadillac SRX Electronics Problems
Finally, I would like to tell about the most common problem of Cadillac SRH / Cadillac SRX - about the periodic disappearance of digital communication between modules. From error Lost Communication No owner of Cadillac / Cadillac is not insured, and we are talking about the entire line of the concern, and not just about CPH / SRX, although of course SRX and CTS are the leaders of this topic.
It does not mean that the wiring and digital lines in Cadillac are very weak, by no means: In most cases, the emergence of problems is associated with software ( firmware modules In the focus), in second place on failures - the modules themselves, unfortunately - the quality of the parts used away from the ideal, because the resource of many nodes is small. And only in the last place it is possible to sin on wiring.
Timing problem on Cadillac cars with V6 3.6L engine
One of the most common problems inherent in Motor 3.6, so a favorite GM concern - tensile the timing chains. What is it manifested? First, the car enthusiast is borrowed by Check Engine errors, on the list:
- DTC P0008. - Engine Position System Perfomance Bank1
- DTC P0009. - Engine Position System Perfomance Bank2
- DTC P0010 - INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit Bank1
- DTC P0013. - Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid CONTROL CIRCUIT BANK1

Indirectly, on the occurrence of problems can indicate these codes of the engine control unit, OBDII CODES (ECM) Cadillac / Chevrolet / Buick / Saturn / GMC: DTC P0020, DTC P0023, DTC P2090, DTC P2091, DTC P2092, DTC P2093, DTC P2094, DTC P2095, DTC P0011, DTC P0014, DTC P0021, DTC P0024, DTC P0016, DTC P0017, DTC P0018, DTC P0019.
What actually is a malfunction and how is it manifested? And everything, as usual, is quite simple: the stretched drive chains of the gas distribution mechanism on the V6 3,6L engine inevitably lead to the incorrect operation of the MRM phase change system, which in turn leads to unstable engine operation, reduction of power characteristics, especially in transient modes, and Increased fuel consumption. Simply put, uncontrolled stretched chain "shifts" phases of timber distribution, driving a motor control unit.
It is for this that the above error codes (and the CHECK ENGINE indicator) are indicated: Synchronization (inadmissibility of indications, inconsistency) of distribution and crankshaft sensors. Specialist will immediately understand what the case, and the summary of most non-philic service diagnosticity diagnoses will most often be reduced to the recommendations for replacing a sensor (Camshaft / Crankshaft Position Sensor), the repair of electrical wiring or updating the alleged "flying" firmware of the engine control unit (ECM, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE ).
Replacing the chains of the gas distribution mechanism (timing chain) on Cadillac CTS / STS / SRX vehicles, 3,6L engines, is standard, unfortunately, the operation of the vert-Motors operated by masters. By the way, a 3.6 liter V6 engine is also installed on other models of cars manufactured by General Motors, for example, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse and Saturn Outlook, which have exactly the same problems with the gas distribution mechanism, Like more famous fellow concern.
What can go wrong? The client pays for the diagnosis, which is, on the fact of reading fault codes with incorrect decoding (interpretation) and with a calm soul prepares for payment of the recommended work, which, in turn, will not bring absolutely no result, except for pastry spent and cash.
There is a category of owners who prefer to contact the service when the program is no longer able to do anymore, although until a certain point, it is possible to eliminate the defect with minimal labor costs. GM dealership services offer an electronic "solution" of the question - changing the firmware ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE), but it is done only to delay the emergence of claims of the owner to the manufacturer's warranty obligations. In other words, the modified program simply ceases to notice the exit beyond the permissible readings of one or more distribution and / or crankshaft position sensors on the engine of 3,6L. By the way, on Nordstar 4,6L V8, such problems does not arise, there are their own, but this is the topic of another article.
So, what is fraught with the appeal to the dealership (authorized) service center with the problem described? Repair of cars, like medicine - can be treated, and you can drown out symptoms and unpleasant sensations, such as painful. Here, everything is exactly the case - the defect, as it was, and remained, but the self-diagnosis of ECM no longer sees a malfunction. Is it good and right - to solve you. It will end everything quite projected - the replacement of the timing chains, that's just it will occur at the end of the warranty period and it will be possible to resolve at the expense of the owner!
Vita Motors, unlike dealers, at the initial stage of the problem occurrence, may resolve the issue of "mechanical" by. It is to decide, and not to deceive the vigilance of the self-diagnosis of ECM. At our disposal there is own Know-how, repeatedly proven and absolutely capable - grateful positive reviews of auto owners about Vita-Motors masters is the best confirmation. The total cost of solving the problem caused by the tension of the V6 3,6L engine timber drive chains from General Motors is 15,000 rubles (March 2015), including the cost of work and consumables.
If the point of failure is passed, that is, the car arrived in the service with irreversible timing damage, Vita-Motors experts qualified will replace the details of the failed. We do not change everything in a row, although a new and better good, but reasonable savings of the client's funds, our rustle - I will never take it in Vita Motors, do not doubt. The cost of the work on the replacement of the drive chains of the gas distribution mechanism in Vita-Motors will cost the client in 20,000 rubles (March 2015). The exact cost of spare parts will be exhibited after appropriate diagnostics, the "standard set" today (March 2015), which includes the timing chains, tensioner rollers, the shoes of the sedator, the front of the crankshaft, the set of gaskets, and so on. Customer will cost about 40,000 rubles ($ 700). Also, of course, the engine oil and antifreeze will be needed.
ATTENTION! Even having a VIN car Order Spare parts are not so easyhow it may seem at first glance - the chains installed by the plant by 3.6 can be like double row and single-row, and either all three chains will be the same, or 2/1, or 1/2 and the program does not filter it, check It is possible only to open the timing! We strongly recommend ordering spare parts in advance, except for the set of pads - everything is definitely here.
Is it possible to avoid the occurrence of problems with the chains of the gas distribution mechanism on the engines of 3.6 and what is necessary for this? The answer is simple - only oil must be poured into the engine, the manufacturer's manufacturer (Repair Manual) of the manufacturer on use in your region, with amendments to seasonality and a clear execution of the regulations in terms of replacement time.
For use in Moscow and Mo Vita Motors recommends applying Mobil 5W30 oils. Our service is officially authorized Mobil 1 center in the metropolitan region. We recommend replacing the replacement, depending on the operation mode - Winter / Summer, plugs / route, etc. - Wizards will help to choose an individual plan for replacing engine oil. In compliance with these simple recommendations, you will not have any problems with the timing chains.

In the early 2000s, the crossover segment was just beginning to be born, but even then it became clear that such cars would be used by the buyer. In this regard, many automakers began to submit their options in the SUV class, in order to firmly entrenched in it and gain popularity. So happened with Cadillac. Moreover, for the American brand, the creation of a crossover has become the first experience, which turned out to be quite successful.
I Generation (2004-2009)
For the first time, Cadillac SRX (factory index - GMT 265) appeared before the public outlets of 2003 on one of the largest automotive exhibitions in the United States of America. The same model was published later.
For the American brand, the SRH became the first in its history. The main competitors of the novelties were assigned Acura MDX, Volvo XC90, as well as Lexus RX. In Cadillac, they understood that for the successful struggle with named Visavi, their brainchild should have a number of benefits. Such were the monumental design of the new crossover, powerful power units, rich configuration. In addition, the price also looked more than democratic.
Technics
The car is presented in the market in two power modifications:
- Power installation 3.6 liters, outstanding 255 "horses". It is equipped with a five-frame automatic transmission.
- Motor 4.6 liters. Power is 324 forces that are implemented automatic with six steps.
North American versions by default have a drive to the rear axle, while the four-wheel drive was offered only as an option.
In the Russian Federation, the crossover with a mono industry was sold only with an installation of 3.6 liters, but a more powerful alternative was equipped with an exceptionally driven by all four wheels.
Brief specifications:
The Cadillac SRX was based on the GM platform called Sigma. SUV length equates to 4 meters of 950 millimeters, and the parameter of its wheelbase is 2 meters of 957 millimeters.
Market policy
Currently, a decent copy can be used only under the condition of the late anniversary. Earlier variations have many "childhood diseases" and do not differ reliability.
Personal experience
On the Internet you can find many videos, as well as reviews of the owners about the nuances of the operation of this car and impressions about it. Below is one of the histories of the specific model.
Cadillac Sriks conquered me with his extraordinary design, large dimensions, comfortable interior. I purchased it used by the dealer - the car was handed over according to the Traid-in program, while its condition was excellent, and the mileage at the time of purchase had 80 thousand kilometers. For all the time of ownership, 60 thousand kilometers drove and revealed strong, weaknesses of the crossover.
Advantages:
- Cheerful overclocking.
- Spacious salon.
- Soft suspension.
Disadvantages:
- Too impulse handling.
- Insufficient sound insulation.
Test Drive
New style
The first generation Cadillac SRX became the harbingers of the new corporate design of the brand, which became a refund to the preliminary traditions. Namely, the body is noteworthy angular forms and substantial dimensions. In addition, the lighting optics are made vertical, which gives a car of healthy aggression, representativeness.
Business atmosphere
The salon is decorated with wood and leather, and the plastic is fading to the touch, which allows you to talk about attention to the trifles when designing the internal decoration of Cadillac. The central console looks strictly and is not overloaded with keys. It can notice the color screen of the multimedia system to which navigation can be displayed, rearview camera.
Laconic instrument panel - only basic readings, there is no full-fledged onboard computer. At the same time, its readability is high, despite the radial digitization.
The driver's seat does not have an extended profile, but not bad side support provides acceptable fixation of the body. If we talk about the sofa of the second row, it is molded under two people, although three can accommodate here.
The knees are enough even with growth in 190 centimeters, but narrow emptyings on door cards prevent the comfortable placement of elbows. The volume of the luggage compartment is an impressive 827 liters.
Bet on Comfort
Motor 4.6 liters provides Cadillac SRH worthy acceleration dynamics. The power unit is elastic in the entire turn range and withdrawing gas pedals. At the same time, the gear ratios of transmission are stretched, but its smooth and smart work compensates.
But the steering is unlikely to please active drivers. Baranka lacks pronounced feedback, sensitive reactions. At the same time, the passage of aggregates is overshadowed by significant rolls, diagonal star.
But the suspension with long turns is very gently working out the overwhelming majority of road irregularities. Thus, long-distance travel will be very comfortable and unobtrusive.
II generation (2009-2016)
The design of the Cadillac SRX second generation (GMT 166) evolved noticeably. Slimming and smoothness came to change the brutal, faceted body lines, and the dimensions have slightly decreased. At the same time, the vertical configuration of the lighting optics is preserved, as well as the architecture of the radiator grille.
Inside the finishing materials were updated, the central console was reworked, the layout of the instrument panel. There were serious reforms and in terms of technology, but about it below.
Technical component
The power gamma crossover looks like this:
- Engine 2.8 liters with an impact of 300 horsepower.
- Motor 3.0 liter, outstanding 269 "horses".
- Power installation 3.6 liters. Power is 318 forces.
All motors are equipped with a sixdiaband "machine". The drive is full. However, in the Market of North America, the base engine 3.0 liters is available and associated with all-wheel drive transmission.
Data briefly:
Cadillac SRH is based on theta Premium platform. Noteworthy is the fact that the other GM model is designed on the same basis, SAAB 9-4X. In length, the American crossover stretched 4 meters 834 millimeters, the wheel base is 2 meters 807 millimeters.
II generation. Restyling (2012-2016)
In 2012, the car survived the modernization procedure and was represented by the public in video format. Outside, the housings of the side view mirrors have changed, bumpers and body kit.
The layout of the instrument panel has changed inside, the center console received the touch control keys, and the seats have become more comfortable.
Restyling changed the Cadillac SRX power line. Now she looks like this:
- Three-liter power unit with returns in 249 forces.
- Installation 3.6 liter issuing 318 "horses".
The basic version is made front-wheel drive, while the top one is still offered with full. Transmission - automatic, with six steps.
Characteristics:
In order to increase the sensitivity of the steering, new racks of shock absorbers were installed. Also, changes are made to the design of the front suspension.
Price policy
The overwhelming majority of those sold copies are in good technical condition. Therefore, investments after purchase will be minimal.
Personal experience
On the Internet, you can find many reviews about this model. Below will be one of them.
I needed a car that can satisfy a number of criteria, namely - comfort, design, dynamics. Chose from crossovers, but German cars caused great suspicions about their reliability and expensive service, so attention was shifted towards Japanese, American analogues. From the "Japanese" there was nothing worth finding, so it was decided to acquire Cadillac Srix.
At the time of purchase, the mileage was only 35 thousand kilometers. Personal operation increased it to 80 thousand. In general, the crossover pleased me. Its pluses include a memorable appearance, a comfortable salon, a trapper motor and good handling. As for minuses, they are represented by high fuel consumption, illogical control of the multimedia complex.
In order to improve dynamic properties, a motor chip-tuning was made. The car became noticeably faster, while the fuel consumption decreased somewhat.
Test
Fidelity Traditions
Cadillac has significantly changed the appearance of the SRH second generation, but at the same time retained the recognizable traits of the crossover.
It is possible to recognize it from the total weight by vertical configuration of lighting optics, lattice with large cells, as well as concise bumpers.
In this case, the car looks aggressively. In this merit of expressive scholar body, falling roof, large exhaust pipes, as well as a spoiler on the fifth door.
New trends
The most interesting lounge is the restyling version of the crossover. Here attention is caught by the central console, the management on which is carried out by means of the sensor keys ̶ the solution is very spectacular, but unfortunately not the most convenient. Namely, when you click on the desired button, the delay is followed, which distracts from the driving process.
The optimal instrument panel has a pretty blue light and clear digitization. Informatively adds a large screen on the side of the computer, which pleases the eye with high-quality graphics.
The driver will be able to easily settle in his chair due to wide range of adjustments, verified profile. If we talk about the rear seeds, then freely on the sofa will be only two passengers, with an increase of no more than 185 centimeters. Otherwise, the knees will be very small.
In the course of the move
For outstanding dynamics it is worth thank by a 3.6 liter motor. He is responsive in the entire range of revolutions and has a pronounced pickup on medium turnover. Transmission changes the steps smoothly, although it allows delays.
The steering is quite sensitive, informative. Rolls when moving moderate, as well as a routine. At the same time, the suspension with high energy intensity provides a high smoothness of the stroke on small, medium irregularities.
About successor model
In 2015, one of the prestigious exhibitions in the United States was presented. It was positioned by the American company as the SRX model successor. The latter came from the assembly conveyor in 2016.
Cadillac HT5 received a fundamentally different design of the body, the cabin, as well as a new platform. Motors are capable of deactivating a part of the cylinders in order to increase fuel efficiency, and the adaptive suspension has several modes of operation. The car is available for purchase on the market of the Russian Federation at a price of 2 million 990 thousand rubles.

Cadillac SRX I Owners Reviews
Cadillac SRX I, 2005
Regarding management. On the road Cadillac SRX I keeps himself confident, control is intelligible. The steering wheel in the measure is sharp (it is rather plus - does not try to escape from hands on irregularities), with sluggish feedback, but sufficient for comfort control (relaxes for the road). The suspension is soft, swallows small irregularities without much difficulty, but on more serious shocks are clearly passing. Rolls in turns are not big, the suspension works clearly and during them stops. You can forcefully disable the course stability system with a button located near automatic transmission. With respect to the dynamics - there are no complaints. Acceleration for 6.9 and the maximum 240 km per hour - in principle they speak for themselves. Competitors who are comparable to Cadillac, are much more expensive. Appearance at Cadillac SRX I is an unusual, unknown. With enviable regularity causes interest among others. Transmission: automatic box (5 steps) with manual switching. The box works without special lags, switch soft - without jerks. Regarding the interior: a lot of plastic. This has already been mentioned a lot, and this fact is somewhat depressing, but I found a way out - the dealer also acquired a set of inserts under the tree - they are excellent and this flaw disappears (the interior is significantly transformed). Noise insulation is very decent, silence in the cabin even at speed far in 150. Music - BOSE (if not Meloman, then quite decent). Audio control authorities are deposited on the steering wheel. Regarding the configuration: the car is very well equipped, especially since unlike European colleagues, there is a "full minced". There is everything.
Dignity : Excellent dynamics. Decent handling. Decent smoothness. Sufficient permeability for light off-road. Expressive appearance. Good noise insulation.
disadvantages : fuel consumption. Many plastic in the cabin.

Cadillac SRX I, 2008
The engine 3.6 accelerates Cadillac SRX I very tightly, smoothly and unnoticed, the speed is not felt at all, even though I am not a racer, but it does not work at all, it does not work at all, it is constantly 150-160, or even more. Therefore, I often look at the speedometer. There is another SRX with an engine 4.6 and a capacity of 325 hp, it is probably a plane in general. Fuel consumption is quite acceptable, in a mixed cycle, approximately 14-16 liters is obtained, on the highway not more than 11. The tank is 75 liters. Father traveled to "Dalnyak" to Bulgaria and lowered the consumption of up to 9.5 liters along the cruise highway. Compared to the "Tahoe", Cadillac SRX I is quite capricious to the quality of gasoline, after a bad refueling can light the "Jackie Chan" lamp and start to play. It is treated either by normal refueling, or throwing off the terminal from the battery (the last extremely rarely), dealers say that this disease is all SRX. The interior is very original, beautiful and high-quality made. Plastic on the lower parts of the panel and doors. If it is worse (what I doubt it) than in the praised "Germans", then quite slightly. The panel is covered with skin, insert and under the tree and under aluminum, and the insertion under the tree is very beautiful. Electrological management of everything you can and can not, only the steering wheel, in my opinion, without adjustment. The automatic transmission switches the transmission smoothly and unnoticed, there is a sport mode and manual switching. Full navigation, TV, DVD work perfectly, it's a pity that the TV and DVD do not show, only sound. Special attention deserves a huge, panoramic hatch in almost the entire roof. I always open only a curtain when I'm going somewhere, the feeling that you are going to the cabriolet, only in the salon silence. By the way, the sound isolation is excellent. The hatch itself, when opening, sometimes twisted, you need to either open it more often to be developed, or disassemble and see what's the matter!
Dignity : appearance. Salon. Reliability. Charisma.
disadvantages : Required fuel quality.

Cadillac SRX I, 2009
Features of the car: the nature of the American car (it is really sorry that there are no longer left - after it went to SRX II - also excellent, but much more Europeized). Spacious in the cabin is a large stock of place in shoulders, above your head, in the back seat. The dynamics of Cadillac SRX I actually excellent, the car accelerates with almost any revolutions and also interferes inhibits the salon: very good equipment, for the money that these cars now cost, I will not be happy to say, the best. Good skin, 2 hatches (one of them is huge, panoramic), climate control system deflectors for all 3 rows, electrified all that can (seat pedal node, steering, back door, hatches), TV. Clearance is more than 200 mm and a complete drive system is not bad for crossover (SRX I passable SRX II, traveled on both). Noise isolation - on comfortable for our tracks 120-150 km can be quietly talking in the cabin. It is really very comfortable to ride along the routes (American origin is felt). Light headlights in the dark - visibility is excellent. A number of facts: Consumption of AI-92: the route - 14 -15 liters, the city is 17-21 liters, both and the other with the climate control enabled. When pouring AI-95, the flow does not change. The suspension is double: perfectly copes with small irregularities and waves plus the car perfectly stands on a straight, but pits and quietly meets hard, on very bad roads get tired of periodic shaking. Manageability American: Empty steering wheel, turning is not bad, but reluctant. The center of gravity is low for a crossover, so the speed is moved well, there are no demolitions on turns and in open places. A large wheelbase and as a result of this, the reversal radius is the reverse side of the medal for the spacious rear row.
Dignity : Dynamics. The quality of the finish. Price.
disadvantages : Suspension hard worries irregularities.

Cadillac SRX I, 2004
Cadillac SRX I took 2004, the US assembly, with a mileage of 150 thousand km in 2011. If you can apply to "Cadillac" this word, then a budget version, i.e. 3.6 liters, with simple shock absorbers, without the "Magnetic" system. I went on the dark blue "crocodile" 3 years and rolled 153 thousand km. Comfortable and roomy. Adjustable pedal node, seats memory, tv rear row. It would not be superfluous to put armrests on the front seats. The rear seats are folded into the smooth floor, it was necessary to spend the night together, the five stars do not pull, but you can safely relax. In the trunk False floor with three niches, very comfortable and practical. The most problematic place is the hub. I "walked" 80 thousand km, China 27 thousand suspension 2-lever. Ball and silent blocks only with the lever (aluminum), when buying, see carefully, the levers are sold only in the collection (or "collective farm"). In my case, I changed two front lower on 12 rubles. The drive is permanent full. Distribution chain. There is no interstreen and interstole blocking. There is a disconnected TC. In the fields, after a strong shower put the chains on the rear wheels and disconnected the vehicle, so that the pads do not burn. Rides without problems. Put protection - the generator is low. With the engine neither when buying, nor during operation there was no problem. I changed only three ignition coils of 1.5 rubles, the hinged belt, its roller and the return valve. It is inconvenient to change the candles - you need to shoot the upper part of the engine. From the second time it turns out 40 minutes for everything. When selling SRX is decently lost in price.
Dignity : Rare. Appearance. Spacious. Comfortable.
disadvantages : hubs. Tax. Consumption.

Cadillac SRX I, 2007
So, Cadillac SRX I 2007. Completion of nonsense. Just think, the windows can be closed and open by pressing the keys in the door cards (now the owners of Loganov tightened). "Bibikalka" in the center of the steering wheel, hello to the owners of "Largus", and you will not believe me now, but the steering wheel is adjustable in height. And not like most cars - for sight, and so that in the lower position almost concerns the seat, and in the upper - a natural bus. Cadillac, like BMW - a car that can cause psychological addiction. He is too "different," he does everything in his own way, for him there are no "stupid" standards, which other auto manufacturers seem convenient solutions. Cadillac SRX I inherits a racing beautiful chassis, and gives the indescribable sensations from driving. You always know when you demolish you, where you will be demolished, what needs to be done so that you will not be demolished, and why don't you going to do this. Cadillac SRX I can ride sideways on dry asphalt - it will not turn over. Management in the drift is quite predictable. True, it is difficult to put it enough. Engine in 258 hp Beautiful, although almost immediately I wanted even more. Road clearance at level, the bottom is cling almost nothing. Factory defense is established so that SRX floats in deep snow, like a ship. With ordinary movement in the city of SRX reminds UAZ patriot. Both are in essence, trucks. And there and there is a considerable brutality when pressing the accelerator, turning the steering wheel. "Frame shiver" allows you to feel that you lead a heavy car, and not modern technology. But there is a key difference. With the same bunch of the brightest sensations from the "real" driving, Cadillac SRX I is amazingly listened to the driver, and there is no UAZ. Consumption: from 13.5 with jewelry pedal, up to 27, when snowfall and city stands in kilometer traffic jams. Something average is 16-17 liters. When you allow yourself to "nag".
Dignity : Handling. Capacity. Engine.
disadvantages : No special.

Cadillac SRX I, 2010
I was looking for Cadillac SRX I purposefully, and only with an engine 4.6 liters. There is no "no investment" state in the market, so I took with the problems on the suspension. Coal-black on light skin with a sportspaket, panorama, but without a 3rd row of seats. I bought for 600 thousand, I knew that I would put about 150 more. In the end, I invested 180 to the technical component (replacement of ZhIJ in a circle, replacing shock absorbers in a circle - analogue without pneumatic and MRC, replacement of xenon lamps, replacement of all silent blocks in the front suspension, replacement Engine pillows - not scheduled). In the queue dry cleaning, polishing, exhaust I want another. Now in sensations from the car. Cadillac SRX I is going very well. On the track, he is generally gorgeous. 4.6 allows you to make overtakes from any speed. So in the caravans for the wagons, it is not necessary to place. In the city, he is not so good because of his length, but again the speaker decides. Exterior - taste and color. I really like the chopped design of "Cadillakov". Interior on 4, again subjectively. Of course, all sorts of switches look old, but for me absolutely uncritical. Discovery 4 friend - on the second row of seats for foot seats less than in Cadyl. The trunk is huge. In general, the place in the car is a bunch, the salon is very spacious, which is very important to me. Disadvantages - the insane work of the Traction Control, to throw the car elementary to the car, although I tried only at low speeds, maybe at high more adequate, I do not know. I'm not going to try. Office of the rear janitor over head next to hatch management is uncomfortable. The rear window looks very quickly, and you have to be distracted from the road. Consumption and tax. But I knew what was going. Looking at the expenses of friends on Discovery 4 and on the A4 Allroad, I see that I will have the cumulative cost of ownership below or comparable. But at the same time the reliability of Cadillac SRX I on the head above. There is nothing to break there, unlike the Germans and the British.
Dignity : Salon. Dynamics. Challenges.
disadvantages : Traction Control. Consumption. Tax.

Cadillac SRX I, 2007
I bought Cadillac SRX I with a mileage of 75 thousand (probably twisted at least 50). I still hit 80 thousand expenses on it: hubs are consumable. I changed them more often than brake pads. Go to 20 thousand km. The price with a replacement from 15,000 to 30,000 per piece (depends on the manufacturer). Fuel consumption. I do not know what they write there in directories or in the onboard computer, but not less than 20 liters / 100 km. This is a mixed cycle. Diagnostics showed that catalysts on the approach, but the extra 60 thousand. I do not have. Cut the rods and put the flavors - about 15,000, while not the fact that the flow will fall - they write differently. In practice, I poured 500 rubles. A day, if I did not go anywhere, and 1000-1500, if you had to ride somewhere. In the last year - changed a car with his wife, she has less trips. The timing - appeared ignition switches, began to tune, all the checks began. Sentenced timing. Do not be taken everywhere. As a result, the service (not the official) gave 85 thousand materials with work. Brakes. From just not. The feeling that for such a car was put brakes from the eye. Very cotton, big braking path. For all the time of ownership, they also covered: heated steering, drive 5th door, tire pressure sensor twice (cruise control), rear janitor, conducted front doors. In the last year, ownership began strongly knocking automatic transmission, especially on cold. Prices for repair - cosmic. I did not decide - I sold along the trad-in. Characteristic sores with rear diode lanterns did not touch me, but I think this is a matter of time (and they are expensive). I did not like the blind (dead) zone on the left, closed by the driver's mirror of the rear view. At the pedestrian crossings constantly look out for him. Very easy not to see the child. According to my estimates, during possession, I have invested in Cadillac SRX I more than 300 thousand rubles. And this is not counting the fuel consumption and transport tax.
Dignity : four-wheel drive. Comfort. Full audio system.
disadvantages : Service cost. Fuel consumption. Brakes. Unquity for sale.
