Performance Specs and Features of the 2025 Cadillac XT5 at Eric Von Schledorn Auto Group
Performance matters when navigating city streets or hitting the highway for a weekend trip. That’s exactly where the 2025 Cadillac XT5 shines. As a premium midsize SUV, it blends powerful capabilities with refined driving dynamics, making it a smart pick for drivers in Milwaukee, WI. At Eric Von Schledorn Auto Group, we’re excited to showcase what makes this luxury crossover a standout in comfort and performance.
Let’s examine the 2025 Cadillac XT5’s performance features and see why it continues to be a top choice for those who want more than a stylish ride.
Turbocharged Power That Delivers
The 2025 Cadillac XT5 has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It’s responsive, quick to accelerate, and offers a smooth ride across different driving conditions. If you’re craving more muscle under the hood, an available 3.6-liter V6 engine pushes the performance up a notch with 310 horsepower. Whether commuting through Milwaukee traffic or exploring backroads outside the city, this SUV has the strength to keep things exciting.
Both engines are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that offers quick, confident shifts. Front-wheel drive is standard, but many Milwaukee drivers will appreciate the available all-wheel-drive system, especially during snowy Wisconsin winters.
Agile Handling Meets Everyday Comfort
One of the most appealing parts of the 2025 Cadillac XT5 is how it balances control and comfort. It’s built on a well-tuned suspension that keeps the ride composed without feeling overly stiff. For those who want more refined driving control, the optional Active Sport Suspension (available with the Sport trim) reads road conditions in real-time and adjusts damping for a more connected drive.
With its lightweight chassis and responsive steering, the XT5 feels nimble for its size, making it easy to handle in tight city corners or suburban streets. It’s a practical daily driver with a fun-to-drive spirit.

Fuel Economy and Towing Capabilities
With the base 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, the 2025 XT5 gets an EPA-estimated 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. These numbers are solid for its class and make it a strong choice for commuters looking to save on fuel.
If towing is on your checklist, the available V6 engine can handle up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. That’s perfect for a small trailer, boat, or weekend gear.
Performance With a Touch of Luxury
Even with its practical performance features, the 2025 Cadillac XT5 doesn’t forget about luxury. It’s quiet on the highway, confident in its acceleration, and composed on rough surfaces. Add available upgrades like 20-inch wheels, real-time chassis damping control, and performance brakes, and you’ve got an SUV that feels refined without sacrificing power.
