The 2010 SRX features a completely new design and more-efficient, high-technology engine choices.

The 2010 SRX is designed for efficient performance, including the choice of two high-tech six-cylinder engines that are new to Cadillac. A new, 3.0L direct injected 265-horsepower V-6 engine is standard and a new, 2.8L turbocharged V-6 is optional.

Using cutting-edge technology, the 2010 Cadillac SRX is launching with an advanced all-wheel-drive system that delivers best-in-class levels of driver control.

The intelligent, active system continuously distributes engine drive torque between the front and rear axles, delivering optimum handling, stability and grip in all driving conditions -- from fast corners to slower curves, in dry or wet weather.

The 2010 SRX rides on a wide track that was designed to deliver a nimble, responsive driving experience. It seats five, with generous occupant and cargo room, and can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

A multi-piece shield grille and Cadillac's iconic vertical headlamps -- with light pipe technology and available adaptive forward lighting -- are the face of the SRX. They blend into a tightly wrapped, sweeping body that tapers downward at the rear, giving the vehicle a sporty profile, Dean said.

The SRX features a wide stance, minimal overhang and wheels pushed to corners. Eighteen-inch wheels are standard and 20-inch wheels are offered.
