Cadillac has given XT5 a Sport package that makes it look more aggressive than the rest of
the range. Debuting at the Chicago Auto Show, the Sport is
purely an appearance package that focuses on showing the XT5’s “dark side”
thanks to darkened exterior styling elements. Available on Luxury and Premium
Luxury trims, the limited-edition Sport package brings a gloss black grille
with Galvano surround, 20-inch aluminum wheels with Technical Gray finish, LED
headlights, DRLs and cornering lamps, clear taillamp lenses and side assist
steps.
Inside, the 2019 XT5 Sport offers sport pedals and
two color combinations: Cirrus/Jet Black with Diamond Cut aluminum trim or Jet
Black with Diamond Cut aluminum trim. Equipment-wise, the XT5 Sport
benefits from all of the features offered by the Luxury and Premium Luxury
trims. Highlights include Adaptive Remote Start, a Bose eight-speaker audio
system, heated leather front seats (heated and ventilated on Premium Luxury),
automatic heated steering wheel, and a programmable memory height power
tailgate.
The 2019 XT5 Sport also features Cadillac’s ‘user
experience system’ with an 8-inch touchscreen and a navigation option (standard
on Premium Luxury), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Cadillac
Connected Apps, and an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
Under the hood, the XT5 Sport retains the 310 hp
3.6-liter V6 that’s linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac
says the XT5 Sport Package will be offered on the SUV from spring 2019. It’ll
be a US$ 2,995 upgrade on the 2019 XT5 Luxury, and a US$ 1,995 upgrade on the 2019
XT5 Premium Luxury; the former starts at US$ 49,490 including destination.
