How it scores for you10 scores
A refined, top-safety luxury EV with 326-mile range and cheap running costs, but early-platform electrical gremlins and steep depreciation demand caution.
Recalled somewhat more often than cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 12 recalls was serious. About 17% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5).
About $800 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 92% of cars we track.
28 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 60% of other SUVs we track.
Roomy 5-seat midsize SUV with generous rear legroom; 28 cu ft cargo (60.8 folded) is competitive though not class-leading for the segment.
340 hp gives adequate but not sports-EV acceleration; RWD/AWD options and low center of gravity aid handling. Comfort-tuned luxury SUV, not a performance-focused Blackwing.
Modern EV with 326-mi range and Cadillac's large 33-inch curved display; supports Super Cruise on many trims. Solid infotainment reputation, though electrical complaints temper it.
Cadillac luxury SUV with quiet EV drivetrain, plush ride and upscale cabin materials; well-regarded for smooth, refined comfort in its class.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
