How it scores for you10 scores
Three usable rows and a hushed cabin in a sensibly sized package, trading any driving sparkle or standout tech for its family-first brief.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 4 of its 12 recalls were serious. About 2% 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $3,100 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 28% of cars we track.
12.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 3% of other SUVs we track.
Genuine seven-seat layout and 78.7 cu ft max cargo, though the third row suits kids best.
Soft, deliberate three-row crossover; the 310-hp V6 is adequate and nothing more.
Straightforward infotainment with CarPlay; lacks the wow-factor screens of newer Cadillacs.
Quiet, smooth-riding family hauler with comfortable first and second rows.
Luxury brands like Cadillac tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 4,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
