Cadillac launched the SRX midsize sport utility vehicle as an early 2004 model, available with a V-6 or V-8 under the hood. The 2008 model comes with an Adaptive Remote Start system, which enables drivers to start the engine, adjust the interior temperature and turn on defrosters from up to 200 feet away. Competitors include the Lexus RX 350, Acura MDX and Volvo XC90. The SRX got a new interior for 2007 and goes into 2008 with mostly minor changes.

Bridging the gap between luxury sedans and powerful SUVs, the SRX was Cadillac's first crossover — a model that features the attributes of more than one vehicle class.

Built on the same platform as Cadillac's CTS sedan, the SRX promises a low center of gravity. The automaker says this improves ride and handling "without compromising [the] driver's commanding view of the road." The SRX can be equipped with either rear- or all-wheel drive.

Cadillac promotes the driving dynamics of the SRX. The automaker's active suspension system, called Magnetic Ride Control, is optional. MRC applies electrical current to a coil in the damper's piston, thus varying the viscosity of the fluid, which holds iron particles.
