Utility

Convenience
The Highlander Hybrid's fuel tank will need to be replenished a bit more often than the unit in the Cadillac SRX.

Comfort

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Cadillac than the Toyota Highlander Hybrid because of its larger tank. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid and the Cadillac SRX compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Cadillac SRX packs quite a punch and will knock the Toyota down a few rungs. On the other hand, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Highlander Hybrid and the Cadillac SRX likely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Cadillac SRX's engine is a little smaller than the Toyota Highlander Hybrid's, but not terribly so. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Cadillac isn't much more powerful than the Toyota.

Warranty
