Front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts are included starting on the Luxury trim level. The OnStar system includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance and turn-by-turn navigation. The 2015 Cadillac SRX comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. The Audi Q5 and BMW X3 are two other front runners here, offering athletic handling, classy interiors and available diesel engines. The Volvo XC60 is a stylish, family-friendly choice as well, with a selection of powerful and fuel-efficient engines available. The best overall value in this class is the roomy Acura RDX, which also comes standard with V6 power and undercuts the SRX's pricing. But you'll definitely want to shop around. Within the small luxury crossover segment, we think taking a Cadillac SRX for a test-drive is a good idea. The advantage isn't as great as you might think - rival turbocharged four-cylinder engines can still be plenty quick and get better fuel economy - but if you want a proven powertrain, the SRX delivers. The SRX is also one of the few picks in its class to have a V6 engine as standard equipment. It feels planted and confident around turns, yet still provides a comfy ride over broken pavement. More positively, we like the way this Caddy drives. But this futuristic layout can respond slowly to touch inputs, the "haptic" feedback that lets you know you've pressed something is often delayed, and some folks will likely find these controls clumsier than using a more conventional control layout. It employs a central touchscreen display surrounded by other touch-type controls that require you to tap or slide your finger as if you were using a smartphone. One area of concern with the SRX is a common one throughout the Cadillac lineup: the CUE (Cadillac User Experience) electronics interface.

The latter now even include 4G WiFi capability, as well as the available "safety alert driver seat" that vibrates on either the right or left side to alert you to potential hazards on either side of the vehicle, such as when backing out of a parking spot in a busy shopping center.

The SRX has both of those bases covered with its aggressive and chiseled good looks and its abundance of high-tech goodies. Other requirements for this segment are sharp styling and cutting-edge features. And fighting for a piece of this large pie is the 2015 Cadillac SRX.

A roomy and handsome cabin, generous cargo capacity, refined driving dynamics and a sure-footed nature in inclement weather are the key reasons these rigs are so popular. Compact and midsize crossover SUVs account for a healthy percentage of most premium brands' sales.
