Unlike its bigger brother, 2010 Cadillac Escalade, 2010 SRX isn't such a big success. This, mainly, comes from the fact that it uses a lot smaller and less powerful engine. It comes with standard 3.0 V6 engine that produces 265 hp, or, optional, 2.8 turbocharged version. The second version has significantly larger power output of 300 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque. But don't get mislead by numbers. They tell their story, off course, but it's not the only story this car has to tell.

First of all, this car wasn't built to challenge Escalade and its supremacy, it is a crossover SUV. This means that it was built a lot more like a passenger car and a lot less like a truck. This would explain power deficiency, and absence of third row of seats. Since it was not meant to be heavy duty work machine, car dynamics and handling had a lot more space to improve. When it comes to driving, you'll, definetly, feel a lot comfort driving SRX turbocharged versions since they come with all wheel drive systems, and adaptive suspension that has been tuned in sporty manner. Every version of this car has a nice palette of standard equipment. Even the base models have eight channel audio, AC divided in two zones and 18'' alloy wheels. Higher levels have it all. They come with sunroof, xenon headlamps, and lots and lots of other stuff.

To conclude the story of SRX, we have to mention that it has a lot of problems keeping up with its competitors on the road. The car seems to be just to heavy, even front wheel drive models are as heavy as competition's AWDs, and this is biggest downside of this car. But the „I got it all“ style in Premium and Performance models is nice way to replace that lack of power.
