WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW . . .

Type: SRX, Five-door, FWD / AWD five passenger tall wagon

Engines: 3.0-liter DOHC V6 (265 hp); 2.8-liter turbocharged DOHC V6 (300 hp)

Transmissions: Six-speed automatic

Market position: Cadillac’s re-born SRX is aimed at a younger and active market with sleeker styling and a more car-like look and demeanor than its predecessor. Designed to address the perceived shortcomings of the current model, the goal is to steal customers from Lexus (RX350).

Points: Based on a new front-drive platform, the 2010 Cadillac SRX is shorter, lower and decidedly more focused than its predecessor; Front- and rear-seat passengers benefit from the decision not to attempt a third row; The interior is arguably the highlight of the new vehicle; Two engines offered but the best choice is the more powerful one.

Safety: Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.

The numbers: MPG (city/hwy): 3.0 FWD, 18/25; 2.8 AWD, 15/21
