Test Drive Cadillac SRX since 2009 SUV
Restyled Cadillac SRX.
Restyled Cadillac SRX, though it does not look more a guest from the future, but ready to dump from any ... Cadillac SRX Patus machine. In the representation of GM, it is always a queue from journalists. There is no such crown even on Mercedes. Finally got srx and we ...This is a restyled version, it differs from the old modified interior and more modern gearbox. Everything else is still, but most importantly in its place the V-shaped eight of 4.6 liters. It develops 320 liters. p., gives 425 Nm of the moment and growls so that people from the offices look like frost. They look, of course, amateurs, and the people who know the Americans, V8. Overclocking up to hundreds for 7.2 seconds, no less than 18 liters appetite per 100 km.
18-inch discs, of course, can be replaced by 20-inch. Do I need?
Three meters of base interfere. Compromise suspension. Electronics Not for Off-Road

It's nice to feel the premium, might and main the boring salon. They say, when it is created, a new method used, in which high technologies are combined with manual operations. Commendable. The comfort created well. Softened finishing materials. Corrected the front panel. So got carried away that the emergency button was hidden and namuddered with heated seats. But everything will be blinking in comparison with the rear wiper button. I would call this button of the Savaof toggle switch, or the biblical switch. It works like this: you need to raise the index finger towards the sky and poke them into the ceiling. In this case, it is necessary to pronounce prayer from the instruction manual.
Cooking good ergonomics and luxury, the creators of the updated SRX did not even bother even raise the multimedia screen at the highest point of the front panel. In a word, a beautiful, homely cozy salon confidently flew past functionality.
Design like an attack aircraft F117 Stealth, acne, by the way, also 7.2 seconds to hundreds
This V8 wears the romantic name Northstar
Left can not
But the Cadillac always attended the shine, the power and felting beauty from the legs. Only half of his pathos dissolves on the Moscow roads, where to survive, you need to fight. Therefore, I immediately translated into the Sport mode, without which weakly feel charmed the advanced Magnetic Ride Control damping system and steering with a variable gain.
When we got to off-road, it turned out that outside the asphalt SRX is quite turning. Only the front Sve and the long almost three meters of the base were prevented. The anti-test electronics behaved in female. It agreed, it went to failure. In relations, appreciated the constancy of the accelerator and forbade to turn the wheel to the left. And right too. The steering wheel had to keep straight to fool the electronic collar.
Small fuel consumption for american insult
The multimedia screen should stand above. Is not it so?
After driving around the bumps and pits, the salon began to creak twice as much as. Probably, this is a hatch, I suggested. To test the hypothesis, opened it, and closed together with the photographer. We pushed the glass roof outside and from the inside. It was raining
Beautiful outside, cozy inside, equipped with shock absorbers with magnet neuroological fluid (like Ferrari!), Cadillac was and remains American car, and civil transport has always been a woven from contradictions. Such is his nature.
