Cadillac XT5 sales decreased 10.5 percent to 13,278 units in the first quarter of 2019. The results are rather concerning, given the car buyers’ ongoing fascination with crossovers and the rise in popularity of the CUV body style. So in what could be an effort to flip the first quarter trend in April, a new Cadillac discount takes $2,000 off all models of the 2019 XT5 crossover, making it the largest incentive in recent history on the crossover SUV.
Incentives
The Cadillac discount on the XT5 for April 2019Â is as follows:
- Cash offer (for current lessees): $2,000 cash for current GM lessees
- To qualify, buyer must show proof of current GM lease through Ally, US Bank, or GM Financial. This offer is not available with some other offers.
- Purchase allowance (for everyone): $1,000 purchase allowance
For reference, here are the 2019 XT5 trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs:
- Standard – $42,690
- Luxury – $49,490
- Premium Luxury – $55,190
- Platinum – $66,890
Applied to a 2019 XT5 Platinum model with a starting MSRP of $66,890, the $2,000 discount brings the starting price to a slightly more modest $64,890. Meanwhile, the $1,000 discount brings the starting price of the base Standard model to $41,690.

About Cadillac XT5
The Cadillac XT5 is a premium luxury crossover that replaced the Cadillac SRX in the Cadillac range. The XT5 slots between the compact Cadillac XT4 and upcoming three-row Cadillac XT6 in the Cadillac lineup.
Currently in its first generation, the XT5 was introduced for the 2017 model year. The vehicle is based on the regular-length wheelbase variant of the GM C1 platform shared with the second-generation GMC Acadia and upcoming, future Chevrolet Blazer. A longer-wheelbase variant of the same platform underpins the second-gen Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave.
For the 2018 model year, the XT5 received several new exterior colors, a new "base" trim level that offers all-wheel-drive, the Rear Seat Reminder technology, and various new accessories.
For the 2019 model year, the XT5 deletes four existing exterior colors to make room for four new ones, while making a couple package-level changes: the Driver Awareness Package becomes standard on the Luxury model while the Driver Assist Package becomes standard on the Platinum model. Two sets of 20-inch wheels become available. In addition, the 2019 XT5 receives a new, second-generation wireless smartphone charging system that is higher power is now compatible with Apple iPhones. Finally, Provence leather replaces micro-suede on the mid-panel of the instrument panel.
The 2020 model year will deliver a mid cycle update that includes revised trim level structure (adopting the Cadillac Y trim level strategy), slight revisions to the exterior design, a few small updates to the interior, and the introduction of a 9-speed automatic transmission in place of the 8-speed unit on the 2017-2019 models.
The XT5 is produced across the following GM plants globally:
- GM Spring Hill factory in Tennessee operated by GM USA supplying North America, Middle East, Europe, and Russia
- Cadillac China Jinqiao factory operated by Shanghai-GM supplying China

A 10% drop is not good news , but if shoppers are looking to the internet more and more to gather as much information on a car before their purchase two things could be at work here . One , some shoppers may be waiting for the new refresh on the XT5 coming this summer and two , Cadillac needs to start adding the safty features to the lower trim models . There are other automakers in this segment that offer most of the new most popular systems on all trim levels . Especially on the FWD Luxury model which is the bread and butter for the car .
I agree, but unlike us who watch the automotive news, most consumers have no idea of refreshed models until they come out. The XT5 is in 5th place there is not a large margin in the sales gap other than the RX and GLC. The salesmen want the deal now, most wont tell them it’s an updated XT5 coming so wait a few months.
Three, add supercruise. Four An optional engine like the 3.0TT would be nice.
If the top platinum is really worth over 24 grand more than the base model, then I can’t see how the base could be called a luxury SUV
people may be realizing the penny pinchers at Cadillac have cheapened or have not omitted certain safety items from a model of this class. all exterior trim does not look like chrome ,it looks like some aluminum foil looks cheap–I had better carpeting in my 1978 cutlass– cheap Cadillac shield on front fenders are all silver ( what happen to the colors did they run out of paint ?) where are the directional ‘s in the mirrors , ( not available -I thought this was a Cadillac ) , even a Equinox is trimmed better .in the long run penny pinching hurts sales like the numbers show.
