The 2022 Cadillac XT5 is rated as one of the most reliable 3-year-old SUVs by Consumer Reports according to the organization’s yearly, early-December article on the subject, though it falls slightly short of competing models in a few other regards.
CR rates 3-year-old SUVs and crossovers such as the Cadillac XT5 because this gives sufficient time for the price to drop significantly, but the vehicles still boast many of the features found on the most recent model year.
Three years of feedback on the real-world performance of these models also gives solid data on which to base reliability ratings. The 2022 Cadillac XT5 gets a rating of 77 out of 100, effectively on a level with the most reliable of its competitors, the Acura ADX with a 78 rating. The BMW X3 and Lexus NX scored 74 and 66 respectively, while the Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5 were in the low 40s.
The Cadillac XT5 is also noted as a safe vehicle, with a “Good” rating from various IIHS crash tests and five-star safety ratings from NHTSA crash tests. Owner satisfaction with the crossover was ranked at 4 out of 5 overall, with driving satisfaction rated at 79/100 and comfort at a top-end 91/100. Value was far less at 38/100.
Nevertheless, CR says the XT5 “isn’t as rewarding to drive as a German luxury SUV, nor does it pamper owners like a Lexus RX.” High points of the model include a “luxurious interior,” “roomy rear seat,” and “supportive front seats.” The 2022 Cadillac XT5 was also one of the most reliable midsize SUVs according to a 2021 report. The XT5 was rated as one of the most dependable vehicles overall, and CR recommended the 2023 Cadillac XT5 as well.
The study looks at data about 3-year-old crossovers and SUVs, with details of approximately 330,000 individual vehicles used to determine reliability. The standard inclusion of advanced safety features also helps to improve the study’s rating of a specific model.
Overall, the XT5 crossover is a recommended purchase from Consumer Reports for the 2019 through 2025 model years, with the exception of the 2024 XT5.

They're binning this for... the Lyriq? Suicide.
The downvotes are ppl who want to spend big money for small reliability. I refer you to many articles at GM Authority regarding this. Downvotes in the face of facts make me laugh. Go ahead, keep identifying yourselves!
