First Look At 2010 Cadillac SRX

Looking an awful lot like the Provoq concept car that inspired it, Cadillac has offer up a few images in what the company calls a "sneak peak" at the 2010 SRX crossover.

The upcoming addition of the CTS Sport Wagon to the Caddy family has allowed designers to lean a little more to the SUV side of the crossover arrangement with this SRX, losing a bit of the high wagon feel that the current car has always conveyed. The car most likely rides on the same Theta crossover platform that underpins the Saturn Vue and the upcoming Saab 9-4X, and is a good bet to be offered in both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations.

Cadillac is saving all the juicy details about the SRX for its launch at an upcoming major auto show – Detroit wouldn’t be a bad guess here – but has provided us with a few photos in the meantime. Check them out in the gallery above.

Sneak Preview: 2010 Cadillac SRX Crossover

All-New, Next-Generation SRX Coming in 2009

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Today Cadillac provided a special sneak preview of the next-generation SRX Crossover, a 2010 model that will launch worldwide in mid-2009.The all-new SRX is intended to bring a more dynamic alternative to the heart of the luxury crossover segment, featuring a fresh iteration of Cadillac’s signature design language.

“The next-generation SRX is the result of the continued exploration and refining of Cadillac design language, with the goal of creating dramatic presence in the luxury crossover space,” says Clay Dean, Cadillac design director.

The all-new SRX debuts at major global auto shows later this year, at which time complete details will be released. The 2010 model will replace the current SRX Crossover, which launched in 2004 as a key component of Cadillac’s ongoing product renaissance and global expansion. This next-generation crossover is similar in styling and proportion to Cadillac’s Provoq Concept that appeared in many auto shows during 2008.

The all-new production model is being developed to achieve excellent driving dynamics and wet-weather traction, with an elegantly modern cabin designed to accommodate five passengers and ample cargo.

“The next-generation SRX, along with the new CTS Sport Wagon, showcases Cadillac taking its dramatic design into new directions, particularly cars and crossovers that are the right size at the right time for today’s luxury consumers,” said Jim Taylor, Cadillac general manager.

One thing I don't understand about this is the venting behind the front wheels. It seems to miss the mark on a Cadillac. I do like the more rounded look, however.

Reilly, funny thing you commented on that at the exact time I was writing my comment.. I completely agree with you. Remove those side vents and the car looks like a very professional and serious looking crossover!

Great article Seyth,

I really like its design, its fresh yet still Cadillac. However I am really not a fan of Cadillac using those side vents with that angular line running up the side of both doors, it reminds me of the tacky Ford Focus chrome side vents that everyone is running with since Land Rover first introduced them..

I really like the design -- it's like a crisper Infiniti FX.

I like the FX better but this isn't bad at all even though I'm not a SUV guy.

The fender grill is just silly. I am surprised Caddy is still perusing this segment. I don't think it fits well with Caddy buyers, but I'm sure they would love to change their demographics.

It can be called small SUV, maybe due to the increasing gas price.
"Cross" may be an new idea to share the market of big SUV, cross polo, cross touran, cross QASHQAI(NISSAN), SPORTAGE (KIA)

I mean in China.
