"This turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 leads the class of midsize luxury utes in terms of ultimate torque and horsepower output. Its estimated output of 300 horsepower is 40 hp more than the
BMW X3's 3.0-liter inline-6, 32 hp more than the
Mercedes-Benz GLK's 3.5-liter V6, 30 hp more than the
Audi Q5's 3.2-liter V6, 25 hp more than the
Lexus RX 350's 3.5-liter V6 and 19 hp more than the
Volvo XC60's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6. Not too shabby.
Cadillac reckons that the new turbo motor will chop a full second off the run of the 3.0-liter SRX to 60 mph. We have clocked the SRX 3.0 to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds (7.9 seconds
with 1 foot of rollout as on a drag strip). So given the same testing regimen, the turbo should easily break under the 8-second mark and hit the low 15s in the quarter-mile. And that will make it competitive with the best in the class."
