Engine options included the {{Convert|255|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} High-Feature V6 and the 4.6 L {{Convert|320|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Northstar V8. It was based on the GM Sigma platform and came with a five or six-speed automatic transmission; rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive and MagneRide were available. As a Sigma platform vehicle, the first generation SRX had a longitudinally mounted front engine, longitudinal transmission mounted behind the engine, and a rear drive differential. The AWD option was implemented with a transfer case mounted to the rear of the transmission, with a propeller shaft forward to a front differential to power the front wheels.

An all-leather interior and curtain side airbags were standard in both models. Heated front seats and wood interior trim were standard in the V8 and available as options in the V6. DVD, sunroof, navigation system, and a power foldable third-row seat were all available options. However the third row was no longer available for the 2010 model year on the SRX.

The base price was US$38,880 for the V6 and US$45,880 for the V8 version, with an MSRP of US$37,995.{{cite web |title=2004 Cadillac SRX Review |url=https://www.edmunds.com/cadillac/srx/2004/review/ |website=edmunds.com |access-date=25 March 2025}}

The SRX won Car and Driver's Five Best Trucks "luxury SUV" award for 2004, 2005 and 2006 and was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award for 2004.

The first generation SRX never had the V Series performance model available.

The first generation SRX was available through the 2009 model year.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found the 2005-08 SRX worst in its class for driver fatalities with a death rate of 63 compared to its class average of 23.

The second generation SRX followed the Provoq concept presented at the 2008 Detroit NAIAS auto show, using a variation of the Epsilon II platform.

The production SRX debuted in January 2009 with the choice of a 3.0 liter V6 with direct injection derived from the 3.6 liter unit in the Cadillac CTS, or a 2.8 liter turbocharged V6.{{cite web|first=Paul|last=Tan|date=January 6, 2009|url=http://paultan.org/archives/2009/01/06/2010-cadillac-srx-with-30l-v6-or-28l-turbo-v6/ |title=2010 Cadillac SRX: with 3.0L V6 or 2.8L turbo V6}} — and a base MSRP of $34,155.{{cite web|first=Tony |last=Borroz | date=May 27, 2009|url=http://www.automoblog.net/2009/05/27/caddy-rolls-out-all-new-srx-crossover-cts-sport-wagon/|title=Cadillac Rolls Out All-New SRX Crossover|publisher=Automoblog.net}}

As it used the Epsilon platform, the second generation SRX drivetrain was a front transverse mounted V6 engine with a transverse mounted transaxle powering the front wheels. The AWD option was implemented with a power take-off output of the transaxle, and a propeller shaft to a rear differential to power the rear wheels.

2016 was the last model year for the SRX as Cadillac replaced it by the XT5 in the spring of 2016 as a 2017 model.{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2015/06/25/cadillac-xt5-uncovered-spy-shots/#image-2|title=Cadillac XT5 caught uncovered during photo shoot|date=25 June 2015 |publisher=Autoblog|access-date=June 26, 2015}}

= 2011 changes =

For the 2011 model year, a rear backup camera and Cadillac Premium Care Maintenance program became standard and full keyless access became standard on Luxury and Performance models.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kbb.com/cadillac/srx/2011/|title=2011 Cadillac SRX {{!}} Pricing, Ratings & Reviews {{!}} Kelley Blue Book|website=Kbb.com|language=en|access-date=2019-06-04}} In January 2011, General Motors discontinued production of the 2.8 liter turbo-charged V6 engine in the SRX, citing poor sales numbers. Less than 10 percent of SRX buyers opted for the turbo-charged engine. This left the naturally aspirated 3.0 liter V6 as the only engine available for the remainder of the 2011 model year.{{cite web|url=http://gmauthority.com/blog/2011/01/cadillac-srx-turbo-charged-model-discontinued/|title=Report: GM Discontinues Turbo-Charged Cadillac SRX|author=Alex Luft|date=2011-01-01|publisher=GM Authority|access-date=2011-01-01}}

= 2012 changes =

For 2012, a 3.6 liter V6 with E85 flex-fuel capability was offered in the turbo V6's place. The six-speed transmission received an Eco feature for improved fuel economy. Other additions include Xenon Blue exterior color and ebony interior. Also, Bluetooth hands-free technology became standard on all trims and a heated steering wheel became available.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kbb.com/cadillac/srx/2012/|title=2012 Cadillac SRX {{!}} Pricing, Ratings & Reviews {{!}} Kelley Blue Book|website=Kbb.com|language=en|access-date=2019-06-04}}

= 2013 facelift =

For the 2013 model year, all trim levels of the SRX receive an infotainment system marketed as the "Cadillac User Experience" (CUE) as well as new safety features and active noise cancellation technology. Additional interior features included standard HD radio, Bluetooth audio streaming, additional USB ports, SD card slot and 12-volt outlet, revised headphone and remote design for rear seat entertainment, and revised shift knob, steering wheel, and instrument cluster. The front styling and faux fender vents were revised. Three new colors: Evolution Green Metallic, Glacier Blue Metallic and Silver Coast Metallic were added, and wheels options were revised.{{Cite web|url=https://media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2012/Apr/0402_srx.html|title=Cadillac Enhances Technology and Design on 2013 SRX|date=2012-04-02|website=media.gm.com|language=en|access-date=2019-06-04}}

For 2016, Cadillac removed the Majestic Plum Metallic color.

=Safety recall=

In May 2010, General Motors recalled about 550 of its 2010 Cadillac SRXs with the turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 because of a possible engine failure if owners use regular gas and drove aggressively. The automaker said the fuel-filler lid and owner's manual warn that the engine should not be worked hard if regular fuel is used. Failures in several vehicles owned by GM and one external user led it to discover that using regular fuel and driving hard could cause possible internal engine damage including connecting rod failures. The automaker decided to conduct a "customer satisfaction program" to recalibrate the engine computer, but the NHTSA considered engine failures to be a safety issue and argued that a recall was required. The 2.8 liter V6 was permanently removed from production after the 2010 model year due to safety recalls and poor sales. 3.0L V6 was the only engine option available for the 2011 model year. The 3.0L V6 was replaced by a 3.6L V6 engine for the 2012 model year as the only engine option available.{{cite web|url=http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/28/lamborghini-recalling-murcielagos/#more-56531 |title=Lamborghini Recalling Murciélagos |author=Christopher Jensen |publisher=The New York Times - Wheels blog |date=2010-05-28 |access-date=2010-06-01 }}{{cite web|url=http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/can-using-the-wrong-octane-fuel-lead-to-disaster/ |date=2010-03-30 |title=Can Using the Wrong Octane Fuel Lead to Disaster? |author=Paul Stenquist |publisher=The New York Times - Wheels blog |access-date=2010-06-01 }}
