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.

very nice

No interior shots?? I am not liking the black bottom. On a Chevy, fine, but a Cadillac... sorry.

Ahmad · 08-15-2008, 12:06 AM

Not bad. Better than the current SRX.

I still wish it was named BRX.

MrMax · 08-15-2008, 12:07 AM

In a way, its good that the SRX is being downsized. If GM marketers can put the right spin on this, it could be a hit. It certainly does have a sharp look to it all its own. A definite Cadillac Art & Science identity, while making sure not to ape the styling of the CTS. It's not for me... but I like it.

I hope it does well.

When do we get interior shots?

FenwickHockey65 · 08-15-2008, 12:09 AM

Awesome!!!

Wait. How'd we get this at 10:20 when the embargo was lifted at 12:00? And how did nobody notice it?

For coverage such as this I create the threads in advance in a forum that regular members cannot view. Then all I have to do is move them and upload the pics...they show up as I upload them.

CRBoyd91 · 08-15-2008, 12:13 AM

I like how it looks more sporty now.

camaro_freak · 08-15-2008, 12:15 AM

I abolutely HATE the stupid side swoosh sheetmetal and then the weak sauce "bling" behind the front fender... looks really generic

overall though much better than the current SRX - especially the tailights... nice to GM bringing some style back to their rear end designs!

Ah I see. Interesting.

And do you think we can merge all these threads? There's like 10 of them about the same subjects already.

I like everything but the front overhang... typical FWD long.

tollytime · 08-15-2008, 12:21 AM

Very cute. Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. This is definately a designer suv for the ladies.

GM-Joe · 08-15-2008, 12:26 AM

It has excellent lines and does not look like a 'nox. I do wonder if it will dread on CTS Wagon territory?
