2017 Cadillac XT5 Gets First Video Teaser, Official Photos.

Here’s another quick look at the all-new 2017 Cadillac XT5, the successor to today's SRX, which will debut at the Dubai and Los Angeles auto shows in November.

Cadillac has released a teaser video called “Parallels: Public School,” in which we can see designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne from New York City’s Public School fashion label as they check out the 2017 XT5. Cadillac has a new fashion partnership with Public School, which will use the car as inspiration for a new clothing line. The partnership will also see the luxury crossover debut at venues around the world with the NYC-based fashion designers.

During a private kickoff event, Public School announced it would debut its Pre-Fall collection on the runway in Dubai, in collaboration with the launch of the 2017 Cadillac XT5. The designers will also create an XT5-inspired capsule collection for the special invited guests at the Dubai show in November.

“This is a new way for two American brands to join forces, share a passion for design and grow globally. For Cadillac, it gives new meaning to being a patron of the arts,” said Andrew Smith, Cadillac executive director of Global Design.

Unfortunately, the video doesn’t show too much: we only get to see close-ups of a seat, a steering wheel and materials used for the new crossover, before the front end of the XT5 surfaces in the final scene. Fortunately, Cadillac has also released some press shots which reveal the shape of the car.

The XT5 is reportedly based on GM’s new Chi platform that is expected to underpin a number of the company’s future crossovers, including the three-row Cadillac crossover to sit under the big, truck-based Escalade.

The 2017 Cadillac XT5 should be available with some of the engines destined for the CT6 sedan and other future models, including the updated version of GM’s 3.6-liter V6.

XT5 in 3 to 3-1/2 weeks? Dubai show starts November 10th I believe, but press days could be a day or so earlier. Hopefully we get some kind of tease before that.
What size is the XT5? BMW X3 or X5 in comparison!

Oh, I already made a pun thread, do you want to FOLGERS into mine? I see a ray of sunshine here; ARABICA'use I thought I was the only one who liked puns! Just give me a 'Yay Bob' (not a 'NABOB'!), and we can really have some fun!

It won't compete with it, but closer to X5.

But the closest sized competition is going to be MKX/RX.

That is the size I am looking at! I have to see the XT5 in person, probably in a car show before I express any personal opinions unless it is grossly flawed at the release like the CTS was!

I don't see why you think the cts flawed?
Speaking of which Yahoo had a great review of the CTS yesterday. I think it was Digital trends? Or something, but it was beyond glowing. The Reviewer mentioned how everywhere he went people stopped to comment on how good looking the car was. Still trying to relocate the article. It shows that Cadillac is clearly not promoting the vehicle correctly if so many admire the CTS, but so few actually buy/lease one.

Most people can't afford a cts! I think that's most of the problem.
I had coffee made from beans crapped out by a Civit cat in Indonesia this summer. I think they call it Lowak coffee. Apparently people pay a fortune for it. It tasted like coffee.
You should try Black Ivory coffee. No wimpy civets are harmed...elephants do the dirty work!

The CTS rear quarter panel does not look like it goes with the rest of the sedan. It appears to bulky to me. I think the upcoming CT6 has the exact same design language in the rear quarter panel too. Very disappointed in Cadillac new design!

I totally disagree, I really think you guys pull this stuff out of thin air trying to find ways to cut down a GM product! When I look at a cts I see a great looking car, great proportions, great body lines! Nothing looks out of place to me!

So you take one thing about a car that you don't like and consider the car a failure?

Good, stick with Audi then.

I am in the market for a new vehicle! I have not decide yet if I want a SUV or another sedan! I leaning towards a SUV since I never owned one before! But the upcoming E-Class is very tempting!
Sorry but the E class is junk! I know a guy who has one and he can't wait to get rid of it
I have a SRX and I love the new XT5! It is exactly what I want in the newest GEN III SUV! :)

Every one is entitled to their own opinion I guess. Me personally. . I think the CTS is so much better looking than that Jellybean in your avatar

Don't bother. Harry always has SOME reason for not liking a Cadillac. I doubt he would ever seriously consider one.

Yet many can afford the A6, 535i, E350 if you look what luxury cars are on the roadways but very rare you see a current model CTS!
