Cadillac SRX Performance Overview

Cadillac’s SRX performance profile spans 2004 to 2012 in this dataset, covering 15 verified tests across two generations and a single fuel type: gasoline. The first-generation SRX (2004–2009) established the model’s quickest results, beginning with a 2004 V8 that ran 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and the quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds at 96.3 mph. That rear-drive-based era offered naturally aspirated V6 and Northstar V8 power, ranging from 255 to 320 hp, and the 2007 V8 matched the model’s all-time best 6.4-second 0-60 time.

The second-generation SRX, represented here from 2010 to 2012, shifted toward a different tuning balance and broader engine mix, with naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline V6s from 265 to 308 hp. Early examples slowed, with the 2010 Premium 3.0 posting the dataset’s slowest 8.6-second 0-60 run, while the 2011 Premium 2.8T improved to 7.6 seconds. By 2012, the Premium 3.6 brought the current-generation low to 7.2 seconds to 60 mph. Across all tests, the SRX averages 7.25 seconds to 60 mph and 15.55 seconds in the quarter-mile, leaving the earliest V8 models as the quickest SRXs recorded here.

How we verify Cadillac SRX performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Cadillac SRX trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
