Cadillac SVX Luxirous Vehicle

Cadillac SVX

Looking for a cheap and simple used family crossover?
I’ll do you a favour and tell you to sign off here. This week’s used vehicle review will focus on the first-generation Cadillac SRX, which is a machine that takes the higher-end approach to family hauling.
Like many of its competitors, the SRX existed somewhere between a wagon, minivan and SUV. It was available with six- or eight-cylinder power, two or all-wheel drive and plenty of goodies. It was on sale in Canada from 2004 to 2009 inclusive, and has now been replaced by an all-new model that launched for the 2010 model year.
Standard for the flexible SRX was a 3.6-litre V6 with around 280 horsepower, a five- or six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive.

 Just a few weeks ago we reported on GM deciding to ditch the 2.8-liter turbocharged engine in the Cadillac SRX and stick with its naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V-6 as the luxury crossover’s sole engine option. We now have an update on those reports, with news today claiming the 3.0-liter V-6 will also be replaced with a single 3.6-liter V-6 codenamed the LFX.

You may recall that the LFX is also reported to feature in the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, and now GM Inside News is claiming the engine is also destined for the 2012 Cadillac SRX.

The new V-6 engine’s full codename is “LFX 3.6L SIDI, DOHC, VVT, E85 MAX, Alum GM”, which means it will displace 3.6-liters and feature spark ignition direct injection technology, dual overhead cams, variable valve timing and E85 flex-fuel capability.
