The 2012 Cadillac SRX with its new 3.6 liter ‘LFX’ V6 will hit the showrooms in August, starting at $36,060 including $875 destination charge.
The main highlight of the 2012 SRX is of course the new 308-horsepower 3.6 liter direct-injection V6 engine, the 6-speed HydraMatic automatic transmission to maximize economy. The 265 lb.-ft. of torque (359 Nm) of that engine is distributed between all four wheels using an advanced All Wheel Drive system with electronic limited slip rear differential.
The car is also very feature-rich with items like HID headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting, Bose 5.1 surround sound with navigation, a full-color LCD Driver Info Center, and a rear-view camera system. OnStar is standard and features myCadillac and OnStar RemoteLink mobile apps and Stolen Vehicle Assistance.
