TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Audi Q5 crossover puts a new face on a best-selling formula that doesn’t show signs of getting old.

The 2021 Cadillac XT5 is a comfortable SUV, but competitors offer more personality and refinement.

TCC Likes

Chiseled looks
Great base engine…
…compelling performance engine too

Comfy ride
Good V-6 power
Lots of tech...

TCC Dislikes

Interior is a little bland
Plug-in hybrid fizzled for us
Not exactly revolutionary

Bland design
Quirky interior controls
