The Car Connection's Take

TCC Rating
6.0

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2023 Cadillac XT5 is a competent five-seat crossover SUV that must do battle with more polished and entertaining rivals. The 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class squares up for a final (?) gas-powered run with turbo-4 urge and available all-wheel drive.
