The 3-row hauler slots between Cadillac’s XT5 and the full-size Escalade and is about the size of a Ford Explorer or Chevrolet Traverse. While not one of the better choices in the premium luxury SUV class what makes it particularly compelling this year is the availability of Cadillac’s Super Cruise hands-free highway driving assist option.
