The 2007 Cadillac SRX Base was introduced to compete in the sport utility market. The Base is a member of a series of one trim levels for the SRX which include Base. The four-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Cadillac. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.

Cadillac SRX Engine Specs

Cadillac SRX Engine Specs: The SRX Base comes outfitted with a 3.6 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 24 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a General Motors 5-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Cadillac.

The SRX uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The truck uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the SRX Base are 72.60 inches wide by 194.90 inches long. It sits a comfortable 67.80 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 116.40 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The listed retail price in 2007 (MSRP) was $37,225, with an invoice cost of $34,805. This price is above average of the industry average price for a four-door Sport Utility.

Fuel Efficiency

The 2007 SRX's traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection style of design. The fuel tank holds 20.00 gallons.

The SRX Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of fifteen in-city driving and twenty two when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was exceptional.

We Think...

The 2006 model began the promise of the Cadillac SRX. The 2007 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Cadillac hopes that the SRX Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
