2013 Cadillac SRX Features

The headlamps seem to start out with a teardrop design in mind but confusingly end in a rectangular shape at the bottom. However, the entire front along with the well-chiseled front bumper does look quite masculine and refined at the same time.
The sides too, boast of a diagonal ridge that enhances the macho theme along with black under-guards throughout the SUV. The rear design prevents the SUV from looking clunky by sloping gently while the unique ridge at the center of the bumper and hatch along with vertical tail lamps additionally prevent this SUV from looking bland from behind.

Changes to the 2013 model include the new front grill and bumpers, 20 inch chrome alloys on the Performance and Premium versions, 18 inch aluminum alloys on the Base and Luxury versions, LED tail pipe, and new body colors. Overall, the 2013 Cadillac SRX looks quite different and eye-catching from the rest of the SUVs in the market.
