Sure, it’s not a revolutionary* vehicle, but you could’ve thrown in another star.

It’s hard to overstate how important it is to have several BMW badges placed about your car, and the XT5 doesn’t have any. Cadillac really needs to pick up on these little details if they want to compete, and start including BMW badges.

In fairness, Cadillac’s stupid new names are worth a couple stars off.

Yeah, that’s just the typical attitude here.
I’ve not driven one so I can’t offer a counterpoint to much of it but “it’s expensive!”, no it isn’t. It’s about the same as a VW Touareg. “It’s gutless!”, it’s a petrol V6, of course it’s going to have higher horsepower and lower torque than a turbo-diesel. Properly crap review.

Yeah, but this is the magazine that sacked James May over an incredibly funny joke, so I take nothing they say seriously.

2 stars is about right.
1 for starting and driving.
1 for having a warranty.

The fact that the snobbo put quotes around iconic when describing the Escalade pretty much invalidates the whole review for me. As much as you don’t want to admit it Mr. European, the Escalade is pretty iconic.
Also I've driven an XT5 and it's very nice. My aunt chose it over an X3 ending her run of owning nothing but BMWs for the last 10 years.

Maybe they are upset that their locally owned mass market auto industry went bye-bye some time ago.
