I hear some chatter on the social networks that the Cadillac SRX seems the same as the Saturn Vue.\u00a0\u00a0 They are not the same, and I would like to explain how they differ:<\/p>\n

1) Chassis<\/strong>:\u00a0 The new Cadillac SRX is on an evolved Theta platform, sometimes referred to as a\u00a0 premium Theta-Epsilon Chassis, and has a 110.5″ wheelbase.\u00a0 The Vue is on the original Theta chassis and has a 106″ wheelbase. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Differences<\/strong>:\u00a0 more premium components in the Cadillac, Cadillac is longer wheelbase for better ride and more interior space.<\/p>\n

2) Powertrain<\/strong>: The new Cadillac SRX offers either a 3L Direct Injected DOHV VVT LF1 V6, or a 2.8L Turbo DI V6. The Vue offers a variety of engines, the 2.4L LE5<\/em> I4, 2.4L LAT<\/em> I4, 3.5L LZ4<\/em> V6, 3.6L LY7<\/em> V6, or 3.6L LCS<\/em> V6.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Differences<\/strong>:\u00a0 The two vehicles have different engine choices available; both of the Cadillac choices are more powerful, premium engines.<\/p>\n

3) Exterior<\/strong>:\u00a0 Visually the Cadillac SRX and the Saturn Vue share the same configuration of any mid-size SUV, or CUV.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Differences<\/strong>:\u00a0 The Cadillac SRX clearly shows modern Cadillac styling with sharper features, and a more formal, elegant appearance.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>:\u00a0 The Cadillac SRX is on a different, premium chassis, offers different, more powerful engines, and looks visually different — more appealing than a Saturn Vue.<\/p>\n
