General Motors has expanded Cadillacâ€™s North American model lineup with the addition of two exciting new models -- the 2010 model year CTS Sport Wagon and SRX crossover.

Cadillac announced today that the 2010 SRX Crossover, scheduled to begin production this summer, will be priced aggressively starting at $34,155.

The all-new SRX launches into the strong luxury crossover vehicle segment, a category that now accounts for nearly one-fourth of all luxury vehicles sold in the U.S. market. The SRX features new downsized and fuel efficient engines in a completely redesigned vehicle that delivers a dynamic alternative in terms of visual appeal and driving character. Key competitors include the Lexus RX, Acura MDX, and BWW X3 and X5 SUVs.

The 2010 SRX is designed for efficient performance, including the choice of two high-tech
six-cylinder engines that are new to Cadillac - the smallest-displacement engines it offers in
North America. A new, 3.0L direct injected V-6 engine is standard and a new,
2.8L turbocharged V-6 is optional.

“We believe the Cadillac SRX offers emotional appeal to a segment previously devoid of much of that,” says Steve Shannon, executive director of marketing for Cadillac. “At the same time, it also has very practical new features such as advanced All-Wheel-Drive, and an efficient standard 3.0-liter Direct Injection V6 engine. And with an entry price of $34,155 the new SRX presents an attractive offer to consumers, while taking on the traditional segment leader aggressively.”

The new CTS Sport Wagon offers the same design and technical features of Cadillac’s centerpiece model, the CTS sport sedan – but in a wagon body style that effectively doubles the car’s cargo space. The new Sport Wagon includes the same 3.0-liter Direct Injection engine that serves as the standard engine in the new SRX. In the Sport Wagon, highway fuel economy is estimated to reach 28 mpg.
