Cadillac SRX Prices: V6, $38,690; V8, $46,995

By Dave Guilford
Automotive News / May 14, 2003

DETROIT -- Cadillac has set the base price of its 2004 SRX mid-sized luxury SUV at $38,690, including a $695 destination charge.

That price applies to the version equipped with a 3.6-liter, 260-hp V-6. Another version powered by a 4.6-liter, 320-hp V-8 will start at $46,995, including a $695 destination charge.

The SRX will appear in dealerships this fall. It will be built on General Motors' rwd Sigma luxury architecture at the Lansing (Mich.) Grand River plant.

Both versions offer power third-row seats and all-wheel drive as options.

Cadillac is late-to-market with its crossover, and they obviously don't feel the need to have a price advantage. That is just the sort of sloth and arrogance I'd expect from the Cadillac brand.

That must be the "just-kidding" GM price. Hey, when do the rebates start?

I think that price seems about right for that amount of SUV you get compared to other Lux SUVs, at least this one is a true RWD unlike the Lexus and Acura FWD minivan based "luxury" SUVs

While the SRX is one of my favorite Suv/crossovers its price is a little high. The new Lexus RX is selling like hotcakes but infinitis's FX34/45 are selling slow and often they are being sold/leased for $4000 under MSRP an in some cases they are selling for invoice. My local Infinti dealers has over 125 Fx's on the lot and they are not moving. Even the Porsche Cayenne's sales will most likely tank after all those who wanted it get it and the newness wears off since it looks like a Hyundai Santa Fe on steriods.

I'd say that the price is just right and they are not really late to the game either. There are only one or 2 others in it's segment and they just came out so they are right there.

I absolutely love the SRX. That price is a tad high though if you consider the V8 almost climbs into Escalade territory. Oh well....the people who purchase these won't be caring about price anyhow. It's nice to see GM priced the regular Joe out of a nice piece of automobile.

Cadillac is supposed to be the top top the best of GM and of course the most expensive. That's why it won't be at the price range of us Regular Joes driving Camaro's And Trans Ams. For that we got CHEVY!

I've seen several driving around, in fact I followed one in traffic for about 3 miles a few days back. Nice vehicle, very new and energetic good for Caddy and GM. While it wasn't hitting my sweet spot I can see it selling well. Compared to the Lincoln Avaitor this is head and shoulders above it. Atleast it doesn't look like a Envoy!

When I saw the SRX on the cover of (I believe Motor Trend) a couple months ago I began salivating. This vehicle looks so good in print, I can imagine how it looks in person.

well most SUV's are FWD, like the Rav4, CR-V (drove my old boss's couple of times and it is a POS no proper balance at all, ie too tall)

Very few are actually rear wheel drive ala tahoe/suburban, because they are based on the truck platform others are not...
