How Many Miles Per Gallon Does the 2023 Cadillac XT5 Get?

 
Is the 2023 Cadillac XT5 fuel-efficient? Yes! For a model in the luxury midsize SUV segment, the 2023 Cadillac XT5 gas mileage of 22/29 city/highway is above average. You’ll go the furthest on every gallon of fuel when you configure the XT5 with front-wheel drive and the standard 4-cylinder engine. All models come standard with an automatic 9-speed transmission.

Opting for all-wheel drive or the available V6 engine will cost you a few miles per gallon. So, exactly how many miles per gallon does the 2023 Cadillac XT5 get with AWD, the V6 engine option, or both? Find the fuel efficiency details you’re looking for in the guide below from Sullivan Cadillac.

2023 Cadillac XT5 Gas Mileage By Configuration

You already know that with FWD, you’ll benefit from better 2023 Cadillac XT5 MPG specs and fuel savings over time. Is FWD the right choice, or should you forgo the fuel savings and choose an AWD model?

Front-wheel drive systems use less fuel by limiting power to the front axle, while AWD systems enhance traction by sending power to both axles. For the vast majority of Lady Lake and The Villages-area drivers, front-wheel drive offers plenty of control on a wider range of road surfaces, even in wintry weather. The added capability of all-wheel drive is most useful for off-road circumstances or especially tough driving conditions.

With the standard 4-cylinder engine, the difference in the 2023 Cadillac XT5 MPG with FWD compared to AWD is relatively small. You’ll actually lose more efficiency by equipping the V6 engine, as you can see from the specs below:

Standard 2.0L 4-cylinder Turbocharged Engine

• 2023 Cadillac XT5 MPG with FWD – 24/22/29 combined/city/highway MPG
• 2023 Cadillac XT5 MPG with AWD – 23/21/27 combined/city/highway MPG

Available 3.6L V6 Engine

• 2023 Cadillac XT5 MPG with FWD – 21/19/26 combined/city/highway MPG
• 2023 Cadillac XT5 MPG with AWD – 21/18/25 combined/city/highway MPG
