Joining the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show will be another 5-passenger/5-door crossover – the 2010 Cadillac SRX. The 2010 SRX design stays true to the Cadillac Provoq concept that we saw at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show last year.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX will be offered with a choice of two V6 engines. The entry-level 3.0L V6 direct-injection will make a total of 260-hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. The range-topper 2.8L V6 turbocharged V6 makes 300-hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines will be mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. No official fuel-economy figures have been released as of yet but GM says that the 2010 SRX should offer mid-20s on the highway.
