📚 Vehicle History

Cadillac Legacy:

One of America's oldest luxury automotive brands, known for innovation and comfort.

Srx First Generation:

Launched in 2004, initially as a larger, more truck-like SUV. Offered with V6 and V8 engines.

Srx Second Generation:

Introduced for the 2010 model year. Shifted to a unibody platform (GM Epsilon II), featuring a more car-like crossover design and styling cues from the CTS. Initially offered with a 3.0L V6, with a powerful 2.8L twin-turbo V6 becoming available later. The 2.8L turbo was discontinued in 2011 in North America due to low sales and the introduction of the refreshed 3.6L V6 for 2012, which replaced the 3.0L.

Production Location:

Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico (GM Assembly Plant)
