On The Move: Medium Luxury Utility Vehicle The Cadillac SRX, with its bold styling and flexible design, offers a top-flight choice for drivers seeking a mid-sized luxury utility. (NAPSA)—On America’s high- ways, there’s a growing numberof drivers who desire more room and cargo space than a sedan can afford, but don’t want the enor- mity of a full-size sports utility vehicle. As a result, a new class— the medium-sized utility vehicle— is gaining in popularity. The latest entry in this field is a luxury model that offers a unique blend of dynamic performance, flexible utility and bold styling. The 2004 Cadillac SRX is designed to fit a new place in the company’s portfolio between its luxury sedans and full-size SUVs. “The Cadillac SRX is a luxury utility with the heart and soul of a sport sedan. This vehicle will stand out for its head-turning styling and offer a level of performance and utility like no other medium luxury utility on the road,” says Jay Spenchian, Cadillac marketing director. Highlights of this model, which will be available in mid-2003, include: Rear-wheel or all-wheel drive; Longest wheel base in class for superior ride quality and dynamicstability; Low center of gravity for well-mannered ride and handling; Overall height that’s taller than a sedan for sufficient command view of the road; and Magnetic Ride Control—the world’s fastest-reacting suspension system. The vehicle’s flexibility can be seen in its design. The SRX seats up to seven passengers with the optional third-row seat, or five with an innovative rear cargo management system. The second row seat has the most legroom in the vehicle class, and theater seat- ing offers a command view from all positions. In addition, the vehicle comes with the largest and most innovative sunroof in its class, plus a power shade. The overall design of the SRX communicates the Cadillac bloodline and heritage, plus a high level of functionality, and stands out in a segment known for more conservative designs.
