Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac XT5 than in the Subaru Solterra. The Subaru Solterra will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT5.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac XT5 is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Solterra.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 is much wider than the Subaru Solterra, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Cadillac XT5, which is slightly longer than the Subaru Solterra.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Solterra, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Cadillac XT5 has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Solterra.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Solterra.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT5 and the Subaru Solterra. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Cadillac XT5 as you will in the Subaru Solterra.
