2010 Cadillac SRX Turbo Was An Utter Failure

In 2010, the first turbocharged engine to ever power a Cadillac SUV arrived under the hood of the SRX. It was a major misfire. The 2.8-liter V6 was poorly received as an added-cost option that was quickly noted for being heavy on fuel, not powerful enough, and potentially self-destructing if fed regular octane gas and driven too hard. After a little over a year of poor reviews and recalls, the 2.8-liter turbo V6 disappeared because customers weren’t buying it, and it would be 8 more years before another Cadillac SUV would have a turbocharged engine.
