Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler than in the Cadillac XT5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Wrangler will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT5.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Cadillac XT5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Jeep Wrangler.

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). Whether you pick the Cadillac XT5 or the Jeep Wrangler, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT5 is a little wider than the Jeep Wrangler, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac XT5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Jeep Wrangler.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has the same turning radius as the Jeep Wrangler, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT5 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT5 has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Wrangler.

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 Jeep Wrangler.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT5 and the Jeep Wrangler. The Cadillac XT5 has less cargo space than the Jeep Wrangler, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
