Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V Hybrid than in the Cadillac XT5, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac XT5 and the Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT5 as you will with the Honda CR-V Hybrid, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT5 is a little wider than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. 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 Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has a larger turning radius than the Honda CR-V Hybrid, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Cadillac XT5 will do just as well as the Honda CR-V Hybrid, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Cadillac XT5 has a little more horsepower than the Honda CR-V Hybrid.

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 Honda CR-V Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT5 and the Honda CR-V Hybrid. The Cadillac XT5 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda CR-V Hybrid.
