Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Cadillac XT5 than the Land Rover Discovery. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Cadillac XT5 and the Land Rover Discovery.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT5 as you will with the Land Rover Discovery, 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). Clearly, the Cadillac XT5 is a better financial choice over the Land Rover Discovery, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 is much slimmer than the Land Rover Discovery, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Cadillac XT5 is slightly shorter than the Land Rover Discovery, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has a smaller turning radius than the Land Rover Discovery, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Discovery is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT5 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac XT5 has a lot less horsepower than the Land Rover Discovery.

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 Land Rover Discovery.

Utility
The Cadillac XT5 has less seating than the Land Rover Discovery, making the Land Rover Discovery the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Cadillac XT5 has less cargo space than the Land Rover Discovery, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
