For Buffalo Cadillac shoppers looking to upgrade their crossover this fall, the 2012 Cadillac SRX will be available at West Herr Cadillac soon.

As the Cadillac SRX surged in popularity in 2011—with sales rising 18 percent—the luxury midsize sedan is gearing up for an ever bigger year, equipped with even bigger power.

The 2012 Cadillac SRX, set to debut in West Herr Cadillac‘s showroom in August, has undergone some serious powertrain revamping. An all-new 3.6L direct-injected V6 engine boasts 308 horsepower, replacing the 2011 model’s 3.0L engine with 265 horsepower.

The change makes the SRX the most powerful vehicle in its class, as far as standard engines go. And while the engine is bigger, it attains comparable fuel efficiency to its 2011 model. The more mass-efficiently designed engine includes an “eco” mode for fuel optimization, as well as a new six-speed transmission to help cut back on gas.

“We’re taking a winning product in the SRX and reaching higher,” said Don Butler, vice president of marketing for Cadillac. “The crossover category is one of the biggest and most important segments in the luxury market. SRX has performed very well and is the best selling Cadillac worldwide, but our approach is not to leave well enough alone.”

Redesigned SRX Offers Buffalo Cadillac Shoppers More Power

The Cadillac SRX promises shoppers buying at our Cadillac dealership serving Buffalo a vehicle with the practicality of a crossover and the power of a sports car— all while incorporating Cadillac’s luxurious trademark into the mix.

Buffalo Cadillac drivers will maintain ultimate driving stability with the SRX’s state-of-the-art All Wheel Drive system with electronic limited-slip rear differential that distributes power from the front to back. It can also allot power across the rear axle depending on driving conditions and traction. The chassis includes Adaptive Real-Time damping technology for stellar riding control, plus rain sensing automatic windshield wipers connected to the brake system, keeping rotors dry when stopping wet conditions.

The 2012 Cadillac SRX is equipped with the best and brightest headlights, including HID headlamps with adaptive forward lighting. The media features are stacked, starting with the Bose 5.1 surround sound system. It also has navigation, a full-color LCD screen and a rear-view camera system. OnStar comes standard and features helpful apps like myCadillac and OnStar RemoteLink, as well as Stolen Vehicle Assistance.

Shoppers will be instantly lured in by other fantastic luxury convenience features, including Bluetooth, an optional heated steering wheel, a xenon Blue Metallic exterior paint option that will be available in the fall, an all-ebony interior option with contrast stitching and a new 20-inch wheel finish option.

At West Herr Cadillac, we know that when Buffalo shoppers drive home in a 2011 Cadillac, they won’t be regretting their decision.

The Cadillac brand ranked among the top 10 in the industry in initial quality ratings, according to the Initial Quality Study (IQS) from J.D. Power and Associates.

This high ranking means that in the first few months of ownerships, Cadillac drivers are satisfied with their new 2011 vehicles. And according to the experts at J.D. Power, initial quality is a good gauge of how drivers will feel about their vehicles long term, and Cadillac drivers stay satisfied long after driving away from the lot.

IQS results are based on responses from more than 73,000 drivers—purchasers and lessees—of new 2011 model year vehicles. The surveys are administered after 90 days of ownership, and contain 28 questions for drivers.

2011 Lineup at Cadillac Dealer serving Buffalo

A stellar lineup of quality Cadillac vehicles, guaranteed to fit your needs, is available now at West Herr Cadillac.

Buffalo shoppers will love our award-winning CTS lineup. The 2011 CTS Coupe was named “Best Coupe” by MotorWeek and a “Top 10” car for 2011 by Popular Mechanics, among other recognitions.

One part of its appeal is the standard direct injected 3.6L V-6 and a six-speed manual. With a revised clutch and dual-mass flywheel, there is better clutch pedal feel and improved engine isolation. Buffalo drivers can also opt for a six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control.

Either way, the engine delivers 304 horsepower and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 27 mpg highway. Direct injection technology delivers fuel more precisely to increase the efficiency of combustion, enabling more power while maintaining fuel economy and lowering emissions – including a 25-percent drop in cold-start hydrocarbon emissions.

Another member of our CTS lineup, the 2011 CTS-V Wagon, has also been turning industry heads this year—it received the MSN Auto’s Editor’s Choice award for 2011.

The editors at MSN Autos loved the CTS-V Wagon’s “menacing” supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. Buffalo Cadillac fans rave that the engine delivers 556 horsepower and 551 lb.-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through either a standard six-speed manual or available six-speed automatic transmission.

Other high-performance features on the CTS-V Wagon at our Cadillac dealership serving Buffalo include standard Magnetic Ride Control, Brembo brakes, and 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires.

But that’s not all—the 2011 CTS-V Wagon can accommodate up to 58 cubic feet of cargo and features several luxury amenities like heated, leather appointed seats. Entertainment and information are available at the driver’s fingertips with an in-dash navigation system complete with a 40-gigabyte hard drive and a Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround audio system.
