The future SRX replacement was expected to be called BRX, but company execs have decided to keep the current moniker.
Due to be unveiled next year, the future SRX replacement model will finally replace the planned BRX moniker to keep the current name. Cadillac managers estimate that the current moniker has some potential despite current model’s poor sales. It is unknown whether this future SUV will reach our shores. However, a European version sold under the Saab brand will be available from next year.
Respectively codenamed GMT166 and GMT168, the next SRX and the future Saab 9-4X will share a new platform called TE, short for Theta-Epsilon. The two models will be built at the Ramos Arizpe facility in the US. Cadillac plans to sell 75,000 units annually. The SRX will be powered by two petrol engines, a 210bhp 2.8-litre V6 unit and a 300bhp 3.6-litre V6 unit. A 2.0-litre diesel engine might also be available. There is no information regarding the 2.9-litre V6 diesel unit which would be essential on the European market.
