What this rating means for the 2017 Cadillac XT5
NHTSA gives the 2017 Cadillac XT5 4 out of 5 stars overall, below the 5-star median for the 7 comparable 2017 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class. That places it at the bottom of its tested class. Four stars overall is a solid result, though the sub-scores are where the meaningful differences sit.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 16.9% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.
Across the 9 model years we hold for the Cadillac XT5, the figure ranges from 4-star (2017) to 5-star (2018), so the 2017 car is best read against its own model history rather than in isolation.
A star rating describes how this vehicle performed in NHTSA’s tests against other vehicles of similar mass. It is not comparable across weight classes: five stars on a small car and five on a large SUV do not describe equal crash outcomes.
About NHTSA Safety Ratings
The NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) assigns 5-star ratings from government-funded frontal, side, and rollover crash tests — not manufacturer-reported data. Ratings, crash media, and safety-technology data are sourced directly from NHTSA.
