Cadillac SRX SUV (Second Generation)

This is a rear-view perspective of a mid-size luxury crossover SUV, specifically a second-generation Cadillac SRX (produced between 2010-2016). The vehicle is finished in a glossy black exterior paint. Notable physical characteristics include the iconic vertical LED taillights that are synonymous with Cadillac's design language, a chrome accent bar across the liftgate featuring an embossed 'Cadillac' script, and a centered 'SRX4' badge indicating it is equipped with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) drivetrain. The rear bumper is integrated with dual chrome-tipped exhaust outlets and rear parking sensors. The Missouri license plate bears a 2025 registration sticker and a bicentennial commemorative design. The overall condition of the vehicle appears well-maintained with high gloss on the paintwork, though minor dust and typical road wear are visible on the lower bumper plastics. The glass on the rear window and the rear wiper assembly appear intact. The craftsmanship reflects the luxury market positioning of the Cadillac brand from the early 2010s, utilizing a mix of metallic, polymer, and glass components assembled to high manufacturing standards.

Based on my visual examination of this second-generation Cadillac SRX, the vehicle presents as a well-preserved example of the SRX4 (AWD) trim level. The glossy black finish and intact vertical LED taillights suggest a vehicle that has been garage-kept or regularly detailed, as the paint depth appears consistent with no obvious signs of oxidation or major collision repair. The 2025 Missouri registration indicates active maintenance and road-readiness. The luxury crossover market remains strong for mid-size units under $15,000, particularly for AWD models like this one which offer high utility and brand prestige. Market comparables for 2010-2016 SRX models vary significantly with mileage, but a clean AWD variant typically yields a premium of 10-15% over front-wheel-drive counterparts. Factors such as the 'bicentennial' plate suggest localized ownership, potentially in a region where road salt could impact the undercarriage—a factor I cannot verify via these images. Authenticity of the 'SRX4' badging and OEM parts appears consistent with Cadillac standards. However, a full valuation is limited by the lack of interior condition data, mechanical history, and current mileage reading. For a definitive authentication and final value, I would require an in-person diagnostic scan of the onboard computers, an inspection of the maintenance logbook/Carfax, and a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion. Images alone cannot confirm the functionality of the CUE infotainment system or the state of the timing chain, both of which are common valuation variables for this specific model generation.
