Buyers of the “base” 2025 Cadillac XT5 Luxury can now kit their luxury crossovers out with the optional Onyx Package, Cadillac Society has learned. This is the first time since the introduction of the package that it has been offered on the base Luxury trim.
In addition to becoming available on the base Luxury trim, the Onyx Package (production code PDB), which is an LPO-level (dealer-installed) bundle, is also optional on the Premium Luxury trim. However, it is no longer available on the Sport trim. Additionally, the package cannot be paired with the Blue Accent Package (production code PDL), Red Accent Package (production code PDK), or Bronze Accent Package (production code PDJ).
Content and features included in the Onyx Package is as follows (relevant production codes written in parentheses):
At this time, pricing for the Onyx Package for the 2025 Cadillac XT5 Luxury has not been revealed. For context, the package is priced at $4,995 for the Premium Luxury trim.
The 2025 XT5 for North America will soldier on with minimal changes and updates compared to its 2024 model year predecessor. That means that not only will it retain the same exterior and interior designs, but that it will also be offered with the same powertrain lineup. The Luxury and Premium Luxury trim levels will continue to cradle the the turbocharged 2.0L I4 engine (production code LSY) as standard, which is rated at 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. These models will be identifiable by the 350T badge on the liftgate.
Meanwhile, the naturally-aspirated 3.6L V6 engine (production code LGX), rated at 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, will once again be optional on the Premium Luxury trim and standard on the Sport trim. These models can be identified by the 400 badge on the liftgate.
One of four new colors for the 2025 model year.
And it now represents the best value in its segment.
