Conclusion

If you’re shopping the XT5 with a specific color in mind, the model year matters more than most people expect. Recent years (2024–2025) concentrate on jewel-toned metallics like Emerald Lake and Midnight Sky, while 2021–2023 lean into warmer boutique shades like Latte and Rosewood, and the earliest years (2017–2018) offered some unique legacy metallics you rarely see today. When you’re ready, our team at Turan-Foley Cadillac can help you match the exact look you want with the right trim, wheels, and interior combination—because the “perfect XT5” is usually a paint-and-package decision as much as it is a features decision.
