2012 Saab 9-4X

Tested vehicle: 2010 Cadillac SRX 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2011-12 models

The Cadillac SRX was redesigned for the 2010 model year, and the Saab 9-4X was introduced in the 2011 model year. Both are structurally related to the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test on an SRX conducted by General Motors.
