An optional third-row bench seat provides accommodations for up to seven passengers. The third row is not available on many of its competitors, including the BMW X5, Infiniti FX, or Lexus RX 330. But the third-row seat provides less room, including legroom, than the Acura MDX or Volvo XC90. The third-row seat folds flat into the floor with the push of a button near the rear hatch or on the pillar just behind the second row of seats. The third row comes with storage bins and cupholders. Each row of seats sits higher than the next, like those in a movie theater, so everyone can see out.
Luggage space is about average for the class. Roof rails come standard to expand cargo-carrying capability.
Storage cubbies abound and include covered front door compartments, front door map pockets, front seatback pockets, front center console with two compartments, a bin behind the front console, glove box with shelf, covered cup holders in the front seat center console and second seat fold-down armrest with cupholders. SRX also has rear coat hooks accessible from the rear passenger doors or liftgate, good for picking up dry cleaning.
In addition to the power third-row seat, the literally coolest feature of the SRX, which no competitor has, is its supersized sunroof. Push the button to slide open the Ultra View Sunroof and front and rear passengers can enjoy 5.6 feet of open air for front and rear passengers. Next Page
