The Cadillac SRX interior also is very similar to the
CTS, which again is love it or hate it in terms of design.
It certainly is stylish, comfortable, and practical, but
it 
isn't
particularly beautiful or warm and inviting. It has far
more plastic than most cars of this price category, something
Cadillac interior designers reportedly are working on. The
V8 model adds wood touches. Interior colors include ebony,
light neutral, and light gray.
The Cadillac SRX is roomier than some of its competitors,
especially the
BMW X5 and
Infiniti FX. At 41 inches, the SRX has more rear legroom than other
midsize luxury sport-utilities and as much rear hiproom
as the roomy
Acura MDX.
The SRX comes standard with two rows of seats for five
passengers. The second row powers back and forth for added
legroom or added cargo space. The cargo area in the five-passenger
model can be outfitted with storage spaces built into 
the
floor under hatch doors.
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 RX330. 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
frontdoor 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.
