INTERIOR
STYLING AND FEATURES
The SRX also sports a more luxurious,
hand-crafted interior, decorative
French stitching, for a superbly tailored
appearance.
The wood trim on SRX envelops the
cockpit, starting on the rear doors
and continuing to the front doors
and through the instrument panel.
The optional trim uses a particularly
rich authentic wood called Sapele
Pommele. Sapele (sa-pell-i) is an
exotic wood from East Africa , rarely
used on luxury cars, more often favored
by makers of fine home furnishings
and high-end acoustic guitars.
SRX’s in-vehicle electronics
and entertainment also receive a major
enhancement for 2007. The renowned
Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround digital audio
system is available as an option for
the first time on SRX. The previous
Bose system that had been optional
now becomes standard. Also, SRX will
offer a “theater” package
consisting of Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround,
DVD navigation and rear seat DVD entertainment.
The audio system now also features
an auxiliary port for connecting MP3
devices such as an IPod. |
