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.

DVD navigation and rear seat DVD entertainment.
The audio system now also features
