2007 Cadillac SRX Ups the Interior Ante

Hand-crafted interiors aren’t the norm even when talking about luxury SUVs, but that’s just what we’re getting with the 2007 Cadillac SRX. The SUV features a revised interior that uses both traditional manufacturing and coverings made by hand. There’s also a hidden storage bin on the passenger side behind the wood trim.

We’re also impressed by the new center console, which is a tremendous upgrade over the last generation’s bulky buttons and unappealing layout.

V-8 equipped models will also feature a new six-speed automatic transmission for the first time.

Like the Volvo XC90 we mentioned earlier, Cadillac is also introducing a “Sport” trim for the SRX. It will feature different front and rear body treatments as well as optional 18- and 20-inch — yes, 20 — wheels. The new 2007 SRX arrives at dealerships this August.
