2006 NY Auto Show
Based on GM’s acclaimed Sigma architecture and available in rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD), SRX is designed to deliver superior driving dynamics.
This year, SRX features several enhancements, including a standard power rear liftgate; best-in-class step-over for easier vehicle exiting and an enhanced optional interior package with wood on the center stack.
The SRX has two engine combinations: the 4.6-liter Northstar V8 VVT (variable valve timing) or the 3.6-liter V6 VVT. The V8 engine is sophisticated, technically advanced and generates 320 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 315 lb.-ft. of torque at 4400 rpm.
The 3.-liter V6 VVT makes 260 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 254 lb.-ft. of torque at 2800 rpm.
Both engines are mated to five-speed automatic transmissions. Both transmissions feature Driver Shift Control (with clutchless manual shifting), electronically controlled engine braking and downgrade detection with brake assist.
Chassis management and vehicle control systems include four-channel StabiliTrak stability control system and available Magnetic Ride Control. Speed-sensitive variable effort steering, four-channel ABS with Panic Brake Assist and traction control and available AWD also are included.
