CNET's tests showed that in mixed city/highway driving, gas mileage proved "pretty dismal."Ĭ took the SRX on a spin around mountain roads and gave it a thumbs up, praising both the V6 and V8 engines and giving a slight edge to the powerful V8. Kelley Blue Book notes that the V6 (although it "lags" at times) may be preferable to the V8 for fuel economy purposes. Many reviewers see the SRX's fuel economy as a problem. The all-wheel-drive model is expected to net 14/22 and 13/20 city/highway, respectively. With the V8, it should get 13/20 city highway. MSN states that, "Both engines are sophisticated, and both transmissions are responsive."Īccording to the Environmental Protection Agency, the two-wheel-drive SRX with the base engine is expected to net 15 miles per gallon in the city and 22 on the highway. Rear-wheel drive is standard (all-wheel is optional), and it's equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission for either drivetrain. The Northstar V8 engine puts out 320 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque.
It also has a five-speed automatic transmission for rear-wheel drive. Under the hood, the SRX's standard V6 3.6-liter engine pumps out 255 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. While many reviewers praise it, a vocal minority complains about body roll, slow steering, and inadequate highway passing power. However, a point of criticism mentioned by several reviewers is the SRX's low fuel economy.
