That's probably because of the SRX's classic droop-rear end. That type of styling often (though not always) compromises interior space-efficiency.

The XT5, though not a shoebox by any means, does not seem to droop quite as much in the rear.

I finally had a chance to sit in the new XT5 today.
Very impressive interior. Excellent materials. The swede headliner and A-B-Pillars remind me of the 2003-2007 LX570 materials. Best steering wheel in the class. Excellent seats (very comfy). Overall a very elegant interior.
Where the interior falls short is the second row leg room and rear cargo space. I think the new XT5 is a better purchase than the new RX350. Looks much better on the outside too.

When I was in looking at and test driving the XT5 the rep showed me the sliding rear seats. The seats had a good amount of travel for rear seats.

I would (assume) that the rear seat-backs also recline. That is becoming more and more common now in SUVs. Even the base model 2016 RAV-4 (which IMO had some of the cheapest materials in it that I've seen in a recent SUV) has that feature, to its credit.

Yes, the seatbacks in the XT5 recline.
