The V8 has been dropped for this generation. The 2010 SRX will begin production in Summer 2009 to be sold as a 2010 model, and will have a starting price of $34,155.

The first official pictures of the production vehicle were released on August 15, 2008.The car was officially unveiled in January 2009. It comes with either a 3.0 liter V6 with direct injection derived from the 3.6 liter unit in the Cadillac CTS, or a 2.8 liter turbocharged V6.

Early 2010 models had the GM badges. The GM badges were officially removed for the 2010.5 models
