"rear legroom" isn't comparable.
You can slide the front seats forward and back, so "rear legroom" is dependent on what "front legroom" is.

Legroom and headroom numbers can be stretched just be making the seat cushion lower and shorter -- the SRX's trick. In terms of actual comfort, I'd say they rank RX>XC>Q5>SRX.

Different manufacturers use different methods to measure interior dimensions, so these are actually a bit misleading. In the Edmunds comparison test of the XC60, SRX, GLK and Q5, we found that the XC60 offered appreciably more legroom than the others, even the Q5 that is allegedly bigger. Headroom was also greater.

how does this compare to these manufacturer's wagons? E.g., V70/50, A4/6 Avant, etc.?

We use an industry standards following EPA guidlines. Try to cut/paste to Excel. if that doesn't work and you're one grasp away from a sharp knife of specs on XC60, send me an email and I'll attached it.
