TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 BMW X5
| 2014 BMW X5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | BMW's multicontour seats, a $1,300 option on six-cylinder X5s and standard with the V8, deliver a rarely matched combination of support in turns and comfort on long drives. In a reversal of traditional tendencies, the buckets in the Range Rover Sport feel firmer and less comfortable. Though you'll find a commanding view forward in either driver seat, the Range Rover Sport maintains an edge in this area. Unusually large windows are one thing that makes a Land Rover a Land Rover. see full BMW X5 review | |
| 2014 BMW X5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Audi and Mercedes both offer much longer SUVs. At least until BMW fields an X7, the X5 is available with an optional third-row seat. Especially considering the size and price of the X5, said third row is absurdly tight, thinly upholstered, and difficult to access. The door openings are small, and the entire second row seat pivots forward and upward off the floor in an only partially successful attempt to compensate. To provide even minimal legroom for those using it, the second row must slide forward a few inches, to the point that its occupants find their own legroom severely compromised. Both rows are too low to the floor for adult comfort. The third-row seat optional in the Range Rover Sport probably isn't much better, and deletes the spare tire (not available on the BMW regardless). This might explain why it wasn't on the tested vehicle. If you want a usable third row, Land Rover offers the less stylish, but also much less expensive and roomier LR4. Shift focus to the second-row seat, and I found that in the smaller X3 at least as comfortable, and easier to get into and out of thanks to the more compact vehicle's lower ride height. That in the Range Rover Sport, though also not the roomiest or the most comfortable, is better than the X5's. see full BMW X5 review | ||

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
4 door has more headroom and backseat is much improved over the 2 door i previously owned see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The 6 way adjustable drivers seat really makes for a comfortable ride. Driving upwards of 700km a day for 4 days straight gave me a great chance to test this out, and I never once got stiff and sore. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |

Not alot of head room and the steering wheel does not telescope. I fit in it fine but someone tall might not. minor thing really. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Hard and thin seat cushions. Legs would feel fatigue after a couple hours of driving. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
In coupe form, the rear seats are cramped and and things can be somewhat claustrophobic in the back. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The rear seat leg-room is not for adults. Only small kids can fit back there. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
It is a sport compact car, so as one would expect, the rear seat is fairly difficult to get to, but once you are there, it is quite comfortable. see full Chevrolet Cobalt review |
