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

2008 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2009	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Very comfortable to enter and exit. Very comfortable to sit in for long trips. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	The leather front drivers seat and passenger is very comfortable,much more so then my 2002 Honda accord se. The leather is cold in the winter but the heated seats help a lot. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Rear seats are quite comfortable for passengers and have plenty of legroom. Entry/exit is easy. No hesitation to drive friends to a show / dinner theater /etc. where they have to stay in back an hour or more. see full Honda CR-V review

2008 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review
2008	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Headrest could not be adjusted comfortably. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	No room for other passengers with a baby seat in the middle. see full Honda CR-V review
2007	4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD	Extremely cramped for me - just hated the interior and could not get past the legroom see full Honda CR-V review
