Wide comfortable front seats. Heated seats are great and the leather feels very good. Lumbar support in drivers seat is excellent. see full Buick LaCrosse review |

The interior prioritizes appearance over actual utility; it's surprisingly cramped for such a large vehicle. For example, my Highlander is roughly the same size externally but seems downright cavernous on the inside in comparison. A rear passenger can fully stretch out in the Toyota. Not so in the Acura. see full Acura MDX review |
