There is plenty of space for all of the passengers and personal gear. The bucket seats add a lot of comfort. They also allow some extra room for third row passengers. Leather is the way to go, and the heated seats come in handy on those cold winter days. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review |

3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |

The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review |
