2017 Genesis G90 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2017 | Large luxury sedans tend to have good driving positions, and the G90 gives no ground here. The windshield is set at a moderate angle and the instrument panel isn't overly deep or overly tall, so outward visibility is good. (While parking I greatly appreciated the standard around-view camera system.) Large luxury sedans also tend to have comfortable seats--otherwise, what would be the point of them? The G90's front seats are among the most comfortable I've experienced. The driver seat benefits from a few power adjustments that the front passenger seat lacks: upper seatback recline, cushion length, and side bolster spread. The front seats in the Cadillac CT6 compare poorly. Their non-adjustable bolsters are spaced too widely for anyone of remotely average size, and the cushion between them feels overly flat and firm. I much prefer the G90's cushier and more contoured front seats. see full Genesis G90 review |

Rear seats are narrow and hard. The centre seat is only usable for very small people on very short trips. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
