2021 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2020 | 0 |
Front seats are softly padded in a way that is uncommon in modern vehicles. Driver's seat adjustments are above average, as there is an adjustable thigh support. Passenger seats lack lumbar adjustment and thigh support extensions, but have full 8-way power including seat-bottom tilt and height adjustment.
---
Some drivers complain the lumbar support is intrusive, while others complain it's too subtle. Remember to sit in a seat and get a feel for yourself, as it is very subjective.
---
The driver's seat has the option of a facial recognition system that is fairly reliable if used correctly and a useful feature that is not common in other cars. Memory buttons remain on the door for those that prefer them.
---
The details that count: According to the owner's manual, the facial recognition system's software is open-source and data remains in the vehicle.

The front seats in this automobile are trimmed in supple leather yet are nice and firm in the European style for all day comfort. I look forward to some longer trips once spring arrives. see full Acura TL review |
