2010 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

Very supportive, easily adjusted for that "just right" feeling. Very comfortable for extended periods of time. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review |

First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
2015 Lexus RX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Lexus RX has the roomiest back seat of the three, the Lincoln MKX the tightest. Very tall people will prefer the RX's. At 5-9, I'm not tall, and found the other two back seats much more comfortable, with higher, better shaped cushions providing better thigh support and seat backs that were not overly reclined. The RX's rear seat back felt overly reclined to me even in its most upright position. Since it adjusts, why didn't Lexus engineer it to adjust over a wider range? see full Lexus RX review |
