| 2018 | Spring for the top-of-the-line Stinger GT2, and the Kia's driver seat gains power adjustments for its side bolsters and cushion length. The tested car was a GT1, yet I did not miss these adjustments. The seat fit me very well without them. I did miss the GT2's ventilated seats on hot days. And if your front seat passenger requires 4-way adjustable lumbar or either of you desires upgraded leather, then you'll also want the top trim. The tested Audi S5 Sportback was fitted with optional ventilated seats. Unfortunately, upgrading to these seats deletes the otherwise standard power-adjustable side bolsters (and massage function), and in this car I did miss having them. Compared to the Kia's, the Audi's seats are much firmer and not nearly as form-fitting. In my rating, I've assumed that the S5 Sportback's standard seats can be adjusted to provide better support than the optional ventilated seats. Otherwise I'd rate the Kia's front seats "much better." Moving to the back seat, in either car headroom should be just enough for adults up to about six feet in height. This is a big improvement over the initial iteration of the S5 Sportback. That car never made it to North America because of a severe rear headroom deficiency. When it comes to rear knee and leg room, the Stinger offers about two-and-a-half more inches. Rear seat passengers are likely to prefer the Kia, especially if they can't quite fit behind a tall driver in the S5. see full Kia Stinger review | |

| That's it for the significant advantages of the new Acura MDX. Most things it does well, but not significantly better than the generally good segment averages. It's quick, but not thrillingly so. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, and cushier than those in the Infiniti, but provide less lateral support than those in the smaller Acura RDX and are no match in comfort or support for those in a BMW X5, a Lexus RX, or the big buck Mercedes reviewed a few weeks ago. Ride quality, like the seats, is good but short of luxurious. With additional sound deadening and laminated front door glass, the 2014 MDX is quieter than the 2013, but this only brings it in line with the others. By the same token, there aren't many clear reasons to reject the 2014 MDX. The most obvious follows from its relatively compact size: though (as already mentioned) cargo volume is more than competitive, there's less room in the rearmost row than in the QX60. By sliding the second row up a couple of inches (it has a half-foot of travel), adults of middling size will fit back there. But with their butt low and knees high they won't be comfortable. The QX60 offers far more combined legroom based on the spec sheets, and a couple more inches in the real world. (The Acura's specs seem to under-represent reality for passengers even as they might over-represent it for cargo.) But the Infiniti's seats are flatter and less comfortable. The new Hyundai Santa Fe offers more legroom than the Infiniti, while Ford's large crossovers could be best of all for transporting up to seven adults--if still not as good as the typical minivan. see full Acura MDX review | ||
