TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Lexus LS

2013 Lexus LS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2014 The Jaguar's sports car-like interior design lends it a sporty character, but at the cost of front seat room, perceived even more than actual. The Lexus feels much roomier. The cushy, well-shaped front seats in the Lexus are among the most comfortable in the class. The Jaguar's are nearly as comfortable, though, and I like the BMW's most of all. Despite a plethora of adjustments, the Audi A8's are firmer and less form-fitting than the others. Move to the back seat, and even in the regular wheelbase cars there's plenty of room and comfort for most adults. The long wheelbase only makes sense if the back seat will often carry tall adults, or people who want limo-like legroom even if they don't have the legs of an NBA center. see full Lexus LS review

Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review

This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review

Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. see full Lexus IS review
2009 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6

Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review

The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review

Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review

The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review

Small rear seat. More like a coupe with 4 doors. see full Lexus IS review

Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review
