2014 Lexus LS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
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 |
