TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Lexus RX
2013 |
Lexus have also tended to be more comfortable than competitors. The front seats in the RX are generously sized and very comfortably shaped. They're softer than those in competitors (the Cadillac SRX's buckets are borderline hard), yet are properly supportive. Though the side bolsters aren't large--only the upholstery, black with white perforations, differs from the regular RX 350--lateral support is sufficient for how the Lexus asks to be driven (we'll get to this).

2014 Lexus RX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons |
Year | Comment |
|
Probably because they were designed to fold in a single step to form a nearly flat floor, the 40-20-40 rear seats in the RX 350 aren't nearly as comfortable as the front seats. Passengers have plenty of room, but the seat cushion is too low to provide adults with thigh support and the seat back is too flat. The rear seat in the SRX isn't as roomy, and isn't much more comfortable. But I'd much rather spend time in the back seat of some other competitors.

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Lexus ES
2019 |
From 2014 on Mazdas have had their front wheels located farther from the passenger compartment than the typical front-wheel-drive car. This opens up space for larger exhaust manifolds behind the engine, for improved performance and efficiency. It also gives the cars more attractive, rear-wheel-drive-like proportions.
But it has a price: reduced rear legroom.
The Lexus ES provides rear seat passengers with much more room to stretch their legs. Sitting in the rear seat, I can barely reach the front seatback with an outstretched arm. While the first few generations of the Lexus ES were related to the Toyota Camry, the 2013 and 2019 are related to the larger Toyota Avalon.
This said, I should also note that the rear seat cushion is the Lexus is mounted somehwat low to the floor, so rear seat passengers also have more need to stretch out if they desire under-thigh support. The new Lexus ES is the sleekest and sportiest to date, and sporty rear roof line's also have a price.
