2014 Lexus RX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
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). see full Lexus RX review |

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. see full Lexus RX review |

2016 Toyota Sienna Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | The Sienna's seats are cushier than those in the Odyssey or the Sedona. But I slightly preferred the Sedona's front seats because they had four-way lumbar (rather than two-way) and provided more lateral support. The Toyota earns a clear win in front seat space. The first-row foot wells are unusually wide, and there's no tall center console (as in the Kia) or a protruding center stack (as in the Honda) to crowd the driver's right elbow or knee. This said, a relatively tall instrument panel does cut into the view forward and contribute to the Sienna feeling larger than the others. see full Toyota Sienna review |
