TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Lexus RX
| 2012 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 | |

| 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. see full Lexus RX review | ||

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volvo V50
| 2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review |
