2006 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
The seats are supportive without being rigid. I like the easy to clean, removable seating material. see full Nissan Xterra review

6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range
The rear seat on the XTerra is not spacious, but it is sufficient for shorter adults, kids, and pets. At 6'4", I'm cramped and the narrow door opening doesn't help with access. Still, it's far less clastrophobic than the FJ Cruiser. see full Nissan Xterra review

2011 Acura MDX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

The interior prioritizes appearance over actual utility; it's surprisingly cramped for such a large vehicle. For example, my Highlander is roughly the same size externally but seems downright cavernous on the inside in comparison. A rear passenger can fully stretch out in the Toyota. Not so in the Acura. see full Acura MDX review
