Have had many adult passengers in the rear seats - all have commented without prompting on the ample leg room, comfortable seats, and attractiveness of the panoramic glass roof. see full Toyota Venza review |

2015 Lexus RX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Lexus RX has the roomiest back seat of the three, the Lincoln MKX the tightest. Very tall people will prefer the RX's. At 5-9, I'm not tall, and found the other two back seats much more comfortable, with higher, better shaped cushions providing better thigh support and seat backs that were not overly reclined. The RX's rear seat back felt overly reclined to me even in its most upright position. Since it adjusts, why didn't Lexus engineer it to adjust over a wider range? see full Lexus RX review |
