LX570 2nd row too tight?
Not sure if you guys are using the 2nd row or not.
I tested the LX570 today (again) and found that the second row is a little bit tight.
Went back home and tried to find the dimension. It is less than 35 inch for the legroom. This is a bit to my surprise ...

I seldom have any full size adults in my 2nd row. I have sat there and it seems to be more than ample leg room and I am near 6 foot. You do know the seat adjust forward and backward?

we often travel with my son in the passenger front seat and wife in the 2nd row behind me as the driver. I have had to adjust my driver's seat when she's back there after she commented that it is very tight for her knees. She is 5' 2" and 135 lbs, so not a big person.
I haven't sat in the seat myself, but it obviously depends on the driver /front passenger and where they position the 1st row of seats.

I agree, it is too tight for normal size adults. Not sure why they don't allow that rear seat adjustment to go back even further than it does. If you're not carry cargo, why not give more leg room to the back seat passengers?

I agree with Lexus allowing the seat to go back farther. You would have to fold the third row down, I wish they would get rid of it all together.

Sounds like it does not have enough room for your needs. Checkout some of the new Mini Vans or even a full size Van. Seems to be a lot of new options out there in the full size Van world.

thanks for all the quick feedback
I have 6 passengers.
So probably will need a mini van then ...
My original plan was to fit 2 on each row. With 2 adults on first, 1 adult with one 3 month old on 2nd and 1 adult and one 3 yrs old on 3rd.
I can lift the 40 side of the 2nd row up so to give 3rd row adult more legroom
I a a bit surprised to find out that 2nd row is also tight.

I commute in mine so rarely is someone behind me but every time someone is behind me i feel like they don't have enough room. I'm 6'1 so I drive with the seat all the way back and half way down. I sat behind my seat and it felt like it was enough not rommy but ample. No one ever has complained to me sooo idk why your wife is having that problem. But for your space needs might as well consider a Sequoia or GL. We have a GL63 as our long distance travel car and I have my seat set the same way and there is more room behind the drivers seat. Also 3rd row seems to be much comfortable from what Ive heard because to be honest Ive never sat back there in either car. I didn't buy the LX for its practicality or room I bought it because I wanted it but for space your much better off with a crossover or minivan.

So I'm told, I usually drive or sit in the front passenger seat so for me it hasn't been a problem. Knock on wood the GL63 hasn't had an issue yet, 21k and still nothing. Hopefully she stays like that for another few years. *fingers crossed
