Lexus SUV with reclining second row?
My family owns a lot of SUVs as we travel in large groups. The sequoia is the only one that truly reclines. The Touareg, Porsche, and Audi only recline about 1" back. I am looking for my next SUV (smaller than my sequoia). Does Lexus have any Touareg size models with a 2nd row with leg room for 6'4" husband and son that can reclining for sleeping kids ...like 45 degrees or more?

The rear seats in my 2013 RX would recline, though they were fairly limited and nothing like 45 degrees. I don't recall exactly (I don't have it anymore). The middle row captain's chairs in my Highlander recline all the way (you can pretty much lay all the way back).

In general, a good idea, although it might take more re-engineering inside than at first meets the eye. From what I have seen of the Sequoia, there are a number of cheap plastic parts inside (and cheap plastic trim outside) that just wouldn't cut it as a Lexus. In fact, IMO, even as a Toyota, that aspect of the vehicle could be improved.

headroom and ride quality just as important as recline. many of new models are addressing this across many brands/models...I always hated "sea sickness when riding in back seats of bigger vehicles due to poor suspension/bounce.

I second that. Adding the attention to detail Lexus puts in their vehicles with the Sequoia package would be ideal for me. The price is an issue though. The Sequoia pushes $60k in platinum trim. That would put the Lexus Sequoia awfully high and would creep up to the LX. I believe that's why I think it's wise for Lexus to extend the RX. The crossover market is on fire.

Not sure how this thread turned into Lexus sequoia but Ill bite. Not sure how it would be "a massive hit" when the market appeal for such large SUVs is small compared to mid and small sizes. In a world of LX and GX, not sure there is room for another 3rd row here...
