For those that have had their Mavs for a while, how do you like the lumbar support and is it sufficient overall?

It’s been fine for me on multiple 10+ hour drives. My lower back isn’t an issue for me, so your mileage may vary, but I’ve been happy with it.

You need to specify the trim level, as I believe they all have different seats.

XLT Lux (BAP)
Seems good. Actually have not touched it since I got the truck. Still on factory setting whatever that is. I forgot I had one!!!

Yeah you have adjustable lumbar with the lux pkg. I find it pretty good. Oddly enough (especially after coming from an ass hugging Tesla model 3) I find that the seat bottoms can push on my legs a bit but the back and lumbar support is great.
I have it adjusted very light, almost flat. I don't like a big bump in the lumbar and never want it anywhere near max. So.. I guess it's good?

I've found the XLT seats to be very comfortable, even on long drives. During the short time I drove a new XL, I was not nearly as happy with the seat - no lumbar and the foam felt stiffer.

I have mine maxed out (big bump) no neck or shoulder pain on day long drives. Previous car drove me nuts Mini Cooper with lumber.

Assume no XLT LUX on your hybrid?

I have an XLT BAP and it has a lumbar adjustment. It works fine for me. If you need more experiment with some upholstery foam (craft/fabric stores have it) if you find more is better, you will also find that the seat backs have zippers and can easily we lift up. Use spray contact adhesive and place you sculpted foam under the cover and zip it up. Easy as pie.
