XL and XLT (Non lux) passenger seat height

[rmooremarine]

My wife and I travel often and find many new cars passenger seats sit too low in proportion to the dash and door sills. (Ford Fusion- Honda Civic) with no height adjustment. I am ordering my Maverick ASAP and like the XL and XLT and live in warm climate so no need for heated seats and wheel. Only passenger seat height is concern . Anyone sit in non lux Maverick passenger seat and con report on seat height for someone 5'7" ish? Again, not height from ground but height in relationship to dash and door sills.

Just picked up my XLT Lux today! Passenger seat is manually adjustable up and down, thankfully. My job has a bunch of Fusions and some have a passenger seat that isn't adjustable up and down so I know exactly what you mean. Very annoying.

Edit: I assumed it was not a feature of Lux package and that even XLs and 300A XLTs were still adjustable up and down but after looking at build & price, it says the passenger seats are 4-way adjustable but adding Lux package on XLT makes them 6-way adjustable so now I'm not sure about XLs and non-Lux XLTs.

My wife is 5’0” and has a problem with most passenger seats without height adjustment. I ordered an Xlt lux but hadn’t even thought about the passenger seat until reading these posts. Glad the lux has height adjustment because I would have heard about it if it hadn’t!

How tall are you?

I am 5'8" it's my wife who rides passenger mostly who cannot stand sitting low. She is 5'6" ish. Again it's the fish bowl feeling. Our other car is a Land Rover Discovery. Sits high and both seats raise or lower. Just hate spending 2k plus 2.5k so get XLT and Lux just for seat height. IF too low
