2019 RDX rear hip room
Hello,
I am looking to buy a 2019 Acrua RDX. I was hoping to fit 2 adults and one car seat in the back row. I was surprise to learn that the rear hip room for RDX was 50 inches, whereas for Mazda CX5 it is 55 inches. The rear shoulder rooms for the 2 cars are comparable (RDX = 56.6 vs 54.8). My parents are on the wider side (from the hips) and they will sit in the back seats. So, is the hip room or the shoulder room is a better measure of whether or not i can fit a car seat and 2 adults on the back comfortably.
Also, for folks who have an RDX - do you think it can fit 3 adults comfortably say for a 1-hr drive. Thank you for your help.

I've sat in both the back seats of the RDX and CX-5 and there's no way the CX-5 can handle two adults and a car seat while the RDX might be able to. The RDX's flat floor helps a lot but it's also definitely wider than the CX-5. The RDX is about a half size bigger in the back seat than the CX-5. However, both cars, probably for side impact protection reasons like to place their passengers a bit more inboard than on most cars I've driven. It's not a lot but it does mean with two people and a car seat that it's going to be a bit awkward.
Next week I'm taking both the CX-5 and RDX out for an extended test drive to see how they both work with a car seat and my in-laws in the back - I suggest you go to the dealer with your car seat in hand and hook it up and see what happens.
