This is subjective. I can drive in my 2008 Acura for over 10 hours with no discomfort. We had a new Nissan SUV for a rental and I couldn’t even sit for an hour.
If it’s really a concern, I suggest renting a car that you are considering. Take it on a weekend trip. |
Luxury sedans. |
Always get seat warmers. Always. |
Seat warmers are nice but the game changer for me was the heated steering wheel. |
We have an Audi Q7, it is the most comfortable car, not to mention it is so heavy, feels great on long car trips! We just went on 2 long trips to pick up kids from college. |
This. And at 4-6 hours, where I begin to need a break, it's about concentrating on the road, not the comfort of the seat. I drive regular Hondas and Toyotas, nothing fancy. |
+1000 drive to Hilton Head by myself. It is by far the most comfortable car to drive. |
tesla with auto pilot very confortable to drive long distances |
TRY THE SEATS, because it depends on your figure and height, OP.
We have two cars, one of which has large, flatish seats that are not made to fit a petite person like me. I get lost in them, and they have less support. The other has much more supportive, smaller seats that fit me better. |
I used to drive across the country (DC to SF) 2x a year for many years, and my favorite car was a Ford Explorer. It had heated seats, air-conditioned seats, and a built-in seat massage. Also, the dash/console layout was simply the most intuitive, and it was so quiet, it was so easy to take calls on speaker. Damn, don't know why we don't have a Explorer now! |
Our compact SUV Hyundai is an absolute dream. Smooth as butter on the road for long haul road trips. Just caffeinate so you don't doze off ![]() |
Love my Volvo bc of the assisted steering and adaptive cruise control. Heated seats and steering wheel also are hugely helpful. Will never buy car without all these features again. |
Any 70s land yacht. Couch on wheels.
Olds, Lincoln, full size Pontiac. |

My newish car has seat warmers and seat coolers. Game changer! |
