Does the RSX have back seats?
Yes, the Acura RSX does have back seats. The RSX is a compact sports car that was produced by Honda's luxury division Acura from 2001 to 2006. It was designed as a successor to the Acura Integra and offered a more premium and performance-oriented take on the compact sports car formula.
Seating Configuration of the Acura RSX
The Acura RSX is a 2+2 coupe, meaning it has two front seats and two rear seats. The rear seats are small and intended more for occasional use or to provide additional cargo space when folded down, rather than for regular passenger seating. However, the RSX does come equipped with a functional rear bench seat that can accommodate two additional passengers, albeit in a somewhat cramped environment.
Rear Seat Specifications
- The RSX has a 50/50 split-folding rear seatback that can be folded down to expand the cargo area.
- Rear seat legroom is limited, with just 29.1 inches of space. This is typical for a compact sports coupe.
- Rear headroom measures 34.5 inches, which is also on the tighter side compared to larger vehicles.
- The rear seats are best suited for children or smaller adults for short trips, rather than for long-distance travel.
So in summary, while the Acura RSX does have a functional rear seat, it is not the most spacious or comfortable seating area, and is better suited for occasional use or cargo hauling rather than regular passenger transport.
Is the RSX a luxury car?
