Rear Reclining

Off topic but I gotta say, I do miss not the adjustibility to recline the rear. Sure wish comfort access was a option without need to get the 3rd row

Thankfully I don't sit in the rear but actually tried it for the 1st time this weekend. It could use a smidge more recline for comfort

Also, when loading up something huge (like a wheel/tire), it's great to keep the seat vert *locked on latch*, but gain that extra 2 inches so the hatch can close comfortably with a movers blanket onto as well, to prevent the wheel from scuffing the rear windows as it rolls in transit.

It's tight but the G05 can accomodate full wheels vert, hatch can close with movers blanket but sometimes the ability to just move the seat a smidge would be nice for weird loads where you don't want to fold the seat down as it also keeps the load in place

yep, bummer. generally wish they were a little more plush and comfy overall too, but they are not terrible as is. Really puzzled at this limitation, it almost put me into an X3 which can recline, but the X5 is much wider in rear seats so kinda makes up for it.

Non semi-reclining rear seats was a big issue for my kids of road trips. It was a one of many reasons to upgrade to a X7.

I don't use the rear seat at all, but it was always a good thing with Grand Cherokees.

But moreso, open space under the rear seats for things like a long snowbrush or spare wipers.
