The seats in my 2013 Elantra GLS feel soft compared to those in my 2010 RAV 4. They were fine for a 4 hour ride. I haven't taken the Elantra on a longer trip than that. The RAV 4 is a limited with leather seats which are stiff as boards.
I agree that there seems to be a trend towards stiffer seats. Maybe it has something to do with safety and the airbags. I also prefer softer seats, especially for long drives.
Overall I really like the Elantra interior. It is a big improvement after 17 years in a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. The visibility in the Elantra seems panoramic after driving the Eclipse with the top up......
