Not sure what the above proves other than everybody's body and preferences are at least a little different and that comfort is entirely subjective. One thing I do know about harder seats is that, if adjusted correctly, for long trips they're overall less tiring to sit in than soft.

Hard seats less tiring than softer seats is probably true with overly soft seats, but Q5 owners will never experience this. I
I’d gladly sacrifice the venting feature of my seat to abate the firmness of those seats, It’d be instructive to have an upholstery expert weigh in on the feasibility and cost of modifying the seat via additional padding. I might try to find an auto upholstery forum and post a question about this. Hopefully, the mod being only to the seat portion of the chair would make it less of a challenge and cost, assuming its doable at all.

If your butt is a little larger it also rubs against the side bolsters. My wife has a 2019 RX 350 and it's super comfy, enough so that I told her for long trips I'd rather drive her vehicle even if it's not nearly as cool as the Q5. I'm more used to the hard(er) seating, but there's a big difference between them and the RX, or any other car that I've driven.
I need bolstered seats as I push it on the road. The lexus has super seats. -- but it drove like a Rav4 (had to get to a revvy 4,000 RPMs to get to speed).
I want a Q5 but seats I don't settle with. What to do ???

Yes -- the 2015 S model had the best seats. I am going to try the X3 and see how that compares. My back is not 25 years old anymore so I am picky seat customer.

My wife had a 2017 X3 and I love her seats. They are not the softest, but nothing digs into you either in the seat or the back.

My MK5 Jetta TDI with leatherette seats were some of the most comfortable seats I've had. My Model 3 with vegan leather seats are more comfortable than my 2020 Q5e. I've taken the Q5e on some long trips and they were fine for me, but they could be better.
