2006 Toyota Camry Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	I have arthritis and it is great to have a seat that i can lower and slide way back. Not just great - it was important in the purchase decision. . see full Toyota Camry review
2007	4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Rear seat is large and lots of leg room. Nice feature is the center armrest, which many cars in this price range do not have. see full Toyota Camry review

2007	4dr Sedan 187-horsepower 2.4L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Very big seat area for a big person. Easy to get in and out of. see full Toyota Camry review
2005	4dr Sedan 157-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	The wings are not angled up too steeply for my wide, creaky hips. I still need a two-inch foam insert to see properly and compensate for the lack of OEM padding in the seat, though. see full Toyota Camry review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	These seats seem to have been designed for someone 250 pounds. Wide, flat, and no proper support for your back. While this has a lumbar support for the driver, the poor seat design makes this uncomfortable for long trips. see full Toyota Camry review
2007	4dr Sedan 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	It could not seat three adults, while the Ford could easily seat three large people, and give them limo-like legroom. see full Toyota Camry review
2006	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	ok, but not as roomy as the azera see full Toyota Camry review
2006	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	knees touching the back of the front seat (after i adjusted the front seat to how i would sit) see full Toyota Camry review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Toyota RAV4

2014 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The first two generations of the Toyota RAVs were much smaller than contemporaneous Honda CR-Vs. More than perhaps any other difference this one probably explains Toyota's lack of segment leadership. The third-generation RAV4, introduced for the 2006 model year, was much larger, and finally about the same size as the Honda. The new RAV4's body is an inch lower, but also a few inches longer. Compared to the CR-V, it's 1.6 inches longer, an inch wider, and 0.7 inches taller. This translates to a slightly roomier interior, and probably the roomiest in the segment unless one includes the boundary-defying Santa Fe Sport, Chevrolet Equinox, and GMC Terrain. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, I have nearly five inches of knee room in the Honda. Quite good, but I have seven inches in the new RAV4. Beyond sheer space, the RAV4's rear seat cushion is a comfortable height off the floor, and its rear seat back reclines over a relatively wide range. The Honda's rear seat back can be set in only two different positions that aren't far apart. Add a third passenger, though, and the rear seat no longer seems so roomy. My three kids aren't large, but they complained about the amount of room. The reason isn't hard to find: for some reason the new RAV4 only offers 48.8 inches of rear hip room. This is much better than the 43.3 inches in the 2012, but still well short of the 53.3 inches in the CR-V. So, while the RAV4 has the edge in knee room, the Honda easily wins a hip room comparison. see full Toyota RAV4 review

2014 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The drivers seat has a really long travel - I normally have the seat far back (5'11" with long legs) but I probably had 6 inches of travel further back I could have gone. The seat isn't overadjustable and not too hard to get into a comfortable position. The fake leather is a reasonable facsimile and has heated seats - would have to see how it does in the direct sun. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2013	4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seat room is pretty impressive and seating position is nice. Adjustable rake of the rear seat is a nice touch. Appears to have 3 car seat anchors. The rear seat appears to be the same size as, or maybe even larger than the original Highlander / RX300. see full Toyota RAV4 review
