TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
2014 |
Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec.
In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines.
One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest.

Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room.

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volvo XC60
2014 |
Volvos have long been renowned for seat comfort, and the XC60 continues this tradition with seats that are thoroughly supportive without being as firm as those in the Cadillac and in the German crossovers. This said, some people might find the headrests overly intrusive. The Inscription Package adds power lumbar adjusters to both seats. Otherwise these adjusters are manual.
Notable in its absence: front seat ventilation, offered in the Audi and Cadillac, isn't an option in the XC60. Also, no massage.
