2007 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A little tight up front especially when compared to the M35 which is very roomy. see full Acura RL review |

2017 Kia Niro Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2017 | The Kia Niro's compact exterior dimensions somehow contain plentiful headroom and legroom in both rows. Beyond the measurements, the rear seat is positioned at an unusually comfortable height, affording both excellent leg support and an open view forward over the front seats. see full Kia Niro review |
