What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2010 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The rear bench seat can slide forward or back. When slid back, there is ample leg room for even the tallest of passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

2008 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2007 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD
With the power adjustable front seat, both myself (at just over 6 feet tall) and my wife (5 foot 5) can find plenty of leg room. The additional seat width is appreciated for me (over our past viechle) as I have long arms & need more elbow room than most. see full Dodge Durango review
2007 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic AWD
With a growing family, we needed 3 rows of seats that can actually haul people of normal size. It seems the 3rd row of some SUVs are made for 10 year olds. This viechle fits 8 people in a pinch, 7 comfortably. see full Dodge Durango review
