2008 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |
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 |
2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
There's a reason three-row crossovers tend to be much larger than this pair. The third-row seat in the Kia Sorento doesn't provide enough headroom for the average adult male. Both comfort and knee room are also in short supply. You might think that a seat couldn't get any tighter than the Sorento's third row. But, based on the official specs, the Outlander has nearly four inches less combined legroom--a huge difference. Even children won't fit in the Mitsubishi's third row unless you slide the second row forward much of the way. The 2014's third row seat is at least a conventional seat. Last year it was little more than a sling. In either vehicle the second row split bench is roomy and comfortable, with enough height off the floor to provide adults with good thigh support. But the rear passengers in the Outlander don't get air vents. Those in the Kia do. see full Mitsubishi Outlander review |
