2008 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Tons of room in the front seat. I am tall and I still have the seat adjusted in the middle, not all the way back, with lots of head room and leg room to spare. The passenger side is even better. see full Chrysler 300 review |

The back seats have just as much room as the front seats. They fit the whole family with no problems, and you can even pick up the in-laws and they will fit back there perfectly. see full Chrysler 300 review |

Lots of room in the front, heated front seats and a nice comfy seat. Just returned from a 7 hour trip in the car and not once did i feel uncomfortable. see full Chrysler 300 review |
2014 Cadillac ELR Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Both cars have comfortable front seats, but the ELR's provide more lateral support, at least with the $2,450 brown interior option (which adds power adjusters to their modestly sized side bolsters). Front seat access isn't among the ELR's strengths. As is often the case with coupes, the doors are long and heavy. see full Cadillac ELR review |
2014 Cadillac ELR Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Volt's rear seat is pretty tight. The Cadillac ELR's is even tighter. At 5-9, I barely have enough space for my head and knees, and this when sitting behind someone my own size. Put someone taller in the front seat, and even pre-teens will have trouble squeezing into the back seat. This being a two-door, rear seat access is also dicey. The Tesla's rear seat is far roomier than either GM car's. Plus a rear-facing third row is optional. see full Cadillac ELR review |
