TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Ford Fusion

2013 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The front bucket seats fit my slightly overweight torso very well, with large bolsters for lateral support, a form-fitting shape, and headrests that don't jut too far forward. The Titanium's seats are the best of the bunch, with a little more padding and a little more bolstering. The rear seat doesn't seem as roomy as the official legroom specs of 44.3 + 38.3 inches. In the back seat of a VW Passat (42.4+39.1 inches), my knees aren't nearly as close to the front seat backs. Though those present denied it, I continue to wonder if the specs have been cheated like those for the new Escape. Passengers over six feet in height will find rear headroom in even shorter supply. But if you fit, the high-mounted, large, and well-shaped cushion is the most comfortable rear seat in the segment. see full Ford Fusion review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Ford Fusion

2013 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Being 6' 3" it can be hard to find a car where I have sufficient legroom & headroom. In the Fusion Hybrid there was lots of space, even with a sunroof. There are also padded surfaces where my left knee rests against the door and where my right leg rests against the center console. The Camry Hybrid was not comfortable. The doors are hard plastic and there was no soft place to rest my knee. The center console was also hard plastic. see full Ford Fusion review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 178hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tons of legroom and passengers pleased with the accommodations. see full Ford Fusion review

2013 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	The door sills are very high which made it tough for me to get my size 13 shoes up and over when sitting behind a front seat that is all the way back. The door sills in the Camry were lower so while there was no more rear seat room than in the Fusion is was possible to get my feet out more easily. see full Ford Fusion review
2013	4dr Sedan 141-horsepower 2.0L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	You can see I'm really reaching here to find things that we didn't like about the Fusion Hybrid, but here's one more... There is a small step up in front of the front seats which made it hard to cross my legs like when traveling on road trips. see full Ford Fusion review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 178hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The driver's seat was atrocious to get set - took forever (three drives over 2 days) with a zillion directions to move the seat - more adjustments does not mean more comfortable!! see full Ford Fusion review

2006	4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	I find it to be very comfortable. The back seat lacks leg room for three people to fit comfortably. If an adult is in the front then the person behind has little leg room. see full Hyundai Elantra review
