2008 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of head room for tall folks. Comfortable seats. Lots of knee room. see full GMC Acadia review
2009	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Power seats have versatile adjustments. Thigh support is better than some compact SUVs that I compared. Tilt and telescoping steering wheel is flexible for driving position. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Since this is our family hauler, it needed to accommodate 5 people, with enough space between 3 kids to keep long trips bearable. Adults can sit comfortably in the third row. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	3rd row is big enough for adults, leg room & head room, comfortable bench seat; 2nd row captains chairs were an option that I chose; easy to get around 2nd row and into 3rd row. I believe the Acadia was 11" longer than the Toyota Highlander. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Captain chairs makes it easier to bring the dog on long trips. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Third row seating actually is practical. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There are very few SUVs that can seat 7 VERY comfortably that are not HUGE suburban type SUVs. We are very pleased that the 3rd row can truly seat 3 adults with no issues. I love that I can still load it up at Costco by folding the 3rd seat down! see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Love how comfy it is-- heated seats, (though I would have loved the 2009 A/C seats on my 2008-- boo hoo!), all the controls-- love the music controls on the steering wheel. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Plenty of legroom, seat has many adjustment. see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Best 3rd row leg room in its class. Smart slide seats provide easy access to 3rd row see full GMC Acadia review

2008 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have taken this car on long trips, 14 hours of driving, multiple days in a row. The front seats are ok but not very comfortable. It's even tiring for the passenger. see full GMC Acadia review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Dodge Durango

2015 Dodge Durango Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The Durango's relatively narrow width, a plus for handling, has the opposite impact on interior room. These are very much two sides of the same coin. Because the Durango's cabin isn't terribly wide it feels more agile than wider SUVs. But three passengers in the second row don't have as much space to spread out--those in a Nissan Pathfinder enjoy a couple more inches of shoulder room--and only two people can sit in the third row. (The Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and GM's large crossovers all have three belts back there.) Leg room in the Durango is much more competitive, but still a few inches short of class leading. This said, comfort isn't only a matter of interior dimensions. Both of the Durango's rear rows are well-upholstered and positioned higher off the floor than the three-row crossover norm. This benefits both thigh support and outward visibility. The Hyundai Santa Fe isn't far off in this regard, but the Nissan Pathfinder's seats are much closer to the floor, and less hospitable to adults as a result. Among the three, I'd prefer to be a rear seat passenger in the Dodge. Among large conventional SUVs, the Ford Expedition has a more comfortable third row, but the Chevrolet Tahoe (which retains a live rear axle despite a comprehensive redesign for the 2015 model year) doesn't come close. And the foot-shorter 4Runner? Its XXS third-row seat is best saved for emergencies. On the other side of the ledger, the Durango does have a higher floor than the typical car-based crossover. Getting in and out isn't as easy. This vies with curb weight as the top disadvantage of the Durango's conventional SUV configuration. see full Dodge Durango review
