2013 Honda CR-V Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | Though a column-mounted shifter and a minivan-like walk through to the second row went away with the third-generation CR-V, Honda's compact crossover retains an interior that puts roominess and functionality ahead of sportiness. Thanks to an open design with a relatively compact instrument panel and center console, both rows feel even roomier than the class-leading (or close to it) specs suggest. Though the second-row seat is mounted too low to provide adults with much thigh support, the floor back there remains hump-free. see full Honda CR-V review |

Front seats very comfortable and roomy. They almost appear too wide, and I wish they had more lateral support. Very useable center console with a flat top. see full Honda CR-V review |
2019 Hyundai Kona Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Hyundai packaged the Kona fairly efficiently, but only so much was possible given the crossover's compact exterior dimensions. At 5-9 I can barely sit behind someone else my height, my knees nearly touching the front seat back. Put taller people in the front seats, and the rear seat would become viable only for small adults and children. The Honda HR-V has a much roomier rear seat (but much less comfortable front seats, at least for me, as their headrests jut too far forward). Most other competitors fall between the two. One exception: the Mazda CX-3 has an even tighter rear seat than the Kona. For those who fit, the Kona's rear seat is mounted comfortably high off the floor. see full Hyundai Kona review |
