Seats are comfortable, adjustable, and sit high to give the driver and passenger a good view of the road ahead, and are wide and not narrow like you find in the competition. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |

Being quite a tall guy one of my favourite tests is to set the front seat in my position and then get in the back seat. In the touring I have at least 4" of knee room. Great for long trips. see full Hyundai Elantra Touring review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Honda Pilot
| 2015 Honda Pilot Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2016 | According to their spec sheets, the Ford Explorer and Nissan Pathfinder have more rear legroom than the new Honda Pilot. In practice, though, the Pilot's rear legroom feels at least as generous as theirs--I suspect some creative measuring--and well ahead of what you'll find in a Toyota Highlander. The Pilot's second-row seat isn't as high off the floor as the Ford Explorer's, but is more comfortably positioned than the low benches in the GM crossovers and the Pathfinder. The Elite trim level includes captains chairs, so it can only seat up to seven people. With a second-row split bench, other Pilots can seat eight people. The Pilot's largest seating advantage is its third row. Unlike in most crossovers, the cabin remains broad in the "way back," so there's enough shoulder room for three passengers. The Highlander's third-row bench, though also designed for three passengers, is somewhat narrower and lacking in legroom. Only the GM crossovers roughly match the new Pilot in third-row space as well as passenger capacity. The Pilot's seats are positioned so that the view forward from each is open, further enhancing perceived roominess. see full Honda Pilot review | |
