TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2020 Hyundai Elantra

2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2021 Though adjustments to their shape are limited to power lumbar, the new Hyundai Elantra's well-bolstered front seats fit me especially well. Your size and shape likely differ from mine, so impressions of seat comfort will vary. Whether they fit or not, in the Elantra Limited (unlike in the Forte) they are upholstered in real leather and would not appear out of place in an Audi. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2020 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Rear seat passengers enjoy abundant knee room, but those of more than middling height will find headroom and thigh support marginal at best. These weaknesses are fairly common in current compact sedans, but the Forte, with a taller, less swoopy roof line, has a more comfortably positioned rear seat and a bit more rear headroom. see full Hyundai Elantra review

2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

Plenty of space, good lumbar support, nice side bolstering. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

With only one car, I needed a sporty car with legitimate rear seat room and an automatic for the other users. I have had 2 6ft passengers in the back seat without complaint. The cushion could use a little more height/angle to aid in leg support. Nitpickin see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

Excellent seats and comfort, however occasionally find the seats a bit narrow and the foot well can be tight in some shoes. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

2008 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
It works fine for me, but if you have adults that use the rear seat often they may find it a little uncomfortable for long trips. The legroom is decent, but the seats are a bit hard and not all that ergonomic. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2007 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

Great for my kids (4 and 7) but small for adults. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
2006 4dr Hatch 115-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Seats could be firmer though adequate. It has no lumbar support and expended use probably will change the shape of the foam used in the seat. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
