TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5
| 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| One of two areas where the Hyundai Ioniq 5 might fall a bit short for its intended function is in rear seat comfort. Not only is there a little more knee room in the rear seat of the ID.4, but the VW's seat is mounted higher off the floor, and so provides better leg support. This is also an issue with the related Kia and Genesis. In the last knee room is marginal for one man of average height sitting behind another. It seems that the lower roof lines on these vehicles are not cost-free. see full Hyundai Ioniq 5 review | ||

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu
| 2012 Chevrolet Malibu Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | On paper, the Malibu's rear seat is only a little tighter than those in the 2008-2012 sedan and in competing cars. In person, rear knee room would only be marginally competitive in the compact sedan segment. Sitting behind my 5-9 self, my shins graze the front seatbacks. GM is rushing some revised seats to market. But if past attempts to fix a cramped rear seat are any indication, this won't make a substantial difference. The rear seat in the Ford Fusion is roomier, if also short of the segment's quasi-limos. see full Chevrolet Malibu review | |

This is tight if front seats are postioned at or close to the back of their range; shorter wheelbase in this model compared to prior version. Rear seat access is excellent (i.e, for infant car seats, small item transport). see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

I'm 6'4" tall and 60 years old. I have a tough time getting in and out due to the low roof. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |
