2018 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 |

able to undertake long drives in comfort. Able to enter/leave car without being contortionist. Easy copes with my (very) large body frame. see full Acura TSX review |

There could have been a bit more rear leg space - althoug, the seats are pretty comfortable. see full Acura TSX review |

If the front seats are pushed back, not a lot of foot room in back see full Acura TSX review |
