TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe

2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Nothing impressed me more about the new Santa Fe than the amount of combined legroom. With a length of 193 inches (2.5 more than the Veracruz), the new crossover is four inches shorter than a Nissan Pathfinder and over seven inches shorter than a GMC Acadia, yet you'll find more legroom in its second and third rows. On top of this, unlike in the Nissan and GMC (but like in the Veracruz, this hasn't changed) the second-row seat is comfortably high off the floor. Alas, all is not good in this area--check out the cons below--so I haven't rated it against the Pathfinder. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review

2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	As noted among the pros, you'll find abundant legroom in the Santa Fe. But shoulder room is a different story. The new Santa Fe's 74.2-inch width exceeds that of the typical compact crossover or midsize sedan, but is narrower than that of the Highlander, Veracruz, Pathfinder, Pilot, and Acadia by 1.0, 2.4, 3.0, 4.3, and 4.7 inches, respectively. For anyone seeking to sit three across in the second row (or who simply prefers the spacious ambiance of a wide vehicle in any row), the Santa Fe's consequently narrower interior could be the #1 downside of sharing as much as possible with the new two-row Santa Fe Sport. Then again, maximum shoulder room for three passengers is only an issue with the Santa Fe GLS. As mentioned in the preceding section, the Santa Fe Limited has standard captains chairs, and so can only seat six. Anyone seeking a full zoot crossover with seating for more people will have to shop elsewhere. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4

2008 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Great when I can take my husband and teenagers up to the mountains for a ski trip without any major complaints. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2008 Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seat is adequate, but not large. Child seat fits fine, but my son can kick the back of the front seat. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	Depending on how tall your front passengers are, your rear passengers may not have any room to sit. Can fit 4 average sized adults, but it will be tight. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seats hard and unforgiving,had a sore back in first hour. Saab seats always been superb. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	Rear seats seem very cramped for leg room. I've never used them, but have only ever dared to take adults on short trips in the back. Heated seats are available for the rear passengers. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seat is too small for adults on long trips (over an hour). And the rear seat can only hold 2 people even for short trips. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	small rear seat like the 3 series see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	OK for kids, not really on for adults for a long journey. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD	What room? What comfort? Tight and cramped and incredibly firm. Zero leg room for average height adults. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Center console protrudes into the leg area while gas pedal is far over to the right. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
