TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Hyundai Sonata

2016 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 According to the spec sheets, the Ford Fusion has nearly as much combined legroom as the new Sonata, which has an inch more than the old Sonata. But Ford cheats the specs. In reality, the Hyundai's rear seat has a few more inches of rear legroom than the Ford's, and about as much as you'll find in any competitor. Rear headroom is in shorter supply, but (again as in most competitors) should be sufficient for people up to six feet in height. The rear seat cushion is a little too low and level to provide optimal thigh support, but the space to stretch out largely compensates for this. You can get rear air vents to help cool this roomy rear seat, but only on the Limited and Sport 2.0T. see full Hyundai Sonata review

Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The rear bench seat can slide forward or back. When slid back, there is ample leg room for even the tallest of passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
