TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata
| 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.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata
| 2013 |
4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front driver seat is supportive yet firm and the power adjustments guarantee you'll get the right driving position for you. The heated seat feature is great on a cold morning too.

Ride is comfortable but after about 2 or 3 hours, the leather seats get a bit hard on the butt.

This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it.
