2021 Hyundai Venue Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Venue has a very small exterior compared to nearly every other North American market crossover, and Hyundai's packaging engineers performed no miracles. While the rear seat is high enough to provide thigh support and is comfortable, and headroom is plentiful, rear knee room is not. The Kia Soul and Seltos both offer more than four inches of additional rear legroom, a large difference. The Ford EcoSport offers two more inches. But the Hyundai Kona's rear seat is about as tight as the Venue's. see full Hyundai Venue review |

Spacious enough to allow my 84 year old mother to get in and out without injuring herself! see full Kia Optima review |

After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review |
