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 |

Compared to other sporty wagons (BMW, Subaru) the Passat has about 3" more rear leg room - enough to put my full-size parents and/or friends in the back seat without making them do contortions. Easier to get a child in and out of a rear safety seat, too. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
