2014 Jeep Cherokee Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | The GMC Terrain and Subaru Forester have roomy rear seats, but no vents to keep people back there cool. The Ford Escape has rear air vents, but a much less roomy rear seat. The Jeep Cherokee has a roomy, comfortably high rear seat AND rear air vents. see full Jeep Cherokee review |

The front seats in a Touareg are on par with the best seats from Mercedes and BMW. My back hates driving long distances, but you can drive this car till your eyes are crossed. Your butt and back never tire from these seats. see full Volkswagen Touareg review |
