TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2013 |
You can buy a BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne with tame front seats, but not the Grand Cherokee SRT8. In the Jeep, SRT's signature buckets are standard. Large, firm bolsters provide excellent lateral support even to those of us with slender builds. Yet they're also comfortable, with enough padding to avoid park bench references. The four-way adjustable lumbar didn't do much for my back, but your experience may vary. Moving to the back seat, the Grand Cherokee's growth adds a couple of badly needed inches to legroom. With this improvement the Grand Cherokee only matches other similarly sized SUVs, so it's not a reason to buy. But rear seat legroom is no longer a reason not to buy, so it bears mentioning.

4dr SUV 290-horsepower 3.6L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
The cabin is a very serene place to be, aided by the comfortable front seats. With the leather seat option, both front seats and two rear seats came with seat heaters. Also, both front seats are power adjustable, including height and lumbar. The lumbar support is great for long trips, allowing you to change wear the seat contacts your back for less overall fatigue.

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Cadillac ELR
2014 |
Both cars have comfortable front seats, but the ELR's provide more lateral support, at least with the $2,450 brown interior option (which adds power adjusters to their modestly sized side bolsters).
Front seat access isn't among the ELR's strengths. As is often the case with coupes, the doors are long and heavy.

2014 Cadillac ELR Seat Room and Comfort: Cons |
Year | Comment |
|
The Volt's rear seat is pretty tight. The Cadillac ELR's is even tighter. At 5-9, I barely have enough space for my head and knees, and this when sitting behind someone my own size. Put someone taller in the front seat, and even pre-teens will have trouble squeezing into the back seat. This being a two-door, rear seat access is also dicey.
The Tesla's rear seat is far roomier than either GM car's. Plus a rear-facing third row is optional.
