2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
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. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

They are harder than I would like. I came from an F150 with the luxury package and the seats were amazing, these sears are hard and could be improved upon by being softer. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

If there are leggy people in the front the room in the back goes to almost non-existant. The head room is limited for taller people as well. see full Nissan JUKE review |

The back seat is useless for adults. At 6' tall I couldn't sit in the back because my head would hit the roof. see full Nissan JUKE review |

The front seats are great for short trips, but found them rather hard and uncomfortable for longer trips. Not usually a problem as you have to stop every two hundred miles to fill it up again. see full Nissan JUKE review |
