TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Kia Cadenza
| 2014 Kia Cadenza Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | The Impala has an inch or two more rear legroom than the Cadenza, but this difference is much like that between a pool that is 12 feet deep and one that is 15. All of these sedans have more rear legroom than all but the tallest passengers will need. The Cadenza more than makes up for this trivial difference in quantity with a rear seat cushion that is more comfortably shaped and positioned than that in the Impala, and cushier than the overly firm park bench in the Avalon. The Azera's rear seat is similar, though. If you are carrying tall passengers in back, headroom will be a factor long before legroom will. None of these cars have an abundance of it. When both the Cadenza and the Impala are fitted with panoramic sunroofs the Impala has about a half-inch more. Not a large amount, but for some people it will be the difference between contacting the headliner and not contacting it. see full Kia Cadenza review | |

| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
This is a big one for me since I'm 6'6". The seat is very comfortable, even with my long legs. With it all the way back, I can fit in the rear seat as well. Also, heated seats are a wonderful thing. see full Subaru Outback review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
It seems to have as much room as my Chevy Suburban. see full Subaru Outback review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
More then enough room for my children and their car seats. Much more room compared to my VW Passat Wagon I traded in. see full Subaru Outback review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The driver's seat with its 10 way adjustments was rival to Volvo's orthopedic chair. The passenger seat, however was akin to something out of a Yaris & this was the main reason we did not buy this car. see full Subaru Outback review |

There are no adjustements for height, lumbar or tilt for the passenger in any of the available trim levels. We would have bought this car new from the dealer otherwise. see full Subaru Outback review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
One complaint is the hard, short driver's seat. I use a gel cushion. I had after market leather installed. see full Subaru Outback review |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A little tight in the left portion of the footwell; small dead pedal. see full Subaru Outback review |

Footroom too short. see full Subaru Outback review |
