2018 Kia Niro Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2017 | The Kia Niro's compact exterior dimensions somehow contain plentiful headroom and legroom in both rows. Beyond the measurements, the rear seat is positioned at an unusually comfortable height, affording both excellent leg support and an open view forward over the front seats. see full Kia Niro review |

The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review |

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review |
