TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Kia Niro

2018 Kia Niro Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
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

2018 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2018 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
3rd row seat is midget sized. Claiming that the Highlander is an 8-passenger vehicle is a lie. It's either 5 normal-sized people, or Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is no way you can accommodate 8 normal-sized people comfortably in this car. see full Toyota Highlander review
