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

Mentioned this before, but should be mentioned again and again. It's a compact ecoonomy car with luxury under-the-hood technology. see full Toyota Prius review |

Lack of lumbar support will translate into back fatigue on long trips. see full Toyota Prius review |
