TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Kia Niro
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.

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2022 Volkswagen Taos
2022 |
Volkswagen's "bigger for Americans" strategy continues with the Taos. Even though the new crossover is the smallest VW offers in North America, its rear passengers enjoy a seat set comfortably high off the floor and plenty of room for their heads, shoulders, and legs. On their spec sheets the Kia Seltos and Chevrolet TrailBlazer offer more combined legroom, but I observed more space in the VW. The top two trim levels include rear air vents.
Why, then, would someone spend a few thousand more for the Tiguan? Perhaps they occasionally need a third-row seat but don't want a crossover the size of the Atlas. The Tiguan's second-row seat isn't quite as roomy as the Taos's, but unlike the latter it can slide and recline.
