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

2017 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
