TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Kia Sorento

2015 Kia Sorento Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Hyundai offers the Santa Fe in two lengths, a two-row 184.6-inch "Sport" and a three-row 193.1-inch regular version. Though the 2011-2015 Sorento had an optional third-row seat, it was about the same length as the Santa Fe Sport. Perhaps to better fit that third-row seat and differentiate itself from the two Hyundai variants, the 2016 Sorento is three inches longer than the 2015, for a total of 187.4. Kia has done a good job packaging the new SUV. Though the Toyota Highlander and (2009-2015) Honda Pilot are considerably longer, their rear seats have no more rear legroom than the new Sorento's. At 5-9, I can just barely fit in any of them. Passengers will have more room to stretch their legs in the Santa Fe, though third-row headroom is similarly limited to people of at most my height. If you need an adult-friendly third-row, you really need a minivan. Kia offers an especially stylish one. Like the Santa Fe, the Sorento falls between others' compact and midsize SUVs in width. There might not be more rear legroom in a Highlander or Pilot, but there's enough additional shoulder room to include a third seating position in the third row. If you need an eight-passenger vehicle, both the Sorento and the Santa Fe are out of contention. At least all trim levels of the Sorento can seat seven people. The Santa Fe Limited can only fit six. In both the Kia and the Hyundai the second-row seat is mounted comfortably high off the floor, not a given among midsize crossovers. The third-row seat is mounted low to the floor, forcing a knees-high seating position, but this is pretty much a given in the class. see full Kia Sorento review

2007 Toyota Yaris Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	For the size of car, there is a lot of front seat room see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Have driven Tampa - Durham multiple times (11-12 hrs each way). Seat feels REAL nice to me. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	more leg room than a lot of larger cars see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There's lots of space around you in the front seats, moreso than other cars I have owned. Lots of modern cars have a big, tall center console that extends back to the rear seats and up to your elbow. The Yaris is not like this at all. Only the gear stick separates the driver and passenger. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More room than many mid-size cars see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	The seats are soft but supportive, and hug the driver firmly in place. The result is a real sense of connection with the car. see full Toyota Yaris review

2007 Toyota Yaris Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not comfortable to sit in for more than an hour. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The back seats are extremely cramped when slid forward. They must be slid forward when a non-tiny amount of cargo needs to be put in the back. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	incofortable even for only two adults. The passanger in the center will be very inconfortable when tree passengers are in rear seat. see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Ha ha ha ha! Perhaps a small dog would be comfortable back there. The only good thing about the back seat is that I've read it is not too hard to remove it entirely! see full Toyota Yaris review
2008	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Small in the back, but the seats can adjust, recline and fold down for cargo. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Very narrow. see full Toyota Yaris review
2007	2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	On long drives, it is very uncomfortable in the lumbar area. see full Toyota Yaris review
