TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA
| 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The CLA's rear legroom stat, a very low 27.1 inches, suggests that adults won't even fit in back. But this stat under-represents reality. At 5-9, I could just manage to site behind myself. More than the limited amount of room, I minded the highly constricted view out. The coupe-like roof line takes a big cut out of the rear side windows. Unlike in the C-Class, the front seats largely block rear seat passengers' view forward. Suffer from claustrophobia? Best avoid the CLA. But, it's a coupe, so what did you expect? see full Mercedes-Benz CLA review | ||

The Kia Sorento had very good seating positions in the front for a very tall person, I'm almost 6'5" and was able to fit with the sunroof / panaramic roof. You get a feeling of control and confidence. You do loose about 1" or so with the see full Kia Sorento review |

Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review |

The third seat was a major factor in our decision process. see full Kia Sorento review |

| 2012 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Needs an adjustable second row and a little more cargo room when the third row seat is up. see full Kia Sorento review |

3rd row is tiny, and you are forced to get it, if you want the V-6 see full Kia Sorento review |
