| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
The seats have plush cushioning, lumbar control and position control. The seats are leather/vinyl (I think leather, but not sure) with center punched suede allowing some air circulation. All good for greater comfort on long trips see full Mercury Mariner review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Rear seat room is limited, seats firm, but little side support see full Mercury Mariner review |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
For long drives even with leather it can get uncomfortable. A little more support and padding would be good in the seat. see full Mercury Mariner review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2021 Kia Seltos
| 2021 Kia Seltos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2021 | Compared to most other small crossovers, the Kia Seltos has a much roomier rear seat. Rear legroom is a generous 38 inches. Few people will need to step up to a larger crossover unless they need to seat more than four people. The competing Mazda CX-30 (36.3 inches of rear legroom) and the related Hyundai Kona (34.6 inches of rear legroom) have more cramped and much more cramped rear seats, respectively. In fact, the Seltos has about as much room for rear seat passengers as the one-size-up Sportage. (The Sportage will no doubt grow when it is next redesigned.) The Seltos' rear seat passengers can select between two seatback angles. I found even the most upright not as upright as I would have liked, but impressions here will vary. see full Kia Seltos review | |
