If there are leggy people in the front the room in the back goes to almost non-existant. The head room is limited for taller people as well. see full Nissan JUKE review |

The back seat is useless for adults. At 6' tall I couldn't sit in the back because my head would hit the roof. see full Nissan JUKE review |

The front seats are great for short trips, but found them rather hard and uncomfortable for longer trips. Not usually a problem as you have to stop every two hundred miles to fill it up again. see full Nissan JUKE review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr Hatch 107-horsepower Electric 1-speed automatic FWD |
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Nissan LEAF review |
