2011 Nissan JUKE Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
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 |
2022 Volkswagen Taos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2022 | Volkswagen's "bigger for Americans" strategy continues with the Taos. Even though the new crossover is the smallest VW offers in North America, its rear passengers enjoy a seat set comfortably high off the floor and plenty of room for their heads, shoulders, and legs. On their spec sheets the Kia Seltos and Chevrolet TrailBlazer offer more combined legroom, but I observed more space in the VW. The top two trim levels include rear air vents. Why, then, would someone spend a few thousand more for the Tiguan? Perhaps they occasionally need a third-row seat but don't want a crossover the size of the Atlas. The Tiguan's second-row seat isn't quite as roomy as the Taos's, but unlike the latter it can slide and recline. see full Volkswagen Taos review |
