2009 | 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 CVT FWD |
The power driver seat and tilting/telescopic steer wheel puts you in perfect driving position- I felt that the RAV-4s steering wheel was always too far away. see full Nissan Murano review |

There is plenty of room in the front seat area. It feels open and spacious. Tall drivers might find they would like a little more headroom or the ability to lower the seat another inch. see full Nissan Murano review |

The rear set is large and fairly comfortable with plenty of leg room and easy access. The rear seat backs recline, making them more comfortable for travel. see full Nissan Murano review |

Perfect for a taller person; longer seat bottom gives better support; 8 way seat lets one get just the right position. see full Nissan Murano review |

Overall, the seat is too soft. The seatback is completely lacking in lateral support and the cushion is too short with no thigh support. It’s fine for around town driving, but tiring after just an hour of highway travel. The lumbar support is decent, b see full Nissan Murano review |

I had a Camaro once, and the seats would have been better suited to that, rather than a crossover to take to work and back. The lumbar hurt, no matter where I set it. see full Nissan Murano review |

Year | Comment | |
2013 | Overly firm, insufficiently contoured front seats seem to be popping up everywhere lately, even in the formerly fluffy Toyota Avalon. (Blame the influence of the Germans.) The Dodge Journey’s front buckets provide a refreshing alternative, with a rare combination of cushiness and support. The armrests and door pulls are also well-padded. The driver-side lumbar powers up and down as well as in and out. The headrests even adjust fore-aft, a rarity among sub-luxury cars these days. If only the driver seat also included power recline... see full Dodge Journey review |

As mentioned earlier, Chrysler really dropped the ball when it packaged the Journey. The second-row seat is a comfortable height off the floor, yet headroom is plentiful even by crossover standards. But that’s the beginning and end of the back seat’s virtues. The optional third-row seat is kids-only (unless the adults in question aren’t much larger than kids). Though less than an inch longer, and riding on a wheelbase that’s 3.6 inches shorter, the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has eight more inches of legroom in each of the rear rows—a huge difference. Adults can fit in the Journey’s second row if it’s slide back at least half way along its travel, but they can’t stretch out like they can in the Santa Fe. Or in many compact crossovers, for that matter. Poor packaging also makes for a fairly high load floor and (as mentioned above) less cargo volume than in other similarly-dimensioned crossovers. see full Dodge Journey review |
