You can fit comfortably 3 adults across the back (for short to medium trips) or two car seats and one adult. see full Nissan Murano review |

Hip point makes easy entry/egress. Supports my 265 pound frame. Offers enough leg/hip/shoulder room. Seats are heated, which is great in the cold Arctic. Many choices of moving/tilting helps me get a comfortable position at all times whild driving! see full Nissan Murano review |
2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec. In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines. One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |

Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |
