TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Nissan Rogue

2013 Nissan Rogue Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Both the Rogue and the Forester have roomy rear seats mounted higher off the floor than most, and thus better suited for adult comfort and non-adult outward visibility. But only the Nissan has air vents back there. The Rogue is also one of the only members of the segment to offer a third-row seat, the others being the Mitsubishi Outlander and the Kia Sorento (which in width and price actually falls between compact and midsize). Unlike in the others, though, you cannot get a third-row seat with the Rogue's top trim level. So you must choose between the third-row seat on the one hand and the SL's additional features (heated leather seats, Bose audio system, forward collision alert, LED headlights) on the other. You also cannot get the third-row seat with the panoramic sunroof. The tested vehicle was the SL, so no third-row seat. Judging from the specs, it should be roomier than that in the Outlander, and about a match for that in the Sorento. Adults might fit in a pinch, but it's probably best to think of the seat as kids-only. Combine this third-row seat availability with the Rogue's EPA ratings, and you have the most fuel-efficient vehicle that can seat seven (but not on leather). see full Nissan Rogue review

2013 Nissan Rogue Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The Rogue SL's leather-trimmed seats appear luxurious, but like those in some other recent Nissans (with the notable exception of the Altima) feel flat and overly firm. The power seat adjustments include height, but not tilt. Mazda has also started deleting the driver seat tilt adjustment, and both automakers deserve to be taken to task for this. Those with upright builds (including me) will find that the Rogue's front seat headrests jut too far forward. The Forester's front seats are more comfortable. see full Nissan Rogue review

2013 Nissan Rogue Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT AWD	In previous car, I had problems with leg pain after 2.5 hours. No such problem after multi-hour drives now. Still need an insert for back support. see full Nissan Rogue review
2012	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L I4 CVT FWD	I'm over 6' tall with long legs, and I have plenty of room. I can sit in the rear seat after I set the driver's seat at a comfortable position, as well. I wish the lower cushion height/angle could be adjusted, but still very comfortable. see full Nissan Rogue review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Scion xB

2006 Scion xB Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Full sized adults fit well in the rear seat. 2 of them. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It is so comfortable for tall people, with plenty of legroon. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gigantic rear seats. 6+ foot tall passengers can seat in the back without their knees touching the front seatbacks. Cargo capacity is also most impressive for such compact exterior dimensions. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is tons of room in this car! It almost seems bigger on the inside than the car is on the outside. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I have 3 kids, ages 15, 13, and 7, and they have all kinds of leg room in the back seat of this car. It's almost as much as a minivan. All 3 can ride comfortably in the back for up to an hour or so. Another 2 inches or so of width would make it ideal, even for longer trips. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is enough room in the rear seat for two large men to sit comfortably or, in my case, two car seats for my children. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	you feel like you are driving a larger vehicle when looking out from the drivers seat see full Scion xB review
