Not great, not awful. Compared to my previous BMW 535i, it's awful, but for the class of vehicle it's OK for shorter distances, which is mostly what I use it for. see full Nissan Rogue review |

holds my three young kids comfortably, like the flat foot room. I don't like the front seats, I find them too flat and I don't like that they dont tilt back like my TSX see full Nissan Rogue review |

Picked up one of my fat friends while on the test ride and had him ride in the back. Him and his wife were very comfortable. Lots of leg and foot room. see full Nissan Rogue review |

Lots of leg room and the drivers seat is very adjustable and comfortable. I have wide shoulders and the leather seats are very comfortable for me. see full Nissan Rogue 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 |
