Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review |

Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review |

2018 Kia Niro Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2017 | The Kia Niro's compact exterior dimensions somehow contain plentiful headroom and legroom in both rows. Beyond the measurements, the rear seat is positioned at an unusually comfortable height, affording both excellent leg support and an open view forward over the front seats. see full Kia Niro review |
