TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Subaru Outback
| 2016 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2015 | Through the 2009 model year, the Outback (and the related Legacy sedan) had a tight back seat. Though marketed as a midsize car, it was actually a compact. The 2010 redesign dramatically expanded the Outback's interior, especially in the back seat. The 2015 redesign added another inch of shoulder room, such that the Outback (and Legacy) are now not only truly midsize, but rank among the roomiest midsize cars. Rear air vents are offered--in Outbacks with leather. So the tested car lacked them. Some compact crossovers, including the Cherokee, are about as roomy, but they achieve their specs through a more upright seating position. People in the back seat are closer to the front seats, so they don't feel like they have as much room even though they have just as much space for their legs. But they get rear air vents even in the lower trim levels. see full Subaru Outback review | |

| The front seats have an unusually high bulge just below my shoulder blades. This feels more odd than uncomfortable, at least to me. The driver's lumbar adjusts, but this affects the area below said bulge. Partly depending on your height your experience might vary. These seats also provide very little lateral support, which admittedly isn't much of an issue given the non-sporting character (and non-sporting tires) of the Outback. I had no such qualms with the armrest on the door. It's wide and cushy. In the front seats' favor, for 2015 Subaru has added fore-aft adjustability to the headrests, a rarity in recent moderately priced cars. The Jeep's cloth seats are too squishy, but they're more form-fittting than the Subaru's, and I find them more comfortable. see full Subaru Outback review | ||

I like being able to seat 7 people, which we have done several times. To be fair the 3rd row seats are best for children or small adults but the way the second row can be folded makes access easier. The front & second row seats have lots of legroom. see full Suzuki XL7 review |

The seats are fully adjustable which I appreciate a lot on a long drive. I tend to stiffen up in a less adjustable seat but the XL7 allows me to readjust enough to really help. Plenty of headroom and comfort. see full Suzuki XL7 review |
