TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2021 Toyota Highlander

2021 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
With each redesign (for 2008, 2014, and 2020) Toyota has enlarged the Highlander, yet the crossover's third-row seat remains uncomforably low and tight. For adults to be even passably comfortable in the way-back the second row must be slid forward, rendering legroom there also marginal. Some three-row crossovers have much roomier and more comfortable third-row seats. But if you want to be able to squeeze in eight people, Highlanders with a second-row bench can do this. Because they have significantly narrower third-row seats, the Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento cannot fit three people back there even in a pinch, so in hybrid form the former has a maximum capacity of seven people and the latter only six. (The Sorento PHEV will be able to seat seven.) This noted, if you want your adult passengers to have plenty of room, the practical capacity of each is four people. see full Toyota Highlander review

The 3rd row seating is just not for adults at all, and I'm not certain that children would be easy to fit back there as well. I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking, even making the 2020 longer didn't make any difference at all. My one complaint is it is just TOO SMALL! see full Toyota Highlander review

Seats are hard and offer little to no support for back or legs. Especially uncomfortable on long car trips. At 24, I should not be haveing back support issues. I have driven long distances in other cars before, not nearly as uncomfortable as the ION. see full Saturn ION review
2004 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.2L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Not much rear seat room at all, and very little place to put feet. It had theatre style seating, that sat rear passengers higher than the front. This was great for visibility. However, headroom was not very great. The seats were not supportive. see full Saturn ION review
