2016 Toyota Prius Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | For a compact hatchback, the new Toyota Prius feels very roomy inside. It helps that the tall, sloping console of the third-generation Prius has been replaced by one with a much less intrusive (if also less sporty) design. The deep instrument panel is scooped out on top, while the windshield is large and distant. The view forward from the driver seat is very open, but anyone who isn't a goldfish will find it unusual. It's like driving a spaceship, in two senses. Or a small minivan. The Ford C-MAX has a crossover-like driving position and the most comfortable seats. The front seats in the Prius are nicely shaped, but less firm. Those in the Volt could use more contour. I found the Civic's front seats somewhat uncomfortable. The Volt feels far tighter inside. Up front the windshield seems far smaller than that in the Prius. The back seat, while its cushion is comfortably positioned, threatens to induce claustrophobia. Both the Prius and the Volt have restricted visbility to the sides and especially to the rear. The view is much better from the driver seat in the C-MAX. see full Toyota Prius review |

Rear seat passengers in the Prius have far more knee room than those in the Volt, and feel far less closed in. Despite a low-mounted seat cushion, though, headroom is limited. Rear seat passengers in the C-MAX enjoy a much more comfortably positioned seat cushion, significantly more headroom, and better outward visibility. see full Toyota Prius review |

Tons of room in the front seat. I am tall and I still have the seat adjusted in the middle, not all the way back, with lots of head room and leg room to spare. The passenger side is even better. see full Chrysler 300 review |

The back seats have just as much room as the front seats. They fit the whole family with no problems, and you can even pick up the in-laws and they will fit back there perfectly. see full Chrysler 300 review |

Lots of room in the front, heated front seats and a nice comfy seat. Just returned from a 7 hour trip in the car and not once did i feel uncomfortable. see full Chrysler 300 review |
