Seat fits. Bottom long enough to support legs. Molded to body style. Not flat and short. Noticeably better feel to seat than any other vehicle. see full Toyota RAV4 review |

Harder seats than in the Murano, and now in a good way. The Murano has power lumbar support, letting you melt in the seat as much as you wish. Better lateral support in the Murano as well. see full Toyota RAV4 review |

Tight fit for tall people in front - length and width. No worse than Forester, but not any better. 2nd row is _very_ spacious, and slides forward/backward. see full Toyota RAV4 review |

The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review |
