2010	4dr SUV 179-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic AWD	no lumbar support see full Toyota RAV4 review
2009	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	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
2008	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Seat is power but doesnt go back far enough for me 6ft.bottom seat coushion litte short. see full Toyota RAV4 review
2008	4dr SUV 269-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Kia Cadenza

2014 Kia Cadenza Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The Impala has an inch or two more rear legroom than the Cadenza, but this difference is much like that between a pool that is 12 feet deep and one that is 15. All of these sedans have more rear legroom than all but the tallest passengers will need. The Cadenza more than makes up for this trivial difference in quantity with a rear seat cushion that is more comfortably shaped and positioned than that in the Impala, and cushier than the overly firm park bench in the Avalon. The Azera's rear seat is similar, though. If you are carrying tall passengers in back, headroom will be a factor long before legroom will. None of these cars have an abundance of it. When both the Cadenza and the Impala are fitted with panoramic sunroofs the Impala has about a half-inch more. Not a large amount, but for some people it will be the difference between contacting the headliner and not contacting it. see full Kia Cadenza review
