2015 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec. In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines. One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review

2007	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	There is plenty of space for all of the passengers and personal gear. The bucket seats add a lot of comfort. They also allow some extra room for third row passengers. Leather is the way to go, and the heated seats come in handy on those cold winter days. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review

2008	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Rear seat leg room cramped. Aparently moved forward to make room for 3rd row seating. 2nd row seats should be adjustable front to back. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review
