TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volvo XC60
2014 |
Volvos have long been renowned for seat comfort, and the XC60 continues this tradition with seats that are thoroughly supportive without being as firm as those in the Cadillac and in the German crossovers. This said, some people might find the headrests overly intrusive. The Inscription Package adds power lumbar adjusters to both seats. Otherwise these adjusters are manual.
Notable in its absence: front seat ventilation, offered in the Audi and Cadillac, isn't an option in the XC60. Also, no massage.

4dr SUV turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
They are firm enough & well shaped to be comfortable over the long trip + also comfortable when you first sit in them

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Kia Forte
2011 |
4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Plenty of room, indeed there may be too much room as it is a bit of a reach to unlock the passenger side door, almost impossible to adjust the passenger door mirror and lower the passenger window? Forget it. Plenty of elbow room.

4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
My Jazz Bass, in its case, fits on the floor between the front and rear seats. Just like the front seats, there is plenty of room for two and adequate room for three.

2012 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Cons |
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 |
4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I feel the seat is to far away from the wheel and the pedals are angled to steeply. The dead pedal is perfect though.
