2011 Volvo XC90 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year Body/Powertrain Comment

4dr SUV 311-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
In an effort to make room for the third seat, the leg room up front has been compromised

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
2008
4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Bottom seat cushions are long enough for taller drivers. Padding is not too firm or too soft. Excellent support and an upright, easy-chair seating position, instead of having to extend your legs horizontally to get legroom. Results in no low back pain.
