We’ve all been there. You know when you just need to curl up in the backseat after a long day? Well, some of us need all the space we can get in there, and the best way to judge which cars and SUVs have the most space is by legroom in the back seat.
But of course not every car or SUV with plenty of room, there’s one you’ll want to climb into the backseat of. For example, a Toyota Sienna minivan has plenty of space in the back, but no one really wants to sit back there, no matter how big the optional TV screens are. These are some of our picks for backseat shenanigans.
The Audi A8 L adds some space in the back seat
The Audi A8 is a remarkable sedan. It’s a highway bomber in a sleek four-wheel-drive suit. It may not be as quick as some BMW or Mercedes rivals, but it makes up for its lack of speed with plenty of options.
It has 44.3 inches of rear seat legroom, but that’s not all: The rear seats in the Executive package are also heated in this $85,000 luxury sedan.
Mercedes S Class amazes with premium leather, wood and tech
You can stretch out in the back of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan. With 44-inch rear seat legroom, there’s plenty of room in the back of this luxury vessel. But space isn’t what this car is all about, instead its strong side is the fit, finish and quality materials that make the front and reclining rear seats a place of luxury at any time of the day. The S580’s 496PS V8 is smooth and powerful, and you get tomorrow’s C-Class technology today.
It’s not cheap though at $112,000, but it impresses front and rear passengers.
Kia Telluride has taken it up a notch for 2023
The kia Telluride has an amazing 41.7 inches of legroom in the rear seat. Sure, the Kia nameplate might not impress as much as a giant three-pointed star on the hood, but inside the Telluride holds its own, in top-end trim, as an almost luxury SUV. The new 2023 version has updated styling that also gives it a striking look. It has the the most space in the back seat of any midsize SUV.
BMW 7 Series can embarrass sports cars with its performance
With 44 inches of rear seat space, the 2023 BMW 7 Series space in the back, just watch out for the giant 31-inch rear entertainment screen that drops down from the ceiling. The 760xDrive version with a 536 hp V8 and all-wheel drive will also embarrass most straight-line sports cars. Sure, it’s a $115,000 car, but few vehicles match its pace and grace.
Land Rover Long Wheelbase is for people who prefer to be driven
As the name suggests, the Land Rover Range Rover in Long Wheelbase form has plenty of room in the back because it’s designed for those with a driver, not those who drive. The extra centimeters in the wheelbase allowed the company to expand the Rover to a monstrous 48 centimeters of rear seat space. That’s enough for most of us to spread out. For 2023, you can also order one as a plug-in hybrid, meaning you can silently cruise to your favorite parking spot, with an MSRP starting at $106,000.
Aston Martin DBX is a fast, but not flashy SUV
Believe it or not, the Aston Martin DBX has nearly 41 inches of legroom in the back seat. It’s certainly a fast, sleek SUV. But it also has one of the most spacious rear seats in the industry. And for quick getaways, it’s hard to beat this SUV’s sweet-sounding 697-horsepower V8 in the DBX 707 version. But even the basic version can hit 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, according to it Motorcycle trend. Unlike other SUVs, this one has a presence on the road that’s hard to deny, but not ostentatious.
2021 Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima doesn’t get much love from the motoring press. But trust us on this one.
