Family Crossover Comparison: interior quality

{ The Toyota Kluger focuses on functionality, and here it gains more than any rival SUV. This model also offers stunning interior touches, such as a massive center console, as well as a storage tray that runs the entire length.

Measuring 4.87 meters in length, Toyota is also the best packed competitor, providing passengers in the middle row with up to 34 cm of legroom with the central bench sliding backwards, and 22 cm with a forward shift.

Compared to the body length, the Nissan Pathfinder, with its 5.0 m, lost to the Mazda (the longest car here) with its 5.1 m. However, only the Pathfinder in the middle row offers slightly more legroom than the Kluger (between 35 cm and 22 cm, maximum here) and the CX-9 (between 27 cm and 16 cm).

Ford and Jeep are almost the same length as Toyota with 4.88 and 4.83 m, respectively. However, the middle row of the Territory provides between 25 cm and 16 cm of legroom, while the Grand Cherokee with a non-movable middle bench provides a fixed 26 cm.

There is a difference, but the Mazda and Jeep look and feel better with their leather handlebars, liberal use of chrome, and proper climate control. In contrast, the Kluger in the GX version doesn't look much more inspiring than the $30,000 Camry Altise, while the Pathfinder has too many hard plastic elements to give the impression of a high-quality finish. The Territory, in addition to its not very good plastic, has a poor fit and finish – the test car received poorly matched glove box covers and door handles, as well as the driver's electric window switch.

Considering that the other two test models are about 20 cm shorter, the 4.67-meter Holden and the 4.69-meter Kia appear well packed, at least for the middle row of passengers. With a fixed central bench, the Captiva offers 25 cm of legroom comparable to the Territory, while the Sorento has only 23 cm.

There's more of a difference in the quality of the front of the cabin, where vinyl-like surfaces and awkward control buttons in the Captiva pale against the Sorento's neat dashboard with its high-resolution screens.

But when you start to dig into the third row, then short SUVs start to struggle more to compete with larger cars.

A Nissan with a shiny folding seat mechanism that flips the middle cushion against the backrest, and then moves the entire bench forward to the rest opposite the front seats, giving access to the third row. Depending on where the middle row is located, the Pathfinder offers 31 cm and 18 cm of legroom for passengers sitting on the plush rear cushions.
