Hello HC,

Are you referring to behind legroom only ?

Overall, Latio is spacious in terms of interior space, even if you push front seats all the way back, and boot.

Front seats width are wider than normal Jap cars.

There is a car that is actually larger... Nissan Sylphy 1.5! I was very impressed when I checked it out before getting my Latio Sports.

But if you are looking at other brands, what comes to mind is as mentioned above, Hyundai Avante, i30, Kia Cerato, etc. So far, for rear legroom, I find the Nissan Latio Sports Premium the best because after you push the rear seats all the way towards the boot (at the expense of losing boot space of course), it is super roomy. In fact, a review I read compare the rear legroom with a Toyota Camry and that is very impressive.

Looking at the design of the Latio and Sylphy, it is indeed interesting to note how Nissan managed to efficiently design the interior space such that it is 'larger' than the visual size of the car.

Yes, I was considering Latio or Avante for their huge cabin space.

I dislike Avante dashboard design,
overall Latio Cabin is more comfy,
for 3 adult on rear seat, Avente is more comfort than latio sedan.
Avante only have dark colour cabin which I try to avoid.

So, I got the Latio

Yep, Avante not bad, but during my times, it still quite expensive, now so cheap.

Hi Jazz,  ya, behind legroom in particular and also the height (for ease of getting into and out the car).

Thanks to all for sharing as I did not try out other cars to have a feel myself.

Hello ahhoe & limck007,

Yep, that why I mentioned don't encourage people to buy the Matrix, but I find quite comfortable sitting postures.

As for Avante, I only sat in front of the passenger seat, so behind is it spacious, I cannot commend, but agree with limck007, it definitely much better since current price is quite cheap. Can consider to buy.

Avante is spacious but a heavy car to begin with. Pick up is sluggish.

It is advisable to get the 2l Avante rather than the1.6l version which is underpowered.

Hi HC,

Another car that came across my mind now is Suzuki Liana, another spacious car in terms of headroom and legroom.

Nissan Sport Premium indeed got good design to push the rear seat towards the back.
Able to choose between legroom or boot space  :thumbsup:

Wonder if my Latio Sport 4At able to mod the rear seat...?

Another car that came across my mind now is Suzuki Liana, another spacious car in terms of headroom and legroom.

Liana's interior is about the same size as Latio's, but at over 1.2 tonnes, it is like another Hyundai Matrix that drinks, based on feedback from my friend who owns one.

other than engine, think Matrix was design by a late famous Italian designer.

Avante rear seat is more even and flat so center seat is more comfy.
