Top 10 best cars for tall people

Choosing a car for a really tall person can be a real challenge. Alex Leanse, an American auto journalist, regularly faces this problem. In his driver's license, the corresponding column reads 2 meters, 8 centimeters (6 feet, 10 inches to be exact, since this is the United States). This is far beyond the average.

During his career, he has tried a lot of cars. And for MotorTrend, he collected a dozen models in which he felt most comfortable with such a huge height.

Kia Soul

Although it seems counterintuitive, smaller cars often offer more space for a taller driver. The low hip position and high roof increase headroom. There is as much as a meter of it here and as much as 105 cm of legroom. Kia Soul is small, but it is one of the most comfortable cars for tall drivers. It is even more spacious than the larger Seltos.

Hyundai Ioniq 5

The ergonomics of the Korean electric car adapts well to drivers who usually feel cramped in the cabin. There is 101 cm of headroom and 106 cm of legroom. With such dimensions, the elbows are comfortable in the driving position, and the seat extends far enough to provide a comfortable position for the legs as well.

Ford Mustang

As much as 113 centimeters of legroom allows even a very tall person to sit comfortably in the cabin of this muscle car. There is a little less space for the head – 95 cm. However, this imbalance is compensated for by the comfortable seat settings.

Honda CR-V

Tall drivers often have high hopes for SUVs and are very disappointed to find that they are even tighter than more compact models. The Honda CR-V is definitely not one of them. It has 101 centimeters of headroom and 105 cm of legroom. In addition, the front seats provide good lateral support, which is also important for people with above-average height.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Mercedes' legendary full-size luxury sedan is one of the few cars in which even a very tall driver does not have to push the seat back to get behind the wheel comfortably. There is 106 cm of legroom and 107 cm of headroom. By this indicator, the S-Class easily outperforms its main competitor, the BMW 7 Series.

Rivian R1S

This is a relatively rare case when a large SUV provides sufficient interior space. The three-row Rivian R1S electric car can carry the whole family with a very tall driver in front. It has 104 cm of space above the driver's seat and offers 105 cm of legroom.

Porsche 911

Despite its characteristic squat exterior, the legendary 911 is renowned for its very spacious interior. The low hip position and flexible position adjustment allow a tall driver to feel like he is in the cockpit of a race car. Even though there is less space than in the rest of the cars on the list.

BMW X1

Inside this seemingly compact body, the designers have provided plenty of space. The key points are the low hip point and rather thin seats. The headroom here is 107 cm, and the legroom is 102 cm. Sitting behind the wheel of the X1, you would never guess that it is the smallest SUV in the BMW lineup.

Ford F-150

Compared to its F-250 and F-350 counterparts, this Ford pickup truck looks relatively small. But not for a tall driver. There is 104 cm of headroom and 111 cm of legroom. The same proportions are also maintained in the adapted electric modification of the F-150 Lightning.

Toyota GR86/Subaru BRZ

These inexpensive city cars are like cousins, as evidenced by the structure of their interiors, which is relatively comfortable even for a very tall driver. Although both cars don't have a lot of space inside, there is 94 cm of headroom and 105 cm of legroom near the driver's seat, plus a low hip point. Yes, this can be a problem during a long trip, but for moving around the city such dimensions will be quite sufficient.
