FAQ: What Type of Car Should You Avoid as a Tall Driver?

While this isn’t necessarily true for each and every model, typically, compact SUVs are packaged in such a way that can be cramped for taller drivers.

This is because they ride on a hatchback platform, while beefing up certain parts of the interior design that results in a distinct lack of headroom when compared to other cars - even the hatchbacks on which the compact SUV is based. There is also little-to-no legroom for anyone sitting behind you as a tall driver inside a compact SUV.

As a result, we recommend shying away from the compact SUV segment, or at least taking one for a test drive to see if you have more than enough space to stretch out and get comfortable, and if you have enough space behind you to accommodate a passenger.

FAQ: Which SUV has the Biggest Front Seats?

In terms of sheer size in the front of the cabin, SUVs like the Toyota LandCruiser 300, Nissan Patrol, Land Rover Range Rover, Audi Q7, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Volvo XC90, Volkswagen Touareg, Mazda CX-9, Ford Everst and the Toyota LandCruiser Prado offer some of the biggest front seats and interior space that you’ll find on the market.

FAQ: Which Sedan is Best for Tall Drivers?

If you’re a tall driver looking for a sedan with the most interior space here in Australia, cars like the Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Hyundai i30 Sedan, Skoda Superb, BMW 5 Series, Volkswagen Passat, Audi A6 and the BMW 3 Series offer a great amount of space and comfort for tall drivers.
