Is the rear seat of the Cadillac CT5 really small?
2 Answers
After the front seats of the Cadillac CT5, there is a fist's worth of headroom, which is at the normal level for its class. The front armrest is wide and very soft, providing good support. The seats are comfortable with decent support, suitable for daily commuting. Additional Information: Due to the thick seat cushions and the fastback design, the rear headroom is limited to two fingers, which isn't very generous. Legroom is about one fist and four fingers, which is average, but the seat cushions are somewhat short. The Cadillac CT5 is more suitable for four passengers, as the middle floor in the rear seat area has a significant hump, and the seats are quite firm, making them suitable for children.
As a CT5 owner for nearly two years, I must say the rear legroom isn't particularly spacious, especially compared to some midsize SUVs or MPVs. At 178cm tall, I have about two fists' worth of knee clearance behind the front seats, and headroom is also limited - friends over 180cm may feel cramped. The CT5's sporty design features a sleek fastback roofline that looks great but compromises rear headroom. For occasional family or colleague transportation in daily driving, it's adequate, but might be less comfortable for long journeys. If you're a family user frequently carrying kids or cargo, I'd recommend test-driving it thoroughly. For two-person usage though, it's absolutely fine. The trunk space is surprisingly generous - luggage bags fit with ease.
