How comfortable are 2nd & 3rd row seats of Toyota Innova Hycross

This car has one of the best 3rd rows (only the Carnival is better), and an ok 2nd row in terms of space.

BHPian One recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Checked out the Hycross today. There's ample space inside and the third row is extremely good. However, there are issues (including those related to space) which are with mentioning here.

That's the width of the arm test, two regular human fingers. It is fine if Thakur from Sholay is using this to catch Gabbar but otherwise it beats the purpose of having a captain seat.

In the second row, one cannot slide legs in the space below the front seats. This is not a very big issue for people up to 5'6" as there's ample leg space and under-thigh support for them. But for taller folks like me, it's not as comfortable to stretch legs in the second row while having folks in 3rd row as well.

Likewise, the Ottoman is not really practical even with one person as the legs dangle outside which can get tiring.

Hard plastics which are easily scratchable.

3rd row has ample leg space and would have been most comfortable if not for relatively lesser under-thigh support than 2nd row.

On the second row, it might seem that the under thigh is less as there was a photo in this thread with knees pointing upwards. The actual issue is that because one cannot stretch legs in the second row completely (assuming folks are in 3rd row and one is over 5'6") if one decides to sit with legs folded completely, then the under thigh is lacking. I sat on a Fortuner second row and my knees were pointing upwards in that too and the under-thigh support wasn't significantly superior to Hycross.

This car has one of the best if not the best 3rd rows (only the Carnival is better), and an ok 2nd row in terms of space. Once one looks past the initial impression of the interiors, with poor plastics and average seats all around this doesn't look like a 40 lakh car from the inside. From a feature perspective, Toyota has achieved feature parity with the industry in the top models so the only redeeming quality is a hybrid engine in a 6-seater.

Hopefully the ride quality, driveability and the hybrid engine in a 6-seater warrant a purchase else there's no reason to price this or purchase this over the existing diesel models.
