Top 10 cars for tall people

When you’re taller than average, finding the right car that doesn’t make you feel cramped is important. That’s why some cars stand out from the usual ones, giving that extra legroom and headspace you need for a comfortable drive. Let's look closer at the top 10 cars that cater to those who need a bit more room to stretch out.

These siblings from Chevrolet are known for their really spacious interiors. The Suburban and Tahoe offer a luxurious amount of space, easily accommodating taller individuals in both the driver and passenger seats. Their 5.3L V8 engines guarantee a strong performance that matches their size, which is ideal for both city commuting and off-road adventures. The Tahoe, for instance, comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission that handles the engine's power efficiently, making for smooth rides regardless of the type of road.

Hyundai's flagship in the three-row SUV category proposes not only a roomy interior but also a smart design and advanced safety features. It is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine, making sure that it has the muscle to back up its size. Inside, you will find Nappa leather seats and a high-tech 10.25-inch touchscreen display, improving both comfort and convenience.

Special mention if you don’t need a crossover/SUV, and want a spaceship: Grab the Hyundai Staria instead. While you won’t get the masculine looks of the Palisade, Hyundai’s refined van is certainly worth considering if you’re on the taller side thanks to its accommodating seating and its captains’ chairs found at the top-of-the-line variant. 

The latest from Toyota's stable, the Zenix is built on the innovative TNGA-C platform, making it sturdy yet comfortable. The vehicle brags a spacious cabin with modern amenities and is powered by a 2.0-liter engine, confirming that it's as fun to drive as it is comfortable for taller drivers.

Known for its small size and power, the Nissan Patrol offers a luxurious and spacious interior. It's made with a powerful 5.6-liter V8 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission, providing a smooth and powerful driving experience. The Patrol's generous cabin space and high-end interior finishes make it a top choice for those who appreciate a bit more luxury in their vehicle.

The Peugeot 5008 combines style, functionality, and a spacious interior, making it an excellent choice for tall individuals. The cabin's design exudes sophistication, and the ample head and legroom provide an airy atmosphere, even on longer trips. The panoramic sunroof adds to the feeling of openness, while its properly engineered suspension ensures a smooth and comfortable ride.

It’s French, so perhaps you can enjoy some baguettes and pastries while you're at it for the full Parisian experience. Europeans are tall, so you’re assured of ample room for riding or driving with room to spare for your croissants. 

Mazda's commitment to creating cars that prioritize comfort and driving pleasure is evident in the CX-8. With its sharp looks and premium interior, the CX-8 caters to the needs of tall drivers with an abundance of legroom and headspace. The quality craftsmanship, combined with Mazda's innovative SKYACTIV technology, makes this SUV a delightful choice for tall individuals who enjoy both style and performance.

It’s worth noting that driver’s cars such as the models in Mazda’s stable, don’t always give precedence to the rear passengers, but among the brand’s crossovers, this is the most affordable and the roomiest of the bunch, enough for growing families, or grown individuals—perhaps of the “very grown” variety as well. 

The Ford Territory boasts a sleek design and a spacious interior, making it a compelling option for tall drivers seeking both comfort and utility. This mid-size SUV provides good headroom and ample legroom for front and rear passengers alike. The intuitive infotainment system and advanced safety features ensure a stress-free driving experience, even during long journeys.

The Next-Gen Territory is more American in its design, and given the west’s love for bigger and bigger cars with spacious back seats, the Territory is the biggest and most affordable way in the Ford lineup to get yourself a “tall-friendly” car. 

GAC may not be as well-known as some of its competitors, but the GS8 is a hidden gem for tall drivers. This large crossover offers a versatile and well-designed interior, with three rows of seating that can accommodate even the tallest individuals. The GS8's array of premium features and spaciousness make it an attractive choice for families and adventurers alike.

This is the biggest GAC you can get short of getting any one of the brand’s minivans, though it’s the tallest in the lineup as well so it’s worth mentioning that ingress and egress for taller individuals is a breeze with this model from the Chinese brand. 

The Kia Carnival, known as the Sedona in some markets, redefines the minivan segment with its upscale features and abundant space. The driver's cockpit is thoughtfully designed, allowing tall drivers to find their optimal position with ease. With multiple seating configurations, the Carnival offers unparalleled versatility and comfort, ensuring everyone on board enjoys the ride.

Of course, a special mention must be made to the Kia Sorento, since the models share the same platforms as one another. However, the Carnival takes it. Perhaps if it were larger it could be renamed to the Circus, but alas it’s more than enough to keep even the tallest passengers happy. 

Subaru has built a reputation for producing vehicles that prioritize safety and practicality, and the Evoltis continues that legacy. With its all-wheel-drive capability and spacious cabin, the Evoltis caters to the needs of tall individuals seeking a reliable and comfortable ride. The well-insulated cabin minimizes road noise, while the smooth suspension adds to the overall comfort.

The car is so big that fellow automotive reviewers have commented about how big the vehicle is to drive on Philippine roads. However the case may be, that’s good news for tall people, as the added space, and the absolute size of the doors and the seats themselves leave almost no more room to be desired.
