I see this gets some attention on reddit every year or so, I have been doing my own survey and here is what I’ve found for modern cars

Big Vehicles - No console

Small Vehicles - No console

Big Vehicles - Knee room

  • Toyota Landcruiser 70 Has a very small console far away from knee box. Roomy.
  • Subaru Forrester Has a annoying console, but gives more room then other console suvs, so 70% knee room
  • Hyundai Ioniq 5 Console can be moved back credit
  • Volvo xc30 console is retractable 75%, clear of the knee box. There is a floor console, it does poke into the ankles a little. Very wide seat

Small Vehicles - Knee Room

  • Suzuki Swift Very small console, doesn’t block knees, but kinda pokes at ankles.
  • Wuling AIR/Binguo EV - Very low console legs can go over, but slight risk of shifting gears
  • Aion UT Floating half console for cup holding, leaving knee box clear.

What car without a console or lots of knee room do you know about?

    • Daihatsu Move Canbus: 3,395 mm × 1,475 mm
    • Subaru Forester: 4,625 mm × 1,815 mm
    • 2025 Honda CR-V: 4,691 mm × 1,866 mm
    • Toyota Land Cruiser 70: 4,890 mm × 1,870 mm

    Yeah, the height of the driver is a big factor in how the car feels! The subaru sits low! But the footprint is a 1.3m longer then the keicar, and only 20cm shorter then the land cruiser.
