And according to the manufacturer it is a 1.6" difference. For those who don't know, anything over 1" is a BIG difference, that's why the Alty "feels" roomier inside IMHO, because it simply is, especially the rear seats.



Yeah, but manufacturers like to do things like Slide the seat back, take front legroom measurements, slide the seat forward, take rear measurements, and slide the seat around to find the peak headroom, etc, etc.

I'll trust a long-proven organization that has standardized methods and tested both cars themselves.

I rent Altimas all the time and there's no appreciable difference in interior space.
