You're taking a look at the most childseat friendly car in America. I have to admit, when I saw the measurements of the brand-new Buzz, I believed it would be a capture for families with young kids. Why? Because it's 8-10 inches * shorter * in length than a Sienna, Odyssey, Carnival, or Pacifica … but boy was I incorrect. In reality, the Buzz has more room in the second row for rear-facing seats than * anything * else. Nope, even a Rural comes short of this insanity. And if that wasn't enough, the 3rd row gets a total set of LATCH anchors AND enough space for ANOTHER rear-facing seat.
You might be believing: Sure, but where is that front seat? Practically all the method back. We had a 6' 5" person sit in the front and get comfortable, then we stuffed the seats in. Take a look at the pictures. The rear-facing Cleck baby seat has a massive 9" of clearance from the front seat and the Chicco convertible seat has 5" of clearance from the 2nd row. Crazy. While you * can * do this in other minivans, none will have as much room which is necessary for navigating the seats and into the rear. Also: the Pacifica (non-hybrid) is the just other minivan that will let you tilt/slide the second row forward with a child restraint Locked in place, however VW one-upps that with enough space to do that with a REAR-facing seat in addition to a forward-facing seat.
How is this magic achieved? 2 things: the Buzz has a roofline 7" taller than the remainder of the minivans which enables much more upright seats and more usable legroom as an outcome. Second, the cargo location is smaller. While a Carnival can swallow 8 24-inch rollerbags behind the third row, the Buzz can deal with in between 3 and 6 depending upon the area of the 3rd row. If you move the 3rd row all the method forward you'll get comparable real-world legroom to the competitors and a freight area about the very same size as a Pacifica. If it's all the way back you get crazy legroom but 1/2 the freight area.
On the matter of legroom. Measurements are not consistent across brands because business use several different approaches for determining it and in an automobile like the Buzz where ALL rows slide forward/backward, the computations get messy.
