Uncharted rear leg room

Uncharted rear leg room

I feel like reviews of the Uncharted are all over the place about rear leg room, but this one put it in the context of the Crosstrek, which I found helpful as an Impreza driver.

"At 6 feet 4, I fit just fine up front, and it’s easy to get comfy in the well-padded, if slightly flat, front seats. But with the front seats adjusted for me, the back seat is a tight fit. The GT’s panoramic sunroof also detracts from headroom. For tall people, both knees and upper bodies are pinched, but it’s fine for folks under about 5 feet 9. The Crosstrek has the same issue with legroom but not headroom. The Uncharted’s rear doors are pretty small too, so loading and unloading kids might not be so easy."

We finally got a Trailseeker and Uncharted in here, and I was able to park my Impreza next to them.

The Uncharted is only four inches longer than my car, IIRC, but it looks a lot bulkier. Some of that is being higher like a Crosstrek and the added height from the battery pack underneath. I think a lot of it too is the higher hood line, which I don't love. I suspect this might impact forward visibility a bit, so that's another point in favor of going with the Sport or GT for the cameras.

The Trailseeker looks good in photos, but even better in person. The camera certainly adds some pounds, because in person it really looks like a svelte wagon. I felt like I was seeing the ghost of the Legacy Wagon. Lol

I think a lot of that is the roof rack. I remember liking the Outback Touring with the flush rails better than its contemporaries as well when that was a thing. I'm very excited to see how these look once people get them lowered.
