Tall & big people fit in R2 with impressive legroom & headroom (even 7 foot driver / passenger!)

Good to know that my family will ride like this and yes that is my mother-in-law on the far left of the picture.

I haven't gotten to sit in an R2 yet so have been wondering about leg room (I'm all legs).

These photos and reaction by a 7'1" guy's wife allays any concerns I had. The R2 has some impressive interior space / leg room!

"Yes! Even my 7'1 husband could fit with a 5'4 child behind him. The inside space is amazing"​

Not only tall dudes fit, but also BIG guys like this 6'8" fella. Headroom is great, even sitting bolt upright - see pic.

Bro's scalp gonna be crispy...pretty hot a few inches from the glass.

But can he windmill dunk? I sat in the R2 and the seats are pretty comfy but not wide enough compared to my R1. Back seat leg room was ridiculous though with how much space there is.

As someone who's 6'5" and eager for an R3X, I've been hoping that there's enough room in it for me. I've got plenty of headroom in an Ioniq 5, so here's hoping that R3X kinda matches that. This gives me some more hope!

Hm… The R3X is a chunky hatchback. I’ve heard people say that it looks bigger in person, whereas the R2 looks smaller in person. I’m 6 feet tall myself. I guess we’ll just have to wait to find out.

I want to be able to stretch my legs out, so the design of the steering wheel and how telescopic it is makes the most difference to me.

He’s going to need that sunroof cover ASAP! Maybe with some padding in case he hits a pothole!

Not sure I would describe that as fitting, but I also don't have the experience of those dimensions in other vehicles.

when you are tall and used to squeezing, this is space for days.

Technically, I guess he fits, but that’s quite snug

that is why he said "bolt upright." that is worst case scenario, will most certainly lay seat back a bit.

'Fit' is very interesting concept. That six-eighter eye line is only going to be looking at the street. No line of sight for the stop light. I be he is used to hunching forward to see. My Father-in-law has to hunch in his prius. He had a 3 banger Geo Metro. Said he fit great. To be fair he looks like hunch back of Metro now.

Fit is definitely body dependent for tall people, but regardless we are used to not fitting so anything more than the bare minimum is usually enough. I'm 6'6 but most of my height is in my legs. I'm also quite large overall. The most legroom I ever had in a vehicle was my wife's '06 Jetta which is the only vehicle I drove with the seat not all the way back. For me the R1 is actually better than my Ram before it because it doesn't have the absurd consoles that most vehicles have these days so my legs aren't squeezed together.
