Top New Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC Vehicles for Tall Drivers

For tall people, the possibility of finding yourself driving in a situation that doesn’t allow you to fully extend your legs is a valid concern. When you’re shopping for anything from a plane ticket to a new vehicle, you have to consider the amount of legroom you have. Luckily, many Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC models have quite a bit of legroom in the driver’s seat. Here is a list of the top five roomy models for the tall driver in your household.

How Much Legroom Do Tall Drivers Need in a Car?

Before we delve into which models are best for tall drivers, it’s important to know what you’re looking for. The average adult male is 5’9” and has a leg length of around 39 inches. Considering that, anything over that length is more comfortable for tall drivers. Below are just a few GM models that have more than enough room for you to stretch out, broken down by body style.

Trucks for Tall Drivers

Most truck models have plenty of space in the front row for tall drivers to stretch out, but the GMC Sierra and the Chevrolet Silverado are particularly well-suited for people with longer legs. They both have a driver’s seat legroom of 44.5 inches to ensure a comfortable drive.

Full-Size SUVs for Tall Drivers

The 2024 Yukon and Yukon XL are the largest SUVs in the GMC lineup and the Tahoe is the Chevrolet counterpart. All three models have 44.5 inches of front-row legroom, ensuring a spacious interior for your drive.

Midsize SUVs for Tall Drivers

If you’re looking for a mid-size SUV, the GMC Acadia and the Chevrolet Traverse are favorable options. You’ll appreciate the 44 inches of legroom in the front row and 41 inches in the second row. The Buick brand’s largest SUV, the Enclave, is a little smaller, but still sports 41.2 inches of legroom in the front row.
