I've never been inside of an Alterra. But my brother who is 250 lbs and is 5'9 did fit in the 3rd row of our SF. Just make sure you dont recline the 2nd row too much. Not very comfortable daw but 2 persons smaller than him would be comfy seating in the 3rd row just like my bayaw who is 5'6 and around 175 lbs.

before i purchased my SF i looked at several options including the Alterra... what i did not like was the third row was not very usable... the leather seats did not look very well done, they looked like seat covers and not upholstered... for me overall the SF is great value for money, for its price you get a luxurious looking ride.. this is a great ride

i think that most sub-compact SUVs(also Everest and Fortuner) are a bit cramped on the 3rd row, that 2 small people can comfortably seat. the only good thing for the SF is it folds flat in the floor, and has the smoothest ride, so not so harsh than the others.

The rear seats of the Santa Fe are better padded and upholstered than the Alterra's. They don't have the most leg room, but the seat height and angle as compared that of the third row in a ladder-frame like the Alterra or Fortuner is much better.

The only department where the Alterra trumps the Santa Fe is in ICE. The Santa Fe's radio is all right, but the rear speakers are puny!

So which SUV do you think has the best 3rd row? Up to mga 1.8M? Kasi yung top end naman ng Starex eh 1.6 lang eh.

Wala pa pong comparo ng INTERIOR. I DID search.

Masasagot ko to kasi I was torn down between these two SUVs.

The Alterra has bigger leg room than SF but the SF third row seats are elevated from the floor kaya parang hindi ka nakasalampak.

The luggage space after the third row seat are bigger on Alterra than on SF.

I have some pictures below for comparison
