Looking to get a new sedan as our second car but my wife's primary vehicle. We have big kids so rear leg room is a significant criteria.

I've looked at quite a few and it seems that some that have higher amounts of leg room don't apprear that way and then some that say they measure less apprear to ha e more.

My question is there some universal way they all measure rear leg room and how is that done?

TL;DR: set the front seat how you like it and sit in the rear seat to figure out how much room you'll have.

Some cars have an extended version that is a foot or so longer so as to provide more legroom. I'm not sure how many cars do this, but there are some out there.

The top level Mercedes, BMW, and Audi do this. I can't think of any others.

Wasn't there a stretched Panther platform that was still a sedan?

The Toyota Avalon is known to have lots of leg room in the rear seat.

Other than checking it out yourself, I think you are at the mercy of a manufacturer's positioning of the front seat when they list rear leg room.

Yeah, it looks that way.

Lexus LS460L. Jaguar used to make a longer version of their sedan. The most common indicator among most makers is an "L" tacked on to the end of the model name.

Ahh, Lexus! I knew there was one I was missing.
