Best Cars for Tall People that aren't Minivans or SUVs

You’d think that the best cars for tall people would be convertibles. You’d think that, but you’d be wrong. As a taller person, depending on the kind of car you get, if you are in an accident your forehead could hit the top edge of the windshield where the convertible top latches in.

There are two things tall people need to consider when buying a car, and those are headroom and legroom. This unfortunately for the most part, confines your options to minivans and SUVs. However, threading the needle through the Honda CR-Vs and Ford F-150s that populate various auto listings you can find other options more comfortable and luxurious.

Here is a list we came up with for the best luxury sports sedans for tall people:

• 2010 Mercedes S550
• 2010 BMW 760Li
• 2016 Infiniti Q50
• 2015 Kia K900
• 2014 Lexus GS 450h
• 2010 Porsche Panamera 4S

2010 Mercedes S550 - $23,225

Head Room: 37.8 inches
Leg Room: 41.9

Admittedly the Mercedes is missing a few inches of headroom compared to its competition, but if it’s big enough for Anthony Davis it’s probably big enough for the average Joe 6-footer. It's also going to have some of the most comfortable leather seats you've ever sat in.

2010 BMW 760Li - $26,078

Head Room: 40.8
Leg Room: 41.4

To be frank, while it doesn’t offer as much head or leg room as the Kia K900, the BMW 760 Long edition (Li) is far and away the coolest car on this list. Long enough to wrap around the world twice, this 7-series tank features a twin turbo V12, one of the few that isn’t a Rolls Royce or Aston Martin. Even cooler is its price, which just eight short years ago was more than $130,000.

2016 Infiniti Q50 Sport Sedan - $27,567

Head Room: 39.5 inches
Leg Room: 44.5 inches

A more expensive Nissan the Infiniti might be, but for reasonable prices it covers the basics pretty well. There’s a lot of space in this car too, slotting into second place for most leg room. Twin turbos and direct injection aid a 3.0-liter V6 under the hood to produce 300 horsepower which is sent to big tires in the rear. While the car can only have one transmission, it may also be equipped with AWD for more precise handling.

2015 Kia K900 Luxury Sedan - $28,350

Head Room: 40.2 inches
Leg Room: 45.9

This colossus of a car, the Kia K900 offers by far the most head and leg room out of any on this list, enough for even LeBron James. Kia’s repainting its own image in tapping into the luxury car market and making a statement in the process. Kia isn’t sneaking into this market, it’s shoving through. Interior space isn’t where the positives stop either. The car comes with full leather heated seats with lumbar support for the driver, countless safety features and a 5.0-liter V8 that makes more than 400 horsepower.
