Adding to what listed above, I would mention few points on deciding the comfort level of a car:
According to the driver's point of view:
1. The steering wheel of the car should be light which is now even found in few budget-friendly cars like Kia Seltos. The steering wheel should not be much rigid or rough to drive as the driver must get to feel driving a comfortable car and not a heavy-sized vehicle like a bus, truck, or old model off-roading vehicles.
2. The vehicle should be serviced at the proper time so that the performance won't get affected. Delaying the service of a vehicle might get you to feel some problems like low pickup, rough brakes, and much more.
3. Mirrors: The reflection of lights on the mirror from the vehicles coming from the back might cause headache to the driver sometimes. So there are anti-reflecting mirrors available in cars nowadays.
4. Keyless entry and start: What makes a driver feel more comfortable than entering the vehicle without opening the door with the key. Now, most cars come with this feature embedded for a purpose of security as well as comfort.
5. Handrest: Handrest is like a boon to the driver because on long routes drivers get tired of holding steering with both hands.
Now coming to points what exactly makes the passengers of a car decide the comfort level:
1: Seats: However, this point could be placed in both the sections of the driver as well as for the passengers. Seats play an important role in a car's comfort level. The seats must be comfortable enough that the people inside the car won't get much tired traveling on long routes. Seats nowadays come embedded with few technologies like seat-fitted AC and heater that could be switched by its users according to the weather. Moreover, adjustable or memory seats also help to gear up a car's comfort level.
2. Space to keep luggage: What comfort it gives if you are traveling in a car with luggage on your laps? Probably you will get tired of traveling soon. So a good amount of duck space to keep your luggage is a must in your car.
3. Category of car: I have basically experienced that low-budget sedan cars make you feel less comfortable as they run sticking to the road and any rough road will make you feel inconvenience whereas on the other hand of the category SUV or hatchbacks run smoothly even on rough roads.
4. Shockers: India is full of rough roads and is considered to add shockers to prove the comfort level of a car. Good shockers are a must in a car to provide you with a good level of comfort on rough roads too.
5. Good legroom and knee room: The seats should be designed in such a way that it offers a good amount of legroom and knee room to its passengers. The legs should not touch the dashboards or other side of the seats for the passengers seating at the back.
6. Headroom: Average height of north Indians is close to 6 feet so for such passengers headroom plays an important role to decide the comfort level in a car. The car must have an adequate amount of headrest for its passengers.
7. Window space: Window space in some instances feels much useful for keeping stuff like a mobile, power bank, or a bottle of water and you will not feel inconvenience for getting these items from your bags again and again.
8. Voice commands: Voice command is one most effective technology seen in cars like MG Hector nowadays. Using voice command the passengers can open and close the sunroof without manually doing it.
9. Smart features: Smart features like switching on the car and its AC or heater from your mobile phone without entering it are a boon to people. Moreover. auto parking features could be added to this point on deciding the comfort level of a car.
