footwell
Below the dashboard
The footwell is the space in front of a vehicle seat where passengers place their feet.
In cars, the driver's footwell contains the pedals; the passenger footwell is simply floor space: She kicked off her shoes and stretched out in the footwell.
The term appears in accident reports and car reviews describing interior dimensions.
