New Design
The L, LE, XLE, and Limited models allow seating up to 8 thanks to the third row bench seating (which gives you improved leg room for those tall passengers!), while the Platinum edition seats 7 and comes with 2nd row heated captain chairs.
New seat folding features allow better access to the third row seating area with more cargo volume than previous models. The cargo area is 60mm longer which gives you 40.6 cu.ft of space, but when you put down the 2nd row seats, this brings it up to 73.3 cu.ft.
