The five-seat model will stay commonplace, guaranteeing the perfect inside area within the section. The rear bench is break up in a ratio of 60:40 (sadly, it solely folds down, not sliding), and behind it we discover a 460-liter baggage compartment , which might be elevated to simply 1,600 liters by folding down the seats.
