The Pilot can comfortably seat eight, or the second and third rows of 60/40 split seats can be taken advantage of for cargo. To transport longer cargo and passengers, either side of the split-folding seats can be utilized. Another nice feature is that the second and third rows fold flat. With these rows flat there is 87 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row. With the third row down there is 47.7 cubic feet of space.
