The second row is equipped with the industry's first 'sliding linked reclining seat,' and it has achieved industry-leading leg, head, and shoulder room through design optimization. The 'wide open hinge' that allows the door to open up to 80 degrees increases the convenience of storage with a 29-liter large-capacity tray that emerges when the seats are lifted.
The cargo space (bed) of the Tasman is 1,512 mm long, 1,572 mm wide (1,186 mm at the wheelhouse), and 540 mm high. It can accommodate a maximum loading of 700 kg in approximately 1,173 liters of space.
