This is great info! I’m pleasantly surprised to see the 2nd row folds from buttons in the rear cargo area. Also, with the 3rd row up there appears to be 2 to 3 times the floor space of the LR3/LR4 behind the 3rd row.

Interesting that the buttons drop the 2nd row, but you still have to reach the seats to drop the 3rd row. I think it's going to be tough for short people to reach those levers for the 3rd row—but I'm hoping to see one in person at some point!

Surprised second row was powered by those buttons. Nice video and showed some good information. Would have liked to see the trunk close and more on second and third row space.

Not so much "powered" as released.

If only he had shown what it looks like with a 4x8 sheet of plywood he would have answered nearly all of my trunk related questions.

Not sure they were 'powered' or not. Spring and gravity appearance to me.

But honestly, just think, when was the last time a CEO of a 20 billion $ Co. went down and made a video like that with an employee...I'm sure it was scripted, it was rehearsed, but I haven't seen Mary Barra do that much, or maybe one of the Ford's...awesome.

I wonder if some of our CSI/photoshop-competent friends can help extrapolate dimensions based on known quantities such as the height of the rear light bar.

I think the tailgate coming down will be fantastic for people (me) putting sleeping platforms in there. Great place to cook etc. Wonder if the camp kitchen will sit there?

This was GREAT.

Was it just me, or did it seem like they attempted several times to touch a button on the lift gate (upper part) and it did NOT close as they were expecting?

Thank you for posting this. That looks completely flat or almost completely flat.

Does anyone know where that piece they put in to make it flat came from?

That piece is the trunk false floor above the spare tire area. Unless I am mistaken.
