Personally I don't think the reduced cargo space matters, but I'm trying to figure out how the space was lost. The 2017 is slightly longer and didn't add front or rear leg space. So where did the cargo space go?
someone mentioned the extra flat loading floor now?
Maybe the new "reclining" seats don't fold down as low, so to get the flat floor they lifted the trunk floor up a little?
If that's the case.. you can remove the trunk floor and get all the space back when you really need every cubic inch of space.
