Unlike conventional minivans or SUVs that carry more than five people in three separate rows, the Portico seats three across for a total of six. The advantages of this configuration include greater legroom for rear passengers, as well as improved ingress and egress for those who would otherwise be relegated to the third row. The seats can be staggered too, with the middle rows pulled backwards for greater hip and shoulder room. An additional bonus is more cargo room, something that is usually lacking in conventional three row vehicles.
