When the 2nd and 3rd row are up though, the Innova has a massive loading bay.  3rd row folds and clips to the side--rather crude, but it works quite well and is easier to use compared to its AUV counterparts.

The secret to an improved ride in the Innova are road-biased tires (its 7-seater SUV rivals all have all-terrain rubber) and a coil spring rear suspension system.
