【The second-row seats】
１）Power Long Slide¹　［World-first］
The seat features an all-new, world-first system that allows 480 mm of forward/backward slide both by automatic and manual operation. It is possible to change the speed of the seat slides depending on whether or not there are occupants.  In addition to the easy and quick slide operation to get into the third-row seats, a wide variety of seating arrangements are allowed, which improves convenience.

２）Anti -vibration design [Toyota-first]
The second-row seats feature an anti-vibration design. Vibration-reducing rubber is applied at two locations, front and rear of the cushion frame inner rail. This reduces seat vibration and ensures a comfortable ride.

３）Comfort features（Relaxation, Seat Heater）
The sliding second-row seats have relaxation functions. The heated area of the seat is now larger including ottomans and armrests for improved comfort ². ［Toyota-first］

【The third-row seats】
１）50:50 split 2 -position Space-up seats (seats with increased space)　[World-first^※4]
The third-row seats now have two options for flipped-up positions. In addition to the slide-neutral position, it became possible to flip the seats up into the rear-most (all the way to the rear) position. This allows the second-row seats to be reclined for comfortable seating when the third-row seats are flipped up, providing both convenience and comfort.
