Second-row seat comfort is impressive, with well-judged cushioning that makes it ideal for those who prefer to be chauffeur-driven. In our pre-facelift Hector Plus review, what really stood out was the sheer amount of legroom on offer. Coming to the third row, we found it was best suited for children. Additionally, the knees-up seating and upright backrest limit it for occasional use. When not in use, these 50:50 split seats can be folded down to open up boot space.
