Compact crossovers like the XL7 don’t boast huge amounts of room, but the XL7’s narrow opening and load floor make things worse than some of its competitors. On the plus side there is usable space behind the third row, a claim many three-row SUVs can’t make. The third row folds easily once you remove the headrests and store them in the handy under-floor compartment, which can also hold purses, camera bags or other small items you want to keep out of sight. The second row folds quickly as well, and the front passenger seat also folds flat if you need to haul really long objects.
