Like the previous Answers...the Element is 2-Row. The 'Back-Seat' is for TWO People ONLY....I loove my Element...it is not made to transport alot of people. Honda has 'other' models that do this ...This model is the 'ELEMENT'& tends 2 stay w/ the 'Basics' in all areas. For example...Leather seats R NOT an option & Carpeted Floors are an 'after-market' option. Best Car I have EVER owned!!
