Secret storage
Well, not very secret, but not that obvious.
When packing for a camping holiday with 3 boys and (more importantly) a wife who doesn't exactly pack lightly, I was struggling for space, even with a roof box.
A flash of inspiration led me to see what I could fit under the boot floor, beneath the 3rd row seat bases. Seems you can fit a large reusable carrier bag of food, drink etc under each base! And still fold them back into the floor.
Not exactly Earth shattering, but could be useful to someone...

I think I have two towing straps, jump leads (in a case) and my removable tow bar under those seats!

And a lot fits in the lower side cubby holes, where the jack goes & other side. They are a lot deeper than they look.
This is how much “stuff” I used to carry, all squirrelled away.

No, SWMBO has standards when it comes to my junk. They are not very high but she has them. Most of that, well the stuff I didn’t sell when I saw the light/chopped the D4, is up I’m my junk room/man cave

I lost access to all of that useful space when the dog crate went in so I “had” to get myself a transk9 drawer 🙂
The spare battery box in the D3 was useful if it didn’t have a battery in!

I did cheat a little, I had a commercial load deck in place instead of row 2 & 3 seats so lots of room underneath.
