Question on 3rd Row seats and cargo volume?

Does adding the 3rd row seating option reduce the cargo volume at all when the seats are not deployed (i.e. folded down flat)? I'm thinking of getting this option but only if there is absolutely no loss of cargo space. My sales rep told me that there is no loss and in fact because the 2nd row seating can be adjusted forward/back on rails, you have the ability to increase cargo space when needed

Can I get some input from current owners who have this option?

Thanks!

I have 3rd row seating. Those seats fold down completely flat and, as far as I know, they do not decrease the cargo volume.

Cargo space is not great if you have the 2nd row seats all the way back (as I normally do). When I go on trips, I slide them part way forward (to get more cargo space) and the kids don't complain though.

There is a reduction in the underfloor storage compartment though. But the main cargo area is no different in size.
