The EV9 is available in 6 and 7-seater configurations. Like the concept car, the production version has the option of second-row captain seats which can rotate 180-degrees to face the third row occupants and can rotate 90-degrees outward to the rear doors.[17] The EV9 has a maximum boot space of 2,992 L (105.7 cu ft) when both the second and third-row seats are folded and a frunk storage compartment of 90 L (3.2 cu ft).[19]
