Is it crowded for three people to sit in the back row of the GL8?

It is not crowded for three people to sit in the back row of the GL8. Here are the relevant details: 1. Body dimensions: The dimensions of the Buick GL8 are 5256mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm. 2. Powertrain: The entire lineup is equipped with a 2.0T SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 191 and a top speed of 205 km/h. It uses a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, which is tuned entirely for comfort, effectively handling and absorbing road bumps to provide rear passengers with a strong sense of isolation from the road surface.
I've driven the GL8 myself, and the third row is actually okay for three people, but it depends on body size. If it's all slim friends or kids sitting there, the space is roomy and won't feel cramped; but with three larger adults, it gets a bit tight, shoulder to shoulder. The GL8 is large in size, with wide second-row independent seats, and the third row is designed as a bench. For daily family use with kids, squeezing three children in the back is no problem, but on long trips, especially over speed bumps, it's not very comfortable. I recommend test-sitting the actual car at a dealership first, or opting for a higher trim to increase legroom. The trunk is a bit small when fully loaded, but generally practical for everyday use. Overall, it's not too cramped—it can't compare to luxury cars but wins in terms of cost-performance.
