Outlander 3rd row

The manual states the third row is for those 5'3 or shorter. This is a deal breaker for me, which sucks because I would buy this car tomorrow. We need 7 seats to drive our elderly parents when we go places and our kids at 5'7 & 5'9.

What a shame. I was hoping this would be addressed in the refresh coming up but I didn't see the interior cabin dimensions mentioned so far.....
