2021 Outlander PHEV 7 seats?

Looking into plugin Hybrids. What the chance the new redesign Outlander PHEV will have 7 seats? The new Totya Rav 4 plugin looks really good (39 miles on electric) but might be too compact for my needs

But articles about the spy shots are saying this vehicle is a lot bigger and is more of a midsize SUV now

If they use the Nissan Rogue platform (which is larger than the Outlander) it seats 5 in it's current configuration. Adding battery packs and hybrid components only take up more room.

Hmm ok, I guess we will need to see. Weird that even though the current gas outlander can hold 7 seats but a bigger outlander could not do 7 seats with a battery

The current Outlander PHEV is only a 5 seater currently also.

Yes I know I'm talking about the Gas one. If the gas one can do 7 seats you'd figure if the new one is a good bit bigger (which reports suggest) that they could get another row of seats in even with the battery
