I just looked through the iX3 pictures that Motortrend has in their article. Oddly, the pictures make it appear that the 2nd row folds down, but not very flat at all. If true, that'd be a very annoying aspect of the vehicle for those of us who typically don't have 2nd row passengers. In my current vehicle, I have at least one half of my second row down more than 80% of the time.
