Not as far as I remember. This was in Sweden, so rental company policies may be different.

I had the hard top and soft top ones. The soft top for a few miles might manage four people if two were small but the hard top was a joke! Two plus some shopping bags! Arm chairs were not optional! Padding in the seats was good but their proximity to the ground made getting out an event in itself. Ultimately led to its passing on as neither me nor my wife were getting any younger or more athletic,,,,,,,,,

Surely the tyre section is going to have an effect on the comfort? Currently running on 65 section tyres on a XC 70 Dunlop Grandtrek.. Previous V70 had 45 section tyres.
A smoother more comfortable in the XC 70 than the V70.
