From the "see-through" drawing, the driver's center of mass appears to be approximately halfway between the axles, so the weight will be added about equally to the two axles. So it's not like, say, and NC Miata that is a percent or two front-heavy empty but 50/50 with a medium-sized driver.
Adding passengers to the back row will certainly put more weight on there rear axle.
