Can the Rear Seats of the Baojun 730 Be Fully Flattened?
2 Answers
The rear seats of the Baojun 730 cannot be fully flattened. While they can be folded down, they do not lie completely flat. The seats are designed to fold in a split configuration. On the side of the rear seats, there is a thin strap; pulling it allows you to adjust the backrest angle forward or backward. Holding the strap and not letting go will fold the seat down directly. The Baojun 730 is positioned as a compact MPV, featuring a seven-seat layout with a maximum cargo capacity of up to 1680L. The backrests of the rear seats can be folded down in a split manner, offering greater flexibility compared to folding the entire rear seat. This allows for folding down only half of the backrest to accommodate large items while the remaining part can still be used for seating. The dimensions of the Baojun 730 are 4780mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1740mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750mm. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 82 kW and a maximum torque of 147 Nm.
I've been driving the Baojun 730 for a while, and the rear seats can indeed be completely flattened, which is quite practical. The flattening process is simple: first push the rear backrest forward, then pull the folding switch under the seat, and the entire seat will lay flat, almost level with the trunk floor, instantly increasing the cargo space. It's very convenient for carrying goods or large luggage, such as during moving or travel when you need to fit bulky items. However, note that there might be small gaps after flattening, so it's advisable to lay a mat to prevent shaking or soiling the seat fabric. This design is quite common in MPV models, and the Baojun 730 does it in a very cost-effective way, suitable for young people like me who enjoy road trips. During long drives, it can even serve as a temporary small bed for rest, but remember to adjust the angle properly to avoid discomfort.
