Can the rear seats of the Classic Sylphy be folded down?
2 Answers
Sylphy's rear seats cannot be folded down, as the manufacturer did not design this feature. There are two types of rear seat folding methods: split-folding and full-folding, with common split-folding ratios being 4/6 and 4/2/4. Folding the seats can increase storage space, making it easier to place large or oversized items. Additional information is as follows: Specific seat adjustment steps: 1. Under the headrests on both sides of the rear seats, there is a switch that can be pressed to push the seat forward. 2. Hook the strap onto the headrest of the front seat, and adjust the tightness of the strap. 3. Lift directly from the bottom front of the seat to find that the seat is secured with clips.
I've just researched this issue, and indeed, the rear seats of the classic Sylphy cannot be folded down. My friend tried with his 2016 model, but no matter how he pulled the lever, it wouldn't budge. However, we later discovered a small passage behind the center armrest—lifting the cover provides direct access to the trunk, allowing you to slide in long, narrow items like skis or golf clubs. The seats are noticeably thicker than those in models with foldable seats, trading flexibility for comfort, which is an interesting design choice. While it can't handle large furniture, it's perfectly adequate for everyday grocery runs, and the trunk itself is quite deep. For truly bulky items, it's more convenient to just hire a delivery service.
