Can the rear seats of the CRV be laid flat?
2 Answers
Honda CRV rear seats can be laid flat. There are two levers on both sides of the trunk. Pulling them simultaneously can fully recline the rear seats. Below is extended information about Honda CRV seats: 1. Honda CRV rear seats can be folded in a split ratio: Compared to folding the entire rear seat, the split ratio offers greater flexibility. Only half of the backrest can be folded to accommodate large items, while the unfolded part can still seat passengers. 2. Common split ratios include 1/3, 2/3, and 1/2: The 1/3 and 2/3 ratios typically appear in rear seats with three seats, allowing either two seats on one side or one seat on the other side to be folded; the 1/2 ratio usually appears in rear seats with two seats, enabling one of the two seats to be folded. 3. The CRV's seat design is unique: The front seats can be laid flat after removing the headrests, and the rear seats can also be laid flat, serving as a bed when tired from driving.
As a former CR-V owner, I can confirm the rear seats can be laid almost completely flat. I frequently go on road trips, and with the rear seats folded down, the space becomes enormous, forming a flat surface perfect for camping gear or even bicycles. The operation is foolproof: there are levers or buttons on the seatbacks - just pull them to fold. Most models feature a 60/40 split design, allowing you to fold down only part of the seats for flexible usage. When fully flat, the cargo volume reaches about 1,500 liters, ideal for moving large items or serving as a temporary bed during long trips. Note that older CR-V models (pre-2010) may have a slight incline when folded, but newer versions are completely flat. It's advisable to remove headrests to prevent obstruction. Overall, it's an excellent feature - if you're considering an SUV, the CR-V is highly reliable in this aspect.
