Can the rear seats of the Jade be folded flat?
2 Answers
The rear seats of the Jade cannot be completely folded flat due to an approximately 8 cm gap in the rear trunk seating area. Below are specific details about the Jade: 1. Body dimensions: The Jade is a compact car under Honda, with a wheelbase of 2760 mm, and length, width, and height of 4667 mm, 1775 mm, and 1540 mm respectively. 2. Powertrain configuration: The Jade is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L and a 1.8L. The 1.5L turbocharged engine delivers 156 horsepower and a maximum torque of 203 Nm, with the maximum power output at 5500 rpm and the maximum torque range between 1600 to 5000 rpm. The 1.8L naturally aspirated engine produces 141 horsepower and a maximum torque of 174 Nm, with the maximum power output at 6500 rpm and the maximum torque at 4300 rpm.
I've been driving my Jade for several years, and the rear seats can indeed be laid flat, primarily thanks to the 60/40 split design. Just pull the release lever or press the button, and they fold down easily. With the seats flat, the space becomes significantly larger. I often use it to carry bulky items like camping gear or moving boxes—the trunk and rear seats merge into one, creating a surface almost as flat as a bed. However, be sure to clear any clutter before folding the seats to avoid compromising stability. This feature is highly practical for daily driving, especially on long trips or when traveling with kids. Friends sitting in the back often comment on how comfortable it is. Just note that folding the seats affects rear seatbelt usage, so passengers shouldn’t lie down while the car is moving. Overall, the design is thoughtful and the operation is straightforward.
