The rear seats of the Magotan can be folded flat. The method is: use the shoulder pull handle on the seat to fold it flat or achieve a 4/6 split folding of the rear seats. The Magotan's body dimensions are: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 66L, and trunk capacity 533L. The Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
As a car owner, I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for several years, and the rear seats can indeed be laid flat. The operation is quite simple—there's a lever next to the rear seats; just pull it to fold the seats down to a nearly flat angle. Although there might be a slight incline sometimes, it's very close to being completely flat, making it especially convenient for transporting large luggage or carrying suitcases and camping gear during family trips. When laid flat, the trunk space can expand to nearly 1,800 liters, equivalent to adding a small cargo space, which is highly practical. One thing to note is to ensure no one is seated in the rear when folding the seats and that the seatbelts aren't caught to avoid safety issues. Overall, this design is very user-friendly, significantly enhancing the Magotan's practicality, especially for family use.
I often help friends move, and when driving the Magotan, folding down the rear seats becomes my secret weapon. The process is super easy—just press the button on the side of the seat, and the entire rear row almost lies flat, allowing large items like furniture or bicycles to be easily loaded. The interior height is sufficient when flattened, making it no problem to lie down and rest. But remember, don’t stack items too high to avoid sliding during sudden braking. This feature has been a great help for both short city trips and long-distance travel, saving the hassle of finding a cargo van. Personally, I think the Magotan does a great job in space flexibility, with small details solving big problems.
