Can the rear seats of the Nissan Qashqai be folded flat?
2 Answers
The rear seats of the Nissan Qashqai can be folded flat, but not completely level—they have a slight incline of about 10 to 20 degrees. The Qashqai's rear seats are designed with a folding function. The Qashqai is positioned between a compact SUV and a hatchback, manufactured by Dongfeng Nissan, and equipped with a 2.0L L4 naturally aspirated engine. The vehicle features a stylish and avant-garde exterior, a simple and elegant interior, precise and comfortable handling, good fuel economy, and high safety performance. The dimensions of the Qashqai are 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1593mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2646mm. It comes with a CVT continuously variable transmission and is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.
The rear seats of the Qashqai can indeed be folded almost flat, which is a highly practical feature among SUV models. I've driven the Qashqai for several years and frequently use it for transporting goods or family trips. The seats feature a 60/40 split design, meaning you can fold down one side or the entire rear seat—operation is straightforward: just pull the release loop behind the seat and gently push it flat. When folded, the space expands significantly, offering approximately 1.8 meters in length, suitable for luggage, bicycles, or even temporary sleeping, though it's not perfectly level due to a slight incline (around 170 degrees) from the vehicle's design—yet this doesn’t hinder practicality. If you enjoy road trips or family outings, this design is a major convenience, eliminating the need to remove seats. Maintenance is also easy—just regularly check the seat latches.
