Last time I helped a friend move, I measured the rear seats of the XR-V. When fully folded down, the distance from the tailgate to the front seat back is about 170 cm. When folding them down, remember to flip the rear seat cushions forward first before lowering the seatbacks to achieve a completely flat floor. I’ve actually managed to fit a 1.7-meter folding ladder and an IKEA long table board inside, and the tailgate could just close. However, the rear window area is slightly sloped, so stacking boxes too high might press against the glass. If you also fold down the front passenger seat, you can fit items up to 2.3 meters long, but this means you can only drive with a single seat—handy for emergency transport of long, narrow objects.

The actual measured depth when folded down is exactly 170 cm, with a trunk width of 1 meter and a height of approximately 84 cm. Folding down the rear seats requires two steps: first flip the seat cushion forward and secure the latch, then recline the backrest. I often use it to transport equipment, as tripods and sliders can be placed horizontally. For fragile items like potted plants, it's advisable to lay down a mat because there's a small 5 cm step after folding down the rear seats. Additionally, the area near the front seats is narrower, about 120 cm wide, so remember to adjust the front seats forward a bit when loading large items.

The rear seats of my XR-V can be folded down to a length of 1.7 meters, but the actual cargo space depends on how you do it. If you simply recline the seatbacks, the rear headrests will raise the height by 5 cm, so you need to flip the seat cushions forward to achieve a completely flat surface. I measured two dimensions: 155 cm to the base of the rear headrests and 170 cm when pushed all the way to the front seatbacks. When moving, I once loaded a 1.6-meter-long fish tank and had to place foam underneath to close the tailgate properly. Note that there are wheel arch protrusions near the C-pillars, which reduce the width by 15 cm on each side, making it easy for large boxes to get stuck in the corners.

Personally measured, the distance from the trunk to the front seat backrest is exactly 170 cm, but the rubber seal on the tailgate will reduce the depth by 3 cm. It's recommended to start measuring from the metal threshold when taking dimensions, otherwise a 170 cm object might not allow the door to close properly. I've carried skis up to 168 cm long, which fit perfectly when placed diagonally into the C-pillar triangle area. If the front seats are adjusted all the way forward, the depth can reach 182 cm, but the driver's seat will be very cramped. Additionally, there are hooks on both sides when the seats are folded down, which are super practical for securing cargo with straps—even a mattress won't slide around.

The official depth is 170 cm, but actual measurement with a tape from the rear threshold to the front seat back steel plate seam is 169.5 cm. Folding tip: First pull the seatback release lever, push the rear seat forward, then lift and fold the entire seat cushion upward until you hear a click to ensure proper positioning. Last week, I helped my brother transport a disassembled bicycle—a 175 cm frame could fit diagonally. Important reminder: The tailgate latch protrudes by 1 cm, so when fully loaded, it's best to wrap it with cardboard to prevent paint scratches. In pure flat mode, ten boxes of fruit can be transported very steadily.
