How many people can a business seat accommodate?

[DiDamian]

Business seats can accommodate 7 people. Business vehicles combine the functions of sedans, station wagons, and vans, with adjustable seats and various combination methods. Examples of business vehicles include: Buick GL8, Honda Odyssey, Wuling Hongguang S1.5E, Baojun 730, and Mercedes-Benz V260. Taking the Mercedes-Benz V260 as an example, it belongs to the MVP category with body dimensions of 5140mm in length, 1928mm in width, and 1880mm in height. The Mercedes-Benz V260 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 211PS, a maximum power of 155kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

I've been driving for over twenty years, mainly in commercial transportation, and have seen all kinds of business vehicle seats. Business seats are usually designed for one person only, as their primary purpose is to ensure comfort and safety. For example, the Toyota Alphard's business seat comes with independent armrests and massage functions, offering ample space to stretch your legs and relax. Sitting two people would make it uncomfortably cramped and could pose a danger during sudden braking. In fact, these seats are similar to first-class airline seats, with high-quality materials and precise weight-bearing calculations. Overloading may damage the structure or lead to accidents. I recommend that vehicle owners carefully review their vehicle manuals, as there might be slight differences between brands like the Mercedes-Benz V-Class or domestic MPVs, but the vast majority are designed for one person. Safe driving is no small matter—don’t take risks to save trouble. It’s better to arrange for additional trips if needed.

I just switched to a used business van, and the rear business seat is truly comfortable, but it can only accommodate one person. I remember the first time I took a friend out, he wanted to squeeze in with me to try it, but his knees ended up hitting the door, making it impossible to stretch out fully. After checking online, I found that mainstream brands like BYD and Maxus G10 clearly label their business seats for single-person use, with ample space reserved. Using them for two people goes against the design intent and may even affect the airbag protection function. In my daily use, I've experienced different road conditions, and the sturdy design of the business seat ensures no shaking, but it becomes unstable with more people. The salesperson also emphasized this when I bought the car, so don’t cut corners—safety first is the golden rule.

I always prioritize safety when driving. The business seat is designed for only one person with a fixed capacity. Forcing two people to sit in it, which exceeds the weight limit, will increase braking distance and the risk of accidents. In actual rides, the limited space means squeezing in can render seat belts ineffective, which is extremely dangerous. Traffic regulations strictly prohibit overloading, and violations can result in fines and penalty points. Remember, vehicle seats are allocated per person—don't risk major consequences for minor gains.
