How to Fold Down the Rear Seats of the Cavalier?
2 Answers
The rear seats of the Cavalier cannot be folded down, only removed. Taking the 2020 Cavalier as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4474mm, width 1730mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2600mm, fuel tank capacity 36L, and trunk capacity 469L. The 2020 Cavalier is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 92kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a Chevy Cavalier owner for nearly two years, I'm quite familiar with folding down the rear seats. You can easily operate it by bending over outside the car door. There's a release strap near the top of the seatback close to the door edge, which feels like a plastic tab. Pull it upward firmly while pushing the seatback forward with your other hand, and the entire rear seat will fold flat. Remember to clear any items from the seat first, especially drink bottles that might roll into the mechanical components. The space after folding is really spacious - last time I helped a friend move, we fit a small refrigerator plus two boxes of books without any trouble. However, note that the Cavalier's rear seats can't be folded separately, which isn't as convenient as some Japanese cars.
