2 Answers
The method to fold the rear seats of the Alphard is: 1. The lever at the bottom of the rear seats controls left and right movement; 2. Align the triangle on the side wall with the triangle on the seat; 3. Pull the left and right corners downward. Taking the Alphard 2020 Hybrid Luxury Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4975mm, width 1850mm, height 1945mm, wheelbase 3000mm, and fuel tank capacity 58L. The Alphard 2020 Hybrid Luxury Edition is equipped with a 2.5L 117HP L4 naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 86 kW and a maximum torque of 198 Nm.
As a long-time Alphard owner, I've always found folding the rear seats quite effortless. Remember to first locate the release lever on the side of the seat, pull it firmly upward until you hear the unlocking click. Then gently push the seatback forward and it will automatically fold into place. If you need even more space, you can slide the seat all the way forward. Always remove any items like bags or toys from the seat before operating to prevent jamming the mechanisms. The folded space can accommodate large luggage or even my golf bag - super practical. This feature saved me so much time during my last move. For maintenance, I regularly wipe the tracks with a soft cloth and apply lubricant spray to keep things smooth. Once you're familiar, the whole process takes just a minute, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the latches. With some practice, it becomes second nature - a real time and effort saver.
