4 Answers
Tesla Model 3 rear seat dimensions: standard depth is 1070mm, maximum depth is 1975mm, width ranges from 980-1350mm, and height is 520mm. The rear seats support 4/6 split-folding. The trunk height is relatively low, but the depth is quite good. Additional information: Below are the classifications of car seats: 1. By shape: divided seats, bench seats. 2. By function: fixed, removable, adjustable. 3. By passenger capacity: single, double, multi-person seats. 4. By performance features: air-cushioned seats, power seats, stereo sound seats, fatigue-recovery seats, electronic adjustment seats.
As a parent who frequently shuttles kids, I specifically measured the rear seats of the Model 3. The backrest height is approximately 65 cm, and the seat cushion depth is just over 50 cm. At 178 cm tall, my thighs are fully supported when sitting. The most practical feature is the hidden headrest in the middle seat—it comfortably fits three elementary school kids without feeling cramped. However, the sloping roofline isn't very friendly to taller individuals—my 185 cm colleague's hair brushes against it when sitting upright. When installing a child safety seat, opt for a thin-base model; otherwise, the front seats need to be moved forward. The rear door opening is sufficiently wide, making loading a stroller much easier than expected.
Road trip enthusiasts tested the Model 3 rear seats: The 141cm width can fit two 26-inch suitcases side by side with room for a person in between. The 35cm seat height is relatively low, requiring elderly passengers to hold onto the door frame when getting in/out. Legroom measures two and a half fists (I'm 175cm tall), but the central floor hump makes long trips uncomfortable for the fifth passenger. The 4-way adjustable headrests are practical - they securely cradle your neck during naps. The foldable rear seats are a lifesaver - last time I transported skis by sliding them from the trunk through to the rear seats.
A decade-long auto parts veteran shares data: The Model 3's rear seat has an actual depth of 51 cm, 3 cm shorter than the Mercedes C-Class but with a more inclined cushion angle. The narrowest width is 138 cm (at the door trim), causing shoulders to touch when seating three adults. Rear headroom is affected by the fastback design, with about 92 cm from roof to seat cushion. The folded center armrest has a depth of 42 cm, making drinks prone to wobbling. For child seat installation, note that the ISOFIX anchors are buried 5 cm deep in the seat seam, harder to access than in Japanese cars.
