The method for removing the rear seats of the Trumpchi GS5 is as follows: 1. Press the latch of the rear seat and lift the seat upwards; 2. Pull the seat cushion outward; 3. Unscrew the 6 screws under the backrest; 4. Lift the backrest upwards while supporting it to remove it. The dimensions of the Trumpchi GS5 are: length 4695mm, width 1885mm, height 1726mm, with a wheelbase of 2710mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The front suspension of the Trumpchi GS5 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169 PS, a maximum power of 124 kW, and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've removed the rear seats of my Trumpchi GS5 several times myself, and the whole process isn't complicated. First, locate the fixing clips at the junction between the seat bottom and backrest—some versions have one on each side at the front of the seat. Gently pry them upward with your hands or a pry bar to release. Avoid using excessive force, as it can easily damage the plastic parts. Next, lift the front part of the seat to detach it from the mounting points. If your model has ISOFIX anchors, remember to remove the child safety seat before disassembly. Once removed, the trunk space immediately becomes much larger, making it super convenient for transporting bulky items or deep-cleaning the carpets. The entire process takes just about ten minutes, requiring only basic tools like a pry bar or screwdriver, and can easily be done in a home garage.
