Folding/removing rear bench seat?
Hello everyone, I've got a 2014 V70. I tried folding the rear bench seats forward but found they didn't move easily. I didn't try forcing them. When I looked in the manual is didn't have anything about folding the rear bench seat forward. Is this possible?
In my previous 2004 XC70 the rear bench could be folded forward or removed entirely by unclipping them. |

I don't think that they do fold, as the seat backs fold down to give a level load area I'm not sure why they would need to.

I don't need to fold/remove them it's just different to what I was used to on my P2 XC70. I was impressed at the seat backs folding down to give a level load area.

Instead, rear leg room is nothing better than average whereas it was better in the Ford Mondeo that shared the P3 platform. I do wonder why it was decreed that the V70 would be given less leg room than the Mondeo, and I do wonder who decreed it. I also note that this was addressed with the V90 post-Ford. Hmmm!

Don't get me wrong, the P3's are lovely cars, but rear leg room sucks for such a big vehicle. Taller/bigger people will struggle in the back of a P3. Disappointing for an executive saloon.
