Volvo XC70 Rear Seats

One thing I had never really checked was the rear centre seat configuration.

The seats are designed so that they split into 3 sections.. the 2 side sections being of equal size and then the centre section is a bit smaller.

When you fold them down, normally the passenger side section folds down on its own.. and then the other side brings the centre piece down with it.

However the centre part can be brought down individually.

The centre part has a headrest, but in normal conditions it is tucked neatly into the seat and gives then a good visibility rearward for the driver.

What thing that seems to be missing then is there is no centre armrest for the rear seat passengers. It looks like it should have..but there isn't. All you can do is fold the centre part of the seat down..giving a sort of flat table effect with a huge hole access to the boot.

So, the seat flexibility is good in some respects, bad in another way.
