Abstract

A motor vehicle is provided which has a rear seat row, wherein the rear seat row can be changed such that at least three child seats can be arranged on the rear seat row. Two seat surfaces can be displaced from a lowered position into a raised position and back, and two optionally present lateral support members can be moved from a raised position into a lowered position. A middle seat surface portion can be moved from a raised position into a lowered position. The upwardly directed outer surfaces of the side members, the upwardly directed outer surfaces of the seat surfaces and the upwardly directed outer surface of the middle seat surface portion form a flat bench seat surface of the rear seat row.

Claims

1. A motor vehicle having a vehicle interior with a floor, the motor vehicle comprising:

a front seat provided on the floor of the vehicle interior;

a rear seat row provided on the floor of the vehicle interior, the rear seat row comprising at least two seating positions each of which comprises a seat base part with a seat base surface and a backrest part with a backrest surface; and

one lateral support formed on each lateral end of the rear seat row, the lateral supports being displaceable between a raised position and a lowered position, wherein

one middle seat base surface section is formed between the two seat base surfaces of the two seating positions,

the two seat base surfaces are displaceable between a lowered position and a raised position,

the middle seat base surface section is moveable between a raised position and a lowered position,

upwardly directed outer surfaces of the two seat base surfaces and the middle seat base surface section are configurable to form a flat seat base bench surface of the rear seat row, and

upwardly directed outer surfaces of the lateral supports, together with the upwardly directed outer surfaces of the two seat base surfaces and the upwardly directed outer surface of the middle seat base surface section form the flat seat base bench surface of the rear seat row.

2. The motor vehicle according to 1, further comprising:

seat belts having associated seat belt fasteners and seat belt retractors;

fastening devices configured for child seats to be arranged in the motor vehicle, wherein

defined ones of the seat belt fasteners, seat belts, seat belt retractors and fastening devices are displaceable between respective positions corresponding to a non-flat seat base bench surface of the rear seat row and corresponding positions for the flat seat base bench surface of the rear seat row.

3. The motor vehicle according to claim 2, wherein

the seat belt fasteners, the seat belts, the seat belt retractors and the fastening devices are displaceable into the corresponding positions for the flat seat base bench surface such that three child seats are installable on the rear seat row.

4. The motor vehicle according to claim 1, further comprising:
