But it is one of those easier things to develop, much unlike some running component which factors in far more R&D resources. Instead it's one of those cheap and easy wins for ChevyWhile that would add some flexibility to the interior, it also complicates the seats (more developement time/$, more weight, possibly thicker).
I've seen nothing in the interior pictures that would lead me to think the front seats fold flat.
Why do you say that? What in these pictures tell you that they don't fold flat?Maybe, maybe not. What's obvious is that these seats don't fold forward flat

I'll reiterate that this is a moot discussion, but think about it like a GM lawyer. The front seats provide a (marginal) safety barrier between the driver and the cargo. What happens when you're carrying a bunch of 2x4s resting on a folded passenger seatback and they fall over on you while cornering. Your wife and the parents of all the kids in the schoolbus you collided into sue GM.I just don't see what they wouldn't give the seats that function.
Other GM vehicles have this capability. This is a Trax:I'll reiterate that this is a moot discussion, but think about it like a GM lawyer.

Seriously... other cheap Chevys have the option and its brilliant engineer and use of space. IMO, Would be dumb not to include it.I just don't see what they wouldn't give the seats that function. It makes transporting awkward objects much easier. It's one of the most advanced EVs around but it doesn't include technology that lets the seats fold down? Come on.
You do realize that we agree on this?Seriously... other cheap Chevys have the option and its brilliant engineer and use of space. IMO, Would be dumb not to include it.
That's extremely true, even more so when the Bolt EV comes close to the Trax in how it serves when you forget about the powertrain. Only makes sense. Like said before, easy win for them.Seriously... other cheap Chevys have the option and its brilliant engineer and use of space. IMO, Would be dumb not to include it.
Having worked at a GM assembly plant they constantly borrowed from other GM products. The Pontiac Vibe had a fold down seat which I found very useful, so no development and the added weight negligible. The Vibe brochure showed a laptop on the seat which I felt was crazy inferring people could work while driving.While that would add some flexibility to the interior, it also complicates the seats (more developement time/$, more weight, possibly thicker).
