That would be a dope feature to include. I'm sure those seats are NOT to be used while driving as the seat belts would be ineffective. So, I would not expect to see them on the Expy's middle row.

In the front seat you can stretch your legs out under the dash, but who's going to want to lay flat with their knees bent like they're sitting up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 The seats already recline. If they reclined further, they could add a foot or leg rest like they add in some minivans to allow your legs to lay flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I think the second row would run into the 3rd row wheel wells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 The Kia ev9 has second row seats called “lounge seats” that recline pretty far back with a foot rest that comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlcorbett Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Since it's a rendering, I still do t trust it but it looks similar to what the spy photos are showing. The rear would def look different than what they rendered but the front should be 85% correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they are missing the part of the tail lights that extend out onto the rear lift gate that we have seen in earlier spy shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I always love how they change the tests and vehicles go from "safest ever" to "death trap" from one year to the next. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Interesting observation I made. If you Google the trucks, the expy gets the most articles related to the recent crash tests, the chevy tahoe gets the least, even though it sells the most and arguably recieved the harshest ratings after testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is The plan just to maintain the market share and do nothing else? They’re kind of forced to because of the production situation. If they were able to give Expy/Navi their own plants again they could be more aggressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisgb Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) The IIHS and NHTSA are the biggest drivers of rate increases. The safer vehicles are made, the more they cost to repair. The ratio of profit to loss may remain the same, but the higher that rates go, so does the amount of profit. We could save thousands in vehicle and insurance costs by doing without all the safety technology, and just welding a rusty railroad spike to the steering wheel hub, pointing inches from your chest. Ok, NOW go out and tailgate in the rain! Edited June 9 by Chrisgb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
