ABSTRACT:
A seat structure for a motor vehicle includes a front seat having a seat back capable of reclining backward, and a rear seat comprising a seat back capable of reclining forward and a seat cushion. In this seat structure, the seat cushion of the rear seat is pivotably supported at a front end, lower portion thereof by a vehicle body through a pivotal support member, such that the seat cushion is rotatable about an axis of the pivotal support member to be flipped over and stored above a floor panel in front of the rear seat. The seat back of the rear seat is pivotably supported at a lower portion by a vehicle body, and is able to recline forward after the seat cushion of the rear seat is rotated and stored, so as to be located in an original position of the seat cushion. When the seat back of the front seat is leaned backward, and the seat back of the rear seat is leaned forward to be in the original position of the seat cushion, the seat back of the front seat and the seat back of the rear seat cooperates with a load-carrying platform behind the rear seat to form a substantially continuous plane.
