60:40 is different to the fold flat load space - just make sure.

This seems to be mentioned a lot here, but the only option I can see is the "Load Through" and that is a panel in the centre of the rear seats for putting things like skis through, nothing to do with making the seats go fully flat.

The seats going fully flat however is concerning me a bit - In the FFRR, they are miles from flat (worse than my X5) when folded, unlike the current RRS where you lift the squab and so you get a fully flat load area.

Looking at the pictures, the RRS rear seats look just like the FFRR, which to me indicates they won't go fully down

However, the only hope is one of the pictures of the 5+2 seating in the brochure, the access seat does appear to be fully flat.

Happy to be proven wrong, but that's my assessment.

60:40 Folding Rear Seats with Load Through

The seats operate a 60/40 split. However, when you need that added bit of extra room for a larger load, the bench seat can be folded to allow increased stowage and offer maximum convenience.

That's my reading of it too mse. If you don't have the option ticked then the seat backs fold forward but the seat base doesn't move.

Again, the fact that this sort of thing is an option is just disgraceful; especially on a vehicle that is supposed to be a utility vehicle - that's what the U is in SUV after all... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Owner's manual up on Topix now. Doesn't mention a folding base it seems.

Cost i would suggest.

The manual highlights that some lessons learnt from the current run - but equally doesnt show much earth shattering additional things, the no spare wheel for what i assume 7 seat options is funny Mike

Interesting that the tyres have deep sidewalls (65%) in the "smaller" wheel sizes. Of course most will have the 22 inch rims of course so it's a bit moot. Should make for a nice ride on the smaller wheels though. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
