Default Adjustable seats on the hybrid?

A couple of questions about Estima Hybrids in general:

The main issue is to do with boot capacity - do the rearmost seats slide forwards, or are they simply folding, i.e. in fixed position when in use?


I'm currently thinking of getting an Estima due to forthcoming family expansion and I have seen both the hybrid and petol versions (circa 2002/2003) - both 8 seater.

The petrol version had the back row of seats on a track, which enabled maximising boot space, whereas in the hybrid, the back row of seats just folded forward . One of the main reasons we were looking at the Estima, to tell the truth, is that we thought it gave the best mix between passenger space and luggage space.

I was wondering anyone you had much knowledge of the car in question - I was more interested the hybrid and was wondering if there was a version of it available with the fully adjustable 3 rows of seats?

Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated

It appears that the Hybrid has a fixed rear row that just folds down hence not as much flexibility as the normal Estima. I have asked my agent in Japan to check but did have a quick look on the internet and it does say that this is the case.

Also have a look at the separate thread about what What car had to say about the Hybrid.

Regards
Mark
