A valid concern, but I suppose I'd argue that it's a bit hard to be too precise with just this image. Because what makes a functional third row versus a cramped one is measured in just a few inches. And all we can see from this is that the seats lie flat and flush to the middle row. But how high are the back seats of the third row? If they're really tall seats, for example, there could be gobs of space underneath them once they're folded back up.
well, its weird CS would say its 60/40 when the animated graphic on their website has been showing the seats fold and how much luggage you can store has shown that the 2nd row splits 40/20/40. but then again its not the first time CS doesn't have correct info.Also, it *very* much looks like that middle bench is actually a 40/20/40 split. Which is nice. But also frustrating, as I specifically asked CS that exact question last Thursday, and was told that it definitively is *not* a 40/20/40, but a true 60/40. So.... ?
LA Silver per Rivian post on Instagram.
They may consider it 60/40 because although the center can be put down independently, it is dependent on the passenger-side seat in order to be up and if that seat is folded it must be folded too, plus the seat cushion would be shared. However, I can't think of any practical reason why you would want to leave just the center seat up, and I'd figure most 40/20/40 seats work in a similar fashion.
I know there has been bit of discussion about having captain's chair in the second row but a real simple solution would be to have removable middle seat section all together to allow access to the 3rd row.
