Can be slid back and forth by the guide rails,
Since the guide rail for sliding the rear seat back and forth, that is, the second guide rail, is separate from the first guide rail, the height level of the first guide rail is set to the second guide rail. It is possible to set the height level of the floorboard guided by the first guide rail irrespective of the required height level of the rear seat, since it can be set independently of the height level of the rail. be able to. In other words, regardless of the required height of the rear seats, it is easy to reduce the height level of the floorboard to increase the volume of the luggage space substantially downward by design.

According to the present invention, further, the rear seat is raised around the front end of the seat in a state where the seat back is folded forward and folded on the seat, and the seat back of the front seat is provided. The storage position that is substantially upright along the back surface may be taken. Thus, by setting the rear seat in the storage position, the interior space behind the front seat can be used as a substantially enlarged luggage compartment. And even if the luggage compartment is expanded in this way, since the floorboard can be moved back and forth in the luggage compartment, it is possible to easily use this floorboard to send luggage deep into the enlarged luggage compartment.
