Looking at minivans online before buying or shopping in lots, I keep seeing the option of either quad seat or?

Question

third row can someone please tell me what it means when it says quad (I know quad means 4, but I need more clarification please).

Please only answer if you know the answer. Thank you

Answer 1

In Minivans - Quad seating refers to the first & second rows of seats being buckets (2 in each row) as opposed to the second row being a bench (that seats 2). The third row is almost always a 3 passenger bench & is (usually) standard equipment.

You may also want to consider some "crossover" vehicles.
Some of these have "mini-van" attributes as well as some qualities of sedans & SUV's

Here's an example of one (downloadable brochure)

*note the "quad" seating (standard). A 2nd row-(3passenger) bench is a no-charge option.

Just a suggestion.

Answer 2

yes indeed, quad seat mans 4, which is like a mini-van, (Honda CR-V for ex), and thrid row means that there is the driver's seat, passenger, a row for the other passengers, and another row in the back. (Ex. Dodge Caravan) i hope this helps.
