Rear seat backs don’t recline?

I never knew, cuz I never sit back there, but finally filled the car with 4 people, and our friends in the back didn’t/couldn’t recline the seat back! Really?

Disappointing.

The only thing you can do is the opposite of recline, and it's a manual operation:

Are there any wagons on the market that have a reclining rear seat?

Camden, I will happily buy that BBM wagon off you since it's now unuseable.

Jokes aside, it is very rare to have reclining rear seats in anything smaller than an S-class/A8/7-series. There are some cars that do it, but it's the exception, not the rule.

Another alternative: get a Maybach

My old Q5 had reclining rear seats. The Honda Pilot before that had them too.

SUVs have the room and thus you can find rear reclining in them. Wagons/sedans don't have the space thus reclining rears is rare.

I like the turbine wheels on that Maybach. White interior with white carpet? Really? I guess that is ok if you have on site detailing 24x7.

AMG E63 Hammer Wagon. Alfa, Rover, Ferrari, Porsche.
I was super disappointed when I found out that my E63 wagon didn’t have a champagne cooler and flutes in back. Told my chauffeur to get rid of it at once!

My Q5 had 25 cubic feet of cargo. The E63S wagon had 35.
