short answer is no. I need to have a rear seat down to get a bike in with the front wheel off, and both wheels off to get it in sideways behind the rear seats.
Here are some more photos. In the last photo, the rear seats are slid back. In the other photos, the double rear seat is slid forward
I can get a good salary sacrifice deal on an LWB GTX. Would it be fairly easy to unbolt and remove all the rear seats, store, then put them back at the end of the lease deal?
Hired one in Geneva and only just got three bikes in the back.
Two were in bags and mine was in a massively cut down cardboard box and I could not sit on the back single seat properly.
Out of the bags. Gave me room to sit properly but I doubt we would have got four bikes in!
The seat arrangement wouldn't sell it for me.
250 miles isn't bad, you should see what the other manufacturers electric people carrier vans do, terrible. I went for a Vivaro Life diesel (the electric has appalling range) with the 7 seat and a table option, Seats come out really easily, and they can slide to any position. The two 'singles' can be turned round into a lounge set up. I also went with 7 as if it was an 8 seater, the double seats weigh the same as a large elephant. I can get my bike in wheels on and stood up.
Mine is also a short term camper - has a bed system fitted under the parcel shelf. Folds out over the chairs.
I don't understand the reluctance to take wheels of when loading a bike. Take the wheels off and two 27.5 MTBs and camping gear go in a Zoe. You'd get about eight in the space in that Buzz with some sheets of foam to protect them. Try laid flat diagonally on a slight angle. Taking the tyres off is a great space saving idea but even I'd find that a little too time consuming. 😉

The rearmost 2 just unclip and pull out . I’ve got the 6 seater , the middle seats would need to be unbolted ( or just fold them down ?). You would have the gap between them to play with if you keep them in .
