Do 2008 Chevy Impala seats fold down?

Yes, the seats in a 2008 Chevy Impala can fold down. The Impala's rear seats are designed to fold down in a 60/40 split configuration, allowing for increased cargo space and flexibility when transporting larger items.


Folding Down the Seats in a 2008 Chevy Impala


The 2008 Chevy Impala comes equipped with a split-folding rear bench seat, which means the seatback can be folded down in a 60/40 configuration. This allows you to fold down one side of the seatback to accommodate longer items, while still having seating for one or two passengers on the other side.


To fold down the rear seats in a 2008 Impala, follow these steps:



  • Ensure the front seats are in the forward position to allow the rear seatbacks to fold flat.

  • Locate the release levers or straps on the top of the rear seatbacks.

  • Pull the release lever or strap to fold down the desired section of the seatback.

  • The seatback will fold down flat, creating a level cargo area.


When the rear seats are folded down, the Impala provides a generous amount of cargo space for transporting larger items like furniture, sports equipment, or other bulky objects. This added flexibility makes the 2008 Chevy Impala a versatile and practical vehicle for a variety of uses.
