Bench seat

An automobile bench seat is a type of seating arrangement in a vehicle characterized by a continuous, full-width cushion to accommodate multiple passengers side-by-side. Unlike individual bucket seats, which are separated and contoured for a single occupant, a bench seat forms a continuous surface, often resembling a couch. Historically, a prevalent feature in various car segments, bench seats have declined in front-row applications but remain common in the rear and certain vehicle types.
