One of the comments on the Renault R16 was how good it would be to see all of the interior versatility of the Renault R16, because there's a lot to go at! Hopefully this video will be either nostalgic for people who have had these, or eye opening for people that haven't. But Renault really were onto something with this! I particularly love the "full bed" position. :p

let's talk about seating positions in A
0:03
Renault 16 so someone commented on the
0:06
video I did about the Renault 16 saying
0:09
it would be really good to see how all
0:11
the seats go and I also think that that
0:13
would be really good so we couldn't do
0:17
that
0:18
without an original
0:20
brochure so it says a totally new
0:23
standard in seating seat adjustment and
0:25
interior versatility it's definitely got
0:28
that look hard at the Ultra Soft seats
0:31
and notice the double thickness I I
0:34
hadn't noticed that realize what
0:37
fantastic standards of luxury they must
0:39
give soft resilient upholstery in luxury
0:43
grained leather cloth with thick
0:44
polyurethane foam cushions and armrest
0:47
front and rear in the Renault 16 Grand
0:51
Lux this is a Grand Lux so there's six
0:54
seating positions which is full cargo
0:57
luggage position which is
1:00
this holiday luggage position extra
1:05
bulky luggage space play pen position
1:08
rally resting position and full bed
1:12
position nice and here's what the
1:15
brocher says so that's the full cargo
1:17
that's say it is now holiday luggage
1:19
position let's try that one first I did
1:22
show that on the video that I did but
1:24
I'm going to show you it better now
1:27
let's go holiday position to do that
1:29
you've got a to open passenger door on
1:33
the
1:34
back then you there's many ways you can
1:37
do this what I'm going to say is pull
1:39
the bottom put your hand on the back
1:41
lift it up roll it
1:45
forwards there you go you've got an
1:47
extra couple of inches of room in the
1:51
rear next position extra bulky luggage
1:54
position so to do the extra bulky
1:57
luggage position pull that up
2:01
pull this
2:04
forwards like that pull this up these
2:08
canvas straps which are wrapped up in
2:13
here come out hopefully these straps are
2:16
in one piece struggling
2:20
here pull these canvas straps out from
2:22
under the seat that goes up
2:28
there pull this canvas strap out that
2:32
goes
2:34
uph
2:39
there and then you get
2:43
this you got like a through load into
2:45
the
2:51
boot how good is that
3:00
that is a very very very cool feature
3:03
the like most new cars don't have stuff
3:05
like that Renault nailed it next up is
3:09
this which is called the play pen
3:11
position I I'm not going to lie apart
3:14
from its name I don't think there's
3:16
anything special about this I think it's
3:17
just the seats reclined all the way back
3:19
but let's do
3:20
it I said reclined but that wasn't what
3:23
I meant what I meant was slid all the
3:25
way back so
3:31
this is the play pen
3:33
position and I'm very much assuming the
3:35
play pen position is meant
3:38
for having better access to your
3:41
passengers or giving your passengers
3:44
better access to you right what's next
3:47
next up is this the rally resting
3:51
position the rally resting position uses
3:54
these metal bars down
3:58
here to support back
4:06
rest there you go and I can see at the
4:09
wind screen I th this is not bad I would
4:13
I have slept in travel lodges that are
4:15
worse than this this is
4:19
incredible fondling you could do some
4:22
fondling
4:25
here so that is that is the semi rally
4:29
rest position cuz they only done one
4:33
side I mean like what were Renault
4:35
thinking uh right the alternative
4:38
position now is full bed position I've
4:42
never put this in full bed position but
4:44
I'm about to so the process for this
4:47
pull this forwards pull those levers
4:49
back up and out the way or those little
4:51
like support
4:57
arms that goes back there I'm putting a
5:00
lot of trust in this this is the full
5:02
bed
5:04
position yeah actually not that bad you
5:09
know I could genuinely with a blanket I
5:13
could sleep in
5:16
here I love Rena
