A rear suspension cross member (4) is suspended from and supported by left and right side members (31, 3r) on a lower side of a floor (2) of a vehicle body, a drive unit (8) including a driving motor (9) is mounted on the rear suspension cross member (4), and a power supply unit (20) including a junction box (21) is mounted on an upper side of the floor (2). A framework member (43) is spanned between brackets (421, 42r) erected on the left and right side members (31, 3r) to support a rear part of a seat cushion (39a) of a rear seat (39), the framework member (43) is disposed at a position rearward of the power supply unit (20) and at a position forward of the rear end of the rear suspension cross member (4) by a dimension (L1), and is used to mitigate input from another vehicle in a rear end collision.

A seat and seat back assembly includes a seat back moveable between an upright position and a horizontal position. A support panel is connected to the seat back for pivoting movement of the support panel between a first position supporting the seat back upright, and a second position wherein the seat back is moveable into the horizontal position. A biasing mechanism serves to urge the support panel into the first position when the seat back is moved into an upright position. When the support panel is moved into the second position this allows the seat back assembly to move into the horizontal position without dropping unrestricted.

In a vehicle seat that can switch the state of a seat main body which includes a seat back and a seat cushion between a seatable state in which the seat back is erected to a car body floor to allow a seated occupant on the seat cushion and a storage state in which the seat back tilts down to the car body floor and the seat cushion is disposed between the seat back and the car body floor, the vehicle seat is provided with a guide part that contacts the lower portion of the seat cushion and supports the seat cushion when the seat state is in the seatable state, that slidably contacts a part of the seat main body in the transition of the state to the storage state, and that thus guides the movement of the seat back and the seat cushion.
