Abstract
A utility vehicle comprises plural rows of seats mounted in a vehicle body of the utility vehicle, and an extendable cargo bed positioned behind the seats. The cargo bed includes a bottom wall member having an extended region which is extended forward relative to a cargo accommodating space in an unextended state of the cargo bed. The plural rows of seats include a rear seat having a rear seat seating portion which is rotatably provided on the extended region of the bottom wall member such that the rear seat seating portion is rotatable forward to an upright position. The rear seat seating portion has a bottom plate provided integrally with a bottom surface thereof. In a state where the rear seat seating portion is rotated forward and is in the upright position, the bottom plate of the rear seat seating portion defines a front wall member of the cargo bed.
