Seating Capacity Stated in Official Documents

[Gregwoon]

I recently bought an XC90 which to my knowledge, is a 7 seater. 3 in 2nd row (behind driver and front passenger) and 2 in 3rd row.

 

But I noticed the LTA Notice of Transfer of ownership as well as the insurance policy states the XC90 as a 6 seater. Does this mean I am not covered by insurance when I hav 7 ppl in the car? Abit like how most taxis will not carry 4 passengers in the back seat (always claim insurance don't cover 5 passengers).

 

Anyone who knows please help!

think it reads 6 passengers. plus 1 driver become 7 persons.

I can vouch for this statement's accuracy.

Passengers is passengers.

Driver is driver.

 

What they mean is 6 passengers and 1 driver.

Sometime motor insurance agent may enter wrong data into your policy.

 

so must check proper coverage statement in the document.

 

Ask them to amend if necessary.

 

Of course premium may or may not change with such amendments.

I believe what he meant was that the car looks spacious for seven people and the documents both stated seating capacity for six

That part I know.

But there are genuine cases where insurance entered wrong seating capacity.

Especially those models with different seating models.

Such as 7 or 8 seater options.
