I am very curious , why does the car have restriction for only 4 seats.
All cars by default are 5 seats. For them to purposely disable the rear middle seat, might have a good solid reason.
U also cannot install a middle car seat.

Is it the load carrying capacity ?
For the Volt the reason is obvious. For the i3 its very intriguing .
 
First, the seats fold 50:50, second, they're shaped for two, third, it's not really all that wide and the center console between the front seats wouldn't allow much foot room, or, if it were made smaller, much storage room.
