[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the armrest box further includes a box cover 4, and the box cover 4 is hinged to the armrest box body 1.

[0058] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including the multifunctional armrest box described in any one of the above embodiments, with a structure as Figures 1 to 9 shown, so that the armrest box is not just a static storage space, but has a multi-level and adjustable storage function.

[0059] By adding a portable sliding and pulling storage box, effective space division is achieved inside the armrest box. Users can classify and place items in different storage boxes according to the type of items and personal habits, solving the problem of mixed placement of items, improving the organization and tidiness of storage, and also facilitating the access. Among them, the storage box is designed with an inner and outer layer, and the lower storage box 2 can be used to place private items.

[0060] In summary, in view of the disadvantage of the messy placement of objects inside the large-space armrest box on the passenger instrument panel of existing vehicle models, this application provides a multifunctional armrest box with a portable storage box (divided into an upper storage box 3 and a lower storage box 2) inside.
