The five reserved standard class cars have club class style 2+2 abreast seating compared to the normal 2+3 seating arrangement in the non-reserved cars like the 700-7000 series.

N700-7000 series have similar body constructions to those of N700-0 series excepting mounting high-voltage electric cables inside the body for reducing environmental noise. No body tilting system is provided. Bogies are bolster-less bogies with the journal box supporting system like 500 series or 700-7000 series.
