The ultimate in seating comfort allowing adjustments to suit individual ergonomic needs
Refined sportiness - this philosophy applies also to the seats, as they combine the ultimate in seating comfort with sporty lateral support. Four different front seat types are available to choose from:
The standard seat itself meets the highest ergonomic standards. Thanks to the
filled seat piping, the feeling of comfort simply when getting into the vehicle
is unique. A special upholstery technology is deployed here, which inserts
additional foam filling immediately beneath the cloth or leather upholstery. The
front seats can be adjusted electrically as standard. The Memory package, which
enables three individual settings to be saved, is available as an optional
extra.
The shape of the optional multicontour seat can be individually adjusted by and
for the driver and passenger to fit their anatomy or to suit their personal
wishes with regard to comfort. Thanks to an innovative technology for adjusting
the seat side bolsters, for example, the width of the backrest can be adjusted
on both sides in a stepless operation by up to 45 millimetres, i.e. by up to 90
millimetres in total. Other bonuses of the new multicontour seat include the
pneumatic height adjustment facility for the seat cushion and the high-comfort
head restraints.
The active multicontour seat offers the same comfort functions and additionally
has high-speed piezo valves in the air chambers which adjust the charging
pressure and volume of the air chambers in the side bolsters of the seat backs,
depending on the steering angle, lateral acceleration and vehicle speed, to
provide both the driver and front seat passenger with even greater support. It
also has the high-comfort head restraint and, additionally, a massage function.
Climate comfort is further enhanced by the optionally available active
climatised front seats, which are available as an optional extra. Four
ventilators in the seat cushion and in the backrest extract cool air from the
floor area of the interior and distribute it evenly through a ventilation tissue
beneath the seat surface. The mild airflow can prevent the car's occupants from
sweating, even when it is extremely hot outside. Seat heating can also be
selected for all four seats as an optional extra.
