Hi Pete.

We have a AB on order that comes with 18 way seats, including upper seat angle.

The new seats with massage and Articulation, exactly what is that.

Hi Disco,

In answer to your question;

Driver and Front Passenger Upper Seat Articulation provides an extra level of comfort and personalisation. The feature allows the driver and front passenger to adjust the upper part of their seats, allowing for enhanced articulation of the back.

Front Seat Massage is provided with a multitude of settings designed to make longer journeys as comfortable as possible.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks,

Thanks Pete,

So just more adjustment than the 18 way version with upper backrest angle.

Thanks again

Graham.

Ps any pics around.

I'm really curious when they will release the official MY15 spec...

Hi Graham,

It is difficult to show the articulation and massage in a still image unfortunately, however I have included a picture that indicates where the additional movement is in the seat.



And Baco, the 15MY spec details will be some time away, however when I hear more information on this I will be happy to update further.

Thanks, Pete! I'm heavily torn between an Evoque and a new RRS at the moment. There was talk of the MY15 version being available around september, is that still possible?

Why the upper articulation doesn't count as two more 'ways' I don't know. 

Hi All,

Just wanted to respond to a couple of posts;

Morning Pete,

The picture above shows the same/very similar movement plain as the 18 way seats on topix.

Style 5, standard on AB, is billed as "18 way driver front seat, 18 way passenger front seat, electric front seat adjustment with driver and passenger memory, front seat armrest, four way lumbar, power headrest" whilst the optional Style 7 is the same but with "with front seat massage, driver and passenger upper front seat articulation". The manual (page 17) shows 18 ways without the articulation. The supplement on Page 2 shows 20 ways for the articulated seats.


Also note that speccing Style 7 also means having to have the (10.2") RSE, regardless of whether you want it or not.

So I presume not speccing the Style 7 seats (£1000 + £2500 RSE) means no seat articulation.

Agree with that Phil.

The HSE seat is 16 way, the AB is 18 way. The only change I can see in topix is the upper angle.

Peanut bob has had a look at his and they do not articulate. So if there is some adjustment it must be small or internal to the frame.

Or can any one else tell us what the extra 2 way is?

If you have to have the high end RSE, that certainly makes it an expensive option! Mark

OK - What he **** is this:

"CONVERSATION ASSIST
Conversation assist enables the front and rear occupants to speak to each other, aided by the vehicle’s Audio system.
The Conversation assist controls can be found in the Touch screen Setup menu. See 5, TOUCH SCREEN SETUP.
Conversation assist offers 3 options:
• Off: Touch to switch the system On/Off.
• Low: Touch to select low volume.
• High: Touch to select high volume."

HSE is 14 way - (no powered headrests and no bolster inflation?)

All the modes are:

1. Cushion length.
2. Bolster inflate/deflate. (Style 5)
3. Lumbar support. (4 way)
4. Seat upper back angle. (Style 7)
5. Seat back angle.
6. Head restraint height. (Style 5)
7. Seat height.
8. Forward and rearward position.
9. Cushion tilt.

So Style 3 = 14 ways, 5 = 18 and 7 = 20.

I think.
