Get comfortable. Then enjoy the drive.

The Sport C gives you the support of a proper sports seat with the adjustments that make it easy to settle in for a longer journey. This 5-door version combines eight-way electric adjustment, four-way lumbar support, two-stage heating and a side airbag. Black or white leather surrounds a black Dinamica centre, giving you a choice between an understated cabin and a much bolder contrast.

Support and seat adjustment

The shaped shoulder and backrest bolsters help hold your upper body in position through a corner. Eight-way electric adjustment covers fore-and-aft position, height, cushion angle and backrest angle. Four-way lumbar adjustment lets you change both the height and depth of the lower-back support, while the manually extendable cushion supports more of your thighs. The value is in finding a position that works for you, then enjoying that support on every drive.

Choose the finish

Both finishes combine genuine leather around the bolsters with black Dinamica in the centre. Dinamica is a soft, suede-feel microfibre with a breathable surface, giving you a different texture where you sit from the leather around it.

Black leather with black Dinamica is the choice for a subtle look that sits naturally in a dark interior. White leather with black Dinamica makes the shaped bolsters stand out, with a stronger contrast against the black centre. Choose the look you want in your car: both use the same material combination and have the same price and equipment.

Trim Material SKU Price
Leather black with Dinamica black 653.500.1/2B57 GBP 3,896.00
Leather white with Dinamica black 653.500.1/2B49 GBP 3,896.00

What this specification includes

  • One RECARO Sport C seat in the selected trim.
  • Eight-way electric adjustment, four-way lumbar support and manual cushion extension.
  • Two-stage seat heating.
  • Integrated side airbag.
  • 5-door backrest without the forward-tilt function.

The vehicle-specific baseframe and installation are separate. The 1/2 in the part reference identifies handed versions; it does not mean a pair of seats.

Getting the fit right

The seat, baseframe and electrical connections need to match your vehicle and the side being fitted. Give us the car details and driver or passenger side with your enquiry so we can identify the correct installation. The side airbag must be matched to a compatible vehicle restraint system by a qualified installer.

Setting your driving position

Start with your hips against the backrest and set the pedal distance first. Then adjust the backrest, height and cushion angle so you can reach the controls comfortably with your shoulders supported. Leave a little space behind your knees when extending the cushion. The electric functions operate with the ignition switched on.

Looking after the upholstery

Brush or vacuum the Dinamica gently and use a slightly damp white cloth for routine cleaning. Avoid vigorous rubbing and never pour cleaner directly onto it. Treat the leather with a suitable leather-care product, testing a hidden area first.

If you do not need heating

Our non-heated 5-door Sport C with side airbag keeps the electric adjustment and lumbar support for GBP 288 less at the current prices.

Frequently asked questions

Is the price for one seat or a pair?

One seat. The combined 1/2 part reference covers the left- and right-hand versions; it is not a two-seat pack.

Does the backrest fold forward?

No. This is the 5-door version without the forward-tilt function. Choose an appropriate 3-door version if rear-seat access depends on moving the front backrest.

Are heating and a side airbag included?

Two-stage heating is included. A side airbag is included.

Will it bolt straight into any car?

No. A compatible vehicle-specific baseframe and the correct electrical and restraint-system installation are required. The mounting kit and fitting are separate from the seat price.

What does the adjustable cushion do?

It extends the front of the seat cushion to support more of your thighs. Together with the height, angle and lumbar adjustments, it helps you find a driving position that suits your proportions.
