Get the driving position right, then enjoy the drive.
The Sport C gives you shaped shoulder and backrest support, with enough adjustment to make that support feel right for you. Electric position controls, four-way lumbar adjustment and an extendable cushion help you settle in for everyday driving as well as the roads you go out of your way to enjoy. This 5-door version has no heating or side airbag.
SKUs: 653.000.1/2B57, 653.000.1/2B49
Support that adjusts to you
Eight-way electric adjustment covers fore-and-aft position, height, cushion angle and backrest angle. Four-way lumbar support adjusts in height and depth, while the manually extendable cushion supports more of your thighs. You can find a comfortable reach to the pedals and wheel without giving up the close upper-body support of a sports seat.
Black or white leather
Both trims combine genuine leather around the bolsters with black Dinamica in the centre. Dinamica is a soft, suede-feel microfibre with a breathable surface. It gives the area you sit on a different texture from the surrounding leather.
Black leather keeps the cabin understated. White leather makes the shaped bolsters stand out against the black centre. This is a colour choice: both trims have the same materials, equipment and price.

What is included
One RECARO Sport C seat in your chosen trim.
Eight-way electric adjustment, four-way lumbar support and manual cushion extension.
Non-heated specification.
No integrated side airbag.
5-door backrest without forward tilt.
The vehicle-specific baseframe and installation are separate. The 1/2 reference covers handed versions; the price is for one seat.
Fitting your seat
The baseframe, seat side and electrical installation need to suit your car. This version has no side airbag, so it needs an installation appropriate to the vehicle and its restraint system. Tell us your car and whether you are replacing the driver or passenger seat and we will help you select the mounting parts.
Looking after the finish
Remove loose dust from the Dinamica with a soft brush or vacuum, then use a slightly damp white cloth when needed. Avoid vigorous rubbing or pouring cleaner directly onto the fabric. Use a suitable leather-care product on the leather, testing an inconspicuous area first.
Choosing heating
The heated 5-door Sport C adds two-stage warmth for GBP 288 more than the non-heated 5-door version. Both of these versions have the same adjustment functions and no side airbag. Choose heating if cold morning starts are part of your routine.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one seat?
Yes. It is one seat. The combined 1/2 part reference covers left- and right-hand versions, not a pair.
Does the backrest tilt forward?
No. This 5-door version has a reclining adjustment but no forward-tilt release for rear-seat access.
Does this version include a side airbag?
No. Choose the seat and mounting arrangement to suit the approved installation for your vehicle.
What does the extendable cushion do?
It increases support under your thighs. Set it with a little room behind your knees, then fine-tune the height, angle and lumbar support around your driving position.
Are the two colours different materials?
No. Both use leather with a black Dinamica centre. White gives a stronger visual contrast; black gives a darker overall finish.
