I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Recaro's in the euro's have more powered movement than those supplied in the US.

If so, that should give you a route for the first 'factory' upgrades.

I'm wondering without taking it apart if the bottom seat frame assembly is interchangeable with the power seat set up

Maybe different in 2018+ models but mine is a 2017 recaro euro and there is no power anything. Wasn't even an option.

Yeah something must have changed then but I don’t know the exact year.

I’m a U.K. 2020 and the only thing not powered is the tilt function for the seat back.

Powered functions for both seats are :
  • Base forward / backward.
  • Base up / down.
  • Base (behind knees) up / down - kind of makes the base a bit more like a scoop.
In addition for the drivers side only there is electric lumbar support.

I guess the last option may help a lot of the criticisms I hear of the Recaro’s being to tight. If you push it forward it moves your back position forward a little so it has the effect of loosening the grip applied by the bolsters. I like it back and as it goes in you feel the pressure from the bolsters more as you sink deeper into the seat.

Pictures of the seats?
You could believe that you have Recaro but have premium?

No premium for the U.K. you either get Recaro’s or you don’t.

You loose the heating and cooling function.

They charge you ÂŁ1600 for them (or ÂŁ1400 with one of the other custom packs).

I looked and I am surprised that I don’t have a picture of that area on mine, but I found this when I tried them at the dealer :

If you zoom in the front oblong button does all the base controls and the round button does the lumbar.

That picture answers one of the questions above too - that was the first 2018 that my dealer got in :like:

I just need to know if the stock sport seat and the Recaro share the same size belly pan. if they are close I can make it work. And yes they are different part numbers but that could be because all the Recaro components have a different part designation.
