Hello everyone,

So it seems that the X1 that is available in my country (Asia) doesn't have the optional rear adjustable / reclining seat available, which to me is absurd considering it's just an $300 extra.

My question is:

Has anyone been in luck to have sat in both the adjustable and non-adjustable rear seat option in the new X1? Is the difference significant in terms of seating comfort? Or is it just there to provide a more flexible boot space?

To add on to the above question - without this option the seats still completely fold down correct?

Yes the non-adjustable rear seat will fold just like the adjustable seat, but it will not recline

The seating comfort is about the same except that you cannot adjust the angle of the rear seat back to your liking.

I'm in Vancouver, Canada, and my agent told me last week that if I ordered MSport, I cannot add the reclining/sliding rear seats...anyone know the reasoning, technically or marketing-wise?

I would check with another dealership to confirm... This is the first time I have heard about this restriction...

pbjjj,

Have you sat in both version? I do know that it provides about 30mm more legroom than the non-adjustable rear seat (slides backward), but how does it compare in terms or incline angle? Is it the same?

I think the controlling factor here is the 'lump' shown in both picture:

Adjustable -


Non-adjustable -

My car has the adjustable, and the adjustable incline/recline is a nice feature. I have sat in the non-adjustable seat but not for a extended period of time. Even though the seat-back incline feels comfortable, I can imagine the incline may be a bit too upright for a long trip.

So do you mean that even with the adjustable seat reclined, it has similar seating angle as the non-adjustable?

No, adjustable seat allows you to recline with greater angle than the standard non-adjustable seat. Wish I had a picture to show you the difference...
