This. It's been discussed a lot on swedespeed - the change was due to premature wear on early-model inscription seats. If you test inscription and RD seats (both with thigh extenders..) back to back the difference is obvious.

Do the R-Design seats have different seat pads?

Volvo is saying there is nothing wrong with the seat, even though my car has been in the garage for 6 weeks and the local dealer agrees there is clearly a problem. |

Yes, completely different seat design. RD extender is flatter in the middle with more pronounced side bolsters.
The inscription one is slightly raised and has no side bolsters.

I have to say that I have found the seats in my car to be super comfortable and the quickest seat that I have found for a long time to find a comfortable driving position, maybe this is due to coming from 10 years of various BMW ownership?

No such ‘hard bar’ across the seat base or extendable bit on my R-Design..
I do find the seats comfortable apart from the height. Even as low as they will go I’m still too high. I’m 6ft, don’t know how you taller guys fit? - maybe I need to lay-down boy racer style..

Yeah, RD seats are second to none. It's a bummer that what's supposed to be the comfort/luxury trim in the lineup(s) (Inscription) seems to be the least comfortable option. But from what I have understood it doesn't affect everyone- it seems to depend on height/weight of the occupant..

The only thing I regret not having is "sports seat" on my Momentum XC60
All this talk about the uncomfortable nature of these upgraded seats make me more content I went with a Momentum spec

The best car seats I ever experienced were in my 2001 Saab 9-5. Second best we’re in my 2003 Volvo S60.
Now I think they are becoming looks over function. I don’t find them uncomfortable just not as good as in the past. I even find my Golf GTi seats as comfortable.

Just wondering whether you're aware that the long flat button for seat height has to be used twice to adjust the height - once for the overall seat height (raise or lower the rearmost part of the button) and once for the angle / front of the seat base (raise or lower the front of the button)? Not sure what else it could be otherwise. |
