As you may have seen from my previous thread, at the moment we are in the market for our first FFRR.

I've taken a look at a few more cars this weekend. One in particular was very high spec and well presented. It had electric powered rear seats. The controls seemed to either move the seat in front forward or recline the rear seat.

It's the first time I've seen a Range Rover with powered rear seats. It got me thinking:

1. Can powered rear seats fold flat for increased load space as non-powered seats can?

2. Is there a child lock option? I'm just imagining the fun on long journeys of having our 5 and 3 year olds moving our seats forward, and reclining their own seats!

Not sure about 1.


But 2. there would be a way to disable them moving the front seats but not their own as much as they wanted. Just make sure if you have young kids that it has warranty covering the motors in the seats as i can imagine with young ones they may not last as long as expected! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Yep they fold, in the same way as standard seats. Bit of investigation over the weekend reveals my new steed was a company order and used by a Chauffer. It has electric rear seats that move back and forwards and recline provided the base is slid forward as parcel shelf/load cover limits recline. TDV8 Vogue SE 2009.

Great. Thanks for the advice!

Hi, what year did they fit electric rear seats, I have never come accross one with them. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.
1976 Harley Davidson Iron Head Sportster

I think they were on the Ultimate edition first, then more widely available right at the end

I believe they were std fit on the run out L322 autobiography models. movement is pretty limited though and unless you are a chauffeur I reckon a bit of a gimmick. impress your mates though !!!! 3.0 VSE - 2015MY

They didn't appear on all the 4.4 Autobiography cars sadly.

My (related) question is can you still fit the standard steel dog guard if the seats recline? Discovery 4 HSE

I have seen listings on the bay for rear dog guards from LR that are compatible with the reclining rear seats. I guess it must be a slightly different design to the standard guard to affix to the moving seat back. Tom
