VIDEO INSIDE: Anyone know the part # for the sport seats?

In america, as usual, we get shit on by range rover.

I'd like to put sport seats into my evoque. Anyone know the part numbers?
Anyone know if the sport seats ever came to ANY market with LHD evoques?

I'm assuming they are also heated and electric?
I'm assuming the reason we in the states didn't get them is because they don't have the side impact airbags built into them?

Here are the seats I am talking about. They do not have to be this color. Just an example of the many things we get screwed out of here in the states because our gov mandates too much..

I have the sports seats and they have air bags. Just the same as normal seats. The bases are identical. Don't know the part numbers tho. Guessing there expensive.

RE: VIDEO INSIDE: Anyone know the part # for the sport seats?

Both my Evoques had the Plus Pack and they are also available for the RRS SVR and all versions of the F Type Jaguar. They were also available with heating but not airbags as after market accessories for Defender. I'm not sure who made them for LR BUT Exmoor Trim and some of the companies selling Defender accessories sell very similar seats as after market accessories. I believe from several dealers that the F Type Jaguar and Defender versions are not as comfortable as those fitted to Evoque, but I also know that there are several very similar design of seat. I did read somewhere that the Plus Pack seats were made by Recaro but I cannot verify that but might be worth a "Google". Apart from Exmoor Trim you could look at Atlantic Rovers who are a stateside company selling specialist parts for all Land Rover products and in the UK Google Rimmer Brothers, Urban Truck or Paddocks who all sell interiors for all Land Rover products and they all do export sales.

With regard to cost - yes they were expensive as the Plus Pack was a £3000 option and was 2 "Recaro" style high back seats (they are not suitable for RSE BTW) with 16 way adjustment and heating, they were never available with climate control though. I reckon that they are the most comfortable seats I have ever had in a car, easily more comfortable than the seats in my Volvo and also both the FFRR's I owned (the Plus pack seats grip you much more than the flat but sink into style of the FFRR thrones! IIRC Plus Pack also added extended Oxford leather to the dashboard instead of the pleather on the other models and also more leather on the doors. So basically at £1500 a seat yes they were costly!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

You would probably need a chassis number when ordering i presume. Some where there must be a part number for the seat complete, maybe I'm wrong tho.
