Anyone have this on their rx? Is it worth it? Are the standard seats as adjustable just without the power option? Thanks!

I can only speak from the standard, manual rear seats. They recline, center seatback can be folded individually, and the seats can move forwards and backwards. There are also two levers in the cargo area to pull that fold down the seats.

To me, the power function isn't really worth it...

The Power folding seats are a nice option to finally be added, but I you can more quickly pull the handle on the side of the seats or in the cargo area much quicker. Plus less to go wrong should a motor go out

Thanks for the input. Appreciated. Doesn't sound like a must. Just a cool factor.

It is not a must but it works quite well and is quick after you press the button. It would not be a deal breaker for me but it is pretty nice when you are trying to get something in the cargo area and you need that extra room quickly.

Aren't heated and ventilated front seats included with that option? Or can you get them in a different package/option? For that reason alone the power rear seat option would be worth it, especially since it adds heat to the rears as well.

dchar

You can get just heated/ventilated front seats as an option.

Does anyone know for a fact that if the seat motor fails, whether the seats can be folded down manually? Often, we all get additional options that we really don't need/want but it's on the car we get, but I'd rather not get this option if a motor failure after warranty requires an expensive repair.

Hm…*Looking at the photos, there doesn't seem to be any manual controls for these seats. But I guess actual owners could answer better

On the other hand, I'd guess it's the same motors used for front seats, and I wonder what's the failure rate for these? Probably not that bad?…

RXOwner

I can tell you that I am not worried about the motor failing for my power seats. Ridiculous even thinking about it.

From my past RX and current NX experience, the manual folding rear seats rattle (worse on the RX due to the fore/aft slide) with the manual springs and levers partially contributing. No idea on the rattle-free nature of the 4RX's manual rear seats, but I'd seriously consider the power folding rear seats and take my chances on this mechanism.

Are the power/heated rear seats offered on the RX F Sport in the US? I have only seen this on Canadian models.

aznkorboi

NOT available on F sport models. The rear ventilated seats are NOT available as well. Only in Canada can you find such great features.


I must admit, having the car for a while, I never even use the rear manual seat buttons to go up/down.
