`It also protects the seats of leather from wrinkles and gives the airplane first class comfort.` Car makers are pouring money into the backseat. In addition to the `Chauffer Driven Car`, which uses advanced equipment and advanced materials for VIP passengers, sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are also expanding the space in the back seat. The technology developed for the rear seat of a premium car spreads over time to other companies in the same company and contributes to the integration of the car`s eco-friendly and high-sensitivity technology.
Kia Motors` high-end sedan `The K9`, launched on April 3, features a special rear seat design. Kia Motors said it adopted a four-to-two-to-four-split system instead of the existing six-to-four split seat to create a more comfortable and luxurious living room. An independent rear-seat display allows you to see the entire journey route, and the front seat is equipped with rear seat air-conditioning and rear-seat air-conditioning ventilation seats that allow adjustment of the rear seat temperature, wind strength and direction.
The Hyundai Motor Genesis has adopted the finest Nappa leather and has combined `Sensibility Quality Science`. Seat cover and the leather and the slab material are fused to prevent wrinkles, while at the same time using a thermal fusion technique to enhance comfort when seated.
Mercedes-Benz`s Maybach S-Class shows the essence of `Shopper Driven Car`. Compared to the S-Class longwheel base model, the bodywork is longer, but the rear door is shorter by 66mm, so it blends in with the overall design flow, Mercedes said. A triangular window is placed on the C-pillar. As a result, the rear seat retreats further back than the rear door, protecting the rear passenger`s privacy.
The Maybach S-Class is the first mass-production car to feature the "Energizing Comfort Control" feature. According to the passengers` mood and taste, the thermostatic device including direction function, heat ray, ventilation, massage sheet, lighting, audio system are organically controlled to create the optimum environment. Passengers can choose from six programs: refreshing, warmth, vitality, joy, comfort, and training.
Toyota Lexus has launched the "Omotenashi (Hospitality)" service philosophy by launching the top-of-the-line sedan LS. It means courteous and hospitable. If you take the LS, the lighting will naturally brighten to match the speed of the sliding doors that open up and then gradually disappear again. It is designed to provide a relaxing space for a relaxing break. The aircraft`s first-class recreation of the Ottoman seat provides an ideal tilt angle of 48 degrees, an electric leg support that comfortably supports the calf, and a 22-way seat adjustment that provide optimum comfort for the seated person.
Jaguar Land Rover Korea launched its luxury SUV `New Range Rover` on April 5.
Meanwhile, the backseat can be folded as needed, allowing for flexible use of boarding and loading spaces. With the control switch, it is possible to maximize the rear seat space and visibility by executing the remote control function of the driver`s seat (extended mode) such as forward and backward movement of the passenger seat, backrest inclination adjustment, headrest folding. The company said the rear-seat tilt is up to 40 degrees, providing a comfortable ride for long-distance driving. The hot stone massage function consists of five cells located on the left and right sides of the seat, and four cells located in the center of the seat, totaling 15 hot stone cells. Some models can also control the rear seats with the vehicle touch-screen and remote control apps.
Land Rover`s seven-seater SUV `All New Discovery` is the world`s first smart phone with intelligent seat-folding capability that allows remote control of two and three seats.
