Seat construction and purpose

The presented seat is designed as a component mounted on the front left side of the vehicle, which means it fits the driver's position in right-hand drive versions (English layout). The construction of the seat and backrest is adapted to the characteristics of the Mini R52 body, ensuring that the correct mounting points and the geometry of the driving position are maintained.

The profiling of the backrest and seat promotes stable body support during city and extra-urban driving, and the appropriately selected firmness of the padding allows for comfortable use even on longer journeys.

Leather upholstery and finish

The seat is finished with black leather upholstery, which makes it easy to keep the interior clean and gives it a cohesive, subdued character. The leather surface provides a pleasant tactile contact and increases the visual quality of the cabin, especially when combined with other premium equipment elements.

The uniform black color of the upholstery blends well with both light and dark dashboard finishes, making it easy to integrate the seat with various Mini interior configurations. It is a practical choice for drivers who expect a durable and aesthetic upholstery material.

Seat heating and comfort of use

The built-in seat heating function increases the comfort of daily vehicle operation during the autumn and winter season. The heated seat and backrest accelerate the warming of the driver's zone, which is particularly noticeable during short city commutes and after parking outside overnight.

The combination of leather upholstery and heating creates a configuration that improves the thermal ergonomics of the interior and allows for better utilization of the Mini cabin equipment potential, without the need for additional covers or heating mats.

Application in Mini vehicles

The seat belongs to the interior equipment group dedicated to the Mini brand and is intended for installation in models from the R52 family. Thanks to the factory mounting geometry and fit to the floor structure, this component allows for the preservation of the original seating layout and the correct position behind the wheel, which is important for both comfort and driving safety.

The product comes from the segment of used components, which enables an economical replacement of a damaged or worn seat while maintaining the original character of the interior. This is a solution for users who prefer OEM parts over universal replacements.
