Changing the seats was created by happypig

I'm thinking that the Jimny could benefit from more comfortable seats (have had Saabs for a few years and my arse has got snobbish).
Anyone changed them for something more comfy and recommend them (the easier to fit the better)

I'd also be very interested. Ideally I don't think too sporty. I've heard of Impretza seats fit and are narrow enough, plus fairly cheap, but I suspect they may not be too much of a bucket seat.

Try Baleno seats, they have more support, especially lateral support and are very comfortable over long distances, 1,000 k's and more.

Sorry about picture quality, I can only work my phone, the BOSS has the real camera, and my jimny is a bit tight down my driveway, along with poor British sunlight

Comfy seats, great support on the slopes, only poor bit is handbrake is a bit close, but not a prob. Mine are welded/bodged to the original suzuki runners so I can still adjust them.

And they make getting in and out really hard! So some rock sliders/side steps will be needed.

I've got the full leather seats in mine from the factory and they're great. IIRC you can in some markets get Jimny's WITH heated seats, it's what the round button on the opposite side to heated window on newer dashes did! So maybe you can get the parts from motorfactors or something?

Do the Baleno seats bolt straight in without modification?
