Do Vitara seats fit a Gen 4

Afternoon Jimers,

Finding the JB74 seats quite uncomfortable, are Vitara seats any better and do the fit ?

I thank you.

I don't know what fits, but I agree they are really bad, completely solid and the seat base is the wrong shape, the gen 3 was like a feather bed in comparison.

I am considering getting an upholsterer to whip the base cover off and put something better inside.

At the moment I am driving it sat on an eggshell foam cushion, which is more comfortable, and smooths out the bumps too, but it makes my legs a bit too close to the steering wheel rim

We are all in agreement then but the donor motor I am looking at is the Swift Sport. I have sat in one and it is heaps better, decent side support and with a comfy seat and shoulder support. The dealer is 1K away so in the next few days a trip will be scheduled for a measure up. I will keep you informed.

There seems to be a definite divide on Gen4 seat comfort. Some find them awful some not. I myself am very happy with the seat comfort and many a time I have spent nearly a full day in it. I have driven up to Dumfries & Galloway, 3 1/2  hour drive with no problems at all. As well as doing full day of driving and laning.

I don't know if the seats have changed since they came out (mine is Jan 2019, so early model) or whether it is just body forms that are different?

I'm a bit of both, I find them comfortable even on seriously long journeys, but have found I'm getting sciatica-type pain down my left side. Unsure if it's the seats or just me getting older.

Considering saving up to replace the driver's seat with a Recaro Ergomed, but they're ridiculous amounts of money.
