Volkswagen is raising the bar for travel comfort in electric vehicles with its new ID.7 model, specifically designed for the upper mid-sized class. A focal point of this comfort innovation is the optional ergoActive premium seats, certified by the German Campaign for Healthier Backs (AGR). Not only do these seats set new standards in luxury, but they also represent a pioneering effort in ergonomic design and functionality.
Developed in partnership with AGR, which includes orthopaedic specialists, physiotherapists, and sports scientists, these front seats are a first-of-its-kind for Volkswagen. The seats leverage air cushion technology for pelvic and spinal activation. Two strategically placed air cushions in the seat work in conjunction with 10 in the backrest to provide targeted pressure point massage. The sequence of these cushions is carefully designed to relieve tension and prevent occupants from remaining in a static posture for extended periods. Ulrich Kuhnt, an expert consultant to AGR, notes that this subtle, ongoing movement aids in both metabolic stimulation and concentration enhancement.
The ergoActive premium seats offer a suite of customizable options, such as pneumatic pressure point massage with programs ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, electric 12-way seat adjustment, and manual two-way seat depth adjustment with thigh support. A memory function lets users save their preferred settings. For climate control, the seats go above and beyond with dynamic air conditioning that heats or cools the cushion and backrest independently. Users can set their ideal climate manually or rely on automatic settings, which use sensors to measure temperature and moisture levels for individualized comfort. Controls for these functions are conveniently accessible via buttons on the seat itself or through the infotainment system display.
Volkswagen's new ergoActive premium seats are indeed a game-changer in automotive comfort, combining luxurious features with health-focused design. The AGR certification is a testament to this engineering marvel, promising long-term benefits for vehicle occupants.
