10 years ago, the powered driver seat was a forte of the premium segment. You had to look above the Rs. 50 lakh mark to even find a four-way adjustable seat. Much to our surprise, we found 18 cars with the ‘luxury’ feature.
What’s the point of a power driver seat? Apart from it being a bit of a brag feature, it allows you to get the seat to the exact position and height that you want. This is something that comes to the fore when you have to drive long distances.
