The RS6-II is a 2018 redesign of the original RS6, and the vinyl version is the one with the most colour options. Part number SS68, £278 single. Five finishes available: all-black (SS68Z), black with orange accents (SS68A), black with blue (SS68B), black with red (SS68R), and black with white (SS68W).
Dimensions from Auto Style: base 53cm, shoulder 56cm, depth 54cm, height 98cm. The 98cm seat height is the tallest in the 345mm reclining range. If the car has a low roofline, check there is enough headroom before ordering. The 53cm base is wider than the standard Eco shell.
Steel frame with injected foam, quickly adjustable reclining mechanism, sliders included. Works with 3 or 4-point harness. Bolt pattern 345mm x 280mm.
The fabric version of the RS6-II (SS69, £255) is £23 less and comes in three colours: black, blue, and red. If orange, white, or all-black is the finish you need, this vinyl version is the only way to get it. If blue or red is the choice and the fabric feel is preferable, the SS69 is the better value option.
At £278, the RS6-II Vinyl sits below the Retro II (SS 65L, £315) and above the BS2 (SS42, £265). For shoulder width, the RS6-II (56cm) sits between the Eco (54cm) and the BS2 and Pro (60cm). Road and Track approval, no headrest, all heights and all waist sizes.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Discover the Auto Style Type AK Reclining Sports Seat, and Auto Style Type Classic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker lists no driver size restriction on this seat, so it suits the full range of heights and waists. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.
Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.
I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
