The fabric version of the RS6-II, released in June 2018 alongside the vinyl. Part number SS69, £255 single. Three colour options: plain black (SS69Z), black with blue accents (SS69B), and black with red accents (SS69R).
Same shell as the vinyl RS6-II (SS68): base 53cm, shoulder 56cm, depth 54cm, height 98cm. The RS6-II is the tallest reclining seat in the 345mm range at 98cm. The fabric trim uses wear-resistant textile and breathes better than vinyl, which is the main practical difference between the two versions. Steel frame with injected foam throughout.
Fabric against vinyl for this seat: the fabric version (SS69) is £23 less than the vinyl (SS68, £278) and has three colours versus five. If the choice is between blue or red accents, both colours are available in fabric for less money. Orange, white, and all-black are vinyl-only options.
Double-sided adjustable reclining mechanism. Sliders included. 345mm x 280mm bolt pattern. Works with 3 or 4-point harness. Road and Track approval, all heights and all waist sizes. No headrest.
At £255, the RS6-II Fabric sits above the BS2 (SS42, £265 but with a wider 60cm shoulder and GRP-reinforced back) by £10 less. The RS6-II has the taller profile; the BS2 has wider lateral bolstering. If the 98cm height is a consideration, the RS6-II is the taller seat. If shoulder support is the priority, the BS2 is the better-specified choice for £10 more.
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.
