The Recaro Sportster CS reclining sport seat with heating and side airbag, 2213.40. Seat only, steel frame, base mount, reclining, no armrests, four point harness compatible, any height, for 32 to 36 or 36 to 38 inch waists, driver’s or passenger’s side at order. Sold for road and track.
The Sportster with both options fitted
The Sportster CS is Recaro’s road sport seat: deep bolsters, a reclining back that tilts for the rear seats, four point harness compatibility. This listing has the heating and the side airbag built in, for a modern car that had both in its factory seat. The Sportster CS with airbag alone is 1782.90.
Colour, and a warning about the photographs
Leather with suede in black, red or silver, or all black leather. The listing has two photographs, which is not enough to choose a suede colour from, so ask and we will send more.
Plugging it in
A heated seat with an airbag is a seat with two connectors to the car’s loom. Give us the model and year and we will check both before you commit to it.
On its base
Recaro’s 405 by 290 mounting pattern, with the frame for the car bought separately. Say which side you need.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: Recaro Sportster CS Seats In A 2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage?, and The Recaro Sportster CS Performance Edition Fitted. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
What is the difference between the Sportster CS versions?
The range includes versions with seat heating and a side airbag, and trims from Ambla leather to Dinamica suede, so check the option list on this listing for what this exact version carries. Fitting uses car-specific direct-fit subframes; tell us your car and we will confirm the right one.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 36in to 38in or 32in to 36in waist. 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.
