2007 C4 seat upgrade

andyd12

Hi, I have a 2007 Citroën c4.
Considering what options are available if I want to upgrade front seat's?
Do the generation after these c4(09-up) have the same seat fitment?
Also would seats from a c5(08-up) perhaps fit?
Thanks

You're not just swapping seats, you're also swapping the side airbags attached to the seat.

What's the issue with the current seats? Is yours a 5 door?

No its a 3 door coupe model. They just don't have very good support and bolsters are quite small.
With airbag issue, would another Citroën seat not have airbags also?

It would have airbags, but they would be designed specifically for that car model.
A higher spec C4 might have better seats than yours.

I see what your saying. Yes I know the vts C4 have a better seat's but finding one for breaking is tricky enough considering they are a rare enough car to begin with.
Just trying to boarden my optons perhaps. Honestly I would prefer a better more comfortable seat over a side airbag

What trim level is your own one?

You are looking for VTR+ seats, full leather, very comfortable seat that wraps around you .
They are heated and have 3 seat position memory settings, so there is a fair amount of electronics in them.

Yes well something like that anyway. I am guessing all the hear control's etc would be extra on the centre console or whatever?
Wouldn't bother me if they weren't heated anyway.

No the controls are on the seats themselves, there's a fair amount of electrics in them.

Oh OK cool, would you know if it's just plug and play with the wiring loom? Would my loom even have this plug if so? Thanks

Hi,
Still on the hunt for better seats, no mad panic but would like to do it if I could.
Was actually wondering would seats from any of the Peugeot models ie 307, 407 etc?? Most of the peugeots have better seats and some of the 407 have very nice seats..
Thanks

The 307 is on the same platform as the c4 so you might be lucky.
