Today, the Opel ergonomic seats, which are the result of more than a dozen years of work and tight collaboration with the AGR, an independent association that works on preventing back problems, can be ordered for several Opel models from Insignia, Meriva, Zafira Tourer to Astra, Mokka and Cascada. The very first Opel ergonomic seats were introduced with the Signum in 2003. “Today, our seats are made to suit every size of person – tall, short, big, small – and this is critical to reduce fatigue on short or long trips.” “Seats are veritable engineering masterpieces that include lightweight material, specific foam structures and numerous motors to carry out a multitude of tasks, such as heating and adjustments,” says Andrew Leuchtmann, Senior Manager GM Interiors, who is responsible for seat engineering. Collaboration between Opel and AGR for seating comfort There is a good reason seat engineering accounts for around ten percent of the production costs of a car. But before such a seating design makes it to series production, many developments steps were necessary. AGR (Campaign for Healthier Backs) certified Opel ergonomic seats are designed to provide long-distance travel seating and back comfort. The new Opel Insignia and new Opel Meriva are not only distinguished by their engine technologies, they also aim at ensuring that the driver and co-driver have a comfortable journey.
