Hello

Is there any difference on the drivers legroom and head room between a late Aston Martin Vanquish S Coupe and Volante? Looking at circa 2017-2018?

I’m 6 foot 5 and want to check if there’s any space difference.

Thanks

Not sure if this helps , I am 6" 4" and fit happily with helmet in my vanquish.Seat in low position. Without helmet I have a good couple of inches head room.

Great, that’s helpful yes. Is yours a coupe or convertible?

I have a Volante, I am 6' 1" but a 'long back' plenty of headroom but do make sure you have a height adjustable seat rather than an ISO one - the all the ones i looked at, the passenger seats were ISO, with no height adjustment. Good luck

Unfortunately ISO was standard for the passenger seat on a Vanquish, it could be deleted when the order was placed.

Caught me out as the other half could not see over the dashboard, I enquired about modifying the passenger seat to add vertical height adjustment would need a new seat adjustment switch panel and a reprogram but never got around to it.

Is adding passenger seat height really as simple as that? As my wife also struggles to see over the bonnet. So all the motors are in?

Sorry, saw your topic title and cannot resist.


I think the Volante would be best.
When the roof is down, you will find the headroom is extremely generous. - wink boom, boom.

According to the independent who inspected my car on purchase the height motor was installed on the passenger seat according to the software listing and would need a minor reprogram to get it working.

They did not know if the height button on the passenger switch pack was just a detent that could be taken out or if it was a bespoke switch that could not be modified therefore advised me to purchase a new switch pack, I never got around to looking any further as the wife could not see how fast I was going.

My father is 6’5 and he fits in both his coupe and Volante Vanquish S comfortably. The Volante is for sale @ Chiltern Aston
