Hello, new to this forum and to purchasing cars.
I understand that only mid price and higher price cars offer drivers electric memory seating?
Could anybody provide list of various manufacturers of small SUV types of used cars (appx 2019 to 2020) that provide electric/memory seats.
Regards

You can do a search on Autotrader with the keywords "Memory Seats" and your max / min price /year and it will find them

I assume other people will drive the car but It seems a bit odd to reduce your choice of car because of something that takes only a few seconds to adjust manually.

Electric seats offer more fine adjustment than manual, and often have more adjustments (e.g. lumbar position, lumbar support, width etc).

Volvo XC40 or XC60 (or the bigger XC90 ? ) offer electric memory seats. Plus Volvo seats are very comfortable anyway.

Even my 2011 S60 has electric memory (leather) drivers seat.

As others have said it's difficult because most cars seem to have them as either a stand-alone optional extra or as part of a seat/interior trim level option.

Yep

There are three basic types of seat:

Manual seat
Electric seat
Electric sports seat


The electric ones have two memories and the sport seat is the most adjustable

My 2019 Skoda Kodiaq has drivers memory as standard I think because of the Sportline trim. Their smaller SUV offerings may have been the same.

Mercedes with a trim of Premium or Premium Plus should have memory seats too.

My 2000 Seat Leon Cupra had leather, electric seats and driver's memory so looking at VAG offerings may be a plan if you like black!

This will be your best bet if memory is so important. Kodiaqs (I think) and Superbs have electric memory seats on SEL spec and above.

XC60 does on some variants.

Jaguar XF does on most (I think) and has superb heated and cooled seats including adjustable side bolsters, as well as a nice ride quality.
