C43 thigh support question

Hi there.

I'm new here but I'm planning to get a C43 estate. There is one thing I can't figure out though. If i choose standard MB-tex (artico) upholstery and add electric driver and passenger seats with memory, do those seats have adjustable thigh support? I'm sure that with leather seats you get moving thigh part but how is it with standard upholstery including electric seats option checked ?

My c450 sedan had the dinamica seats. The front of the seat bottom is adjustable for driver and passenger. FWIW I had a base loaner today with tan MBtex. It also had adjustable lowers.

Yeah, That's what I meant. ARTICO/DINAMICA.
So this adjustment is manual or electric ?

Can anyone from europe confirm this ?

This is a pic of the seats on the C450 loaner I had for a weekend. No thigh support, and they came with electric seats adjustment. That's all I know.

Yeah but it's basic electric adjustment (comes as standard equipment). To push the whole seat forward or backward you had to use metal lever under the seat, right ?

I meant ARTICO/DINAMICA with electric adjustment with memory, where the seat is fully adjusted with electric motors and the controls are on the side of the doors next to seat heating button.

I'm sorry, I don't remember that. But in my MB website you can't add the electric adjustable seats option with the artico/Dinamica upholstery, you have to add one of the optional leathers.

Yeah, same here but you then you can go back to aortic/dinamica and you don't loose electric seats stuff. Might be buggy configurator though... I think I'll just have to visit my local dealership
