Question Are multicontour seats ergonomically different? Or are they just standard + massage?

I really have not found the CLE seats to be comfortable... I don't think they offer very much support. Perhaps it's the lack of side bolstering?

Are the multicontour seats any different when it comes to shape and ergonomics? Or are they just regular seats with massage added?

2025 CLE AMG 53 Coupe
My experience:

I have taken four long trips with my 2025 CLE AMG 53 Coupe with standard seats in Nappa Leather and yellow accents. One trip leg was 13.5-hours and I felt zero fatigue. The seats and interior fit my 6’4” frame very well.

I have another very long trip next week and am really looking forward to the drive.

If I'm not mistaken the multicountour seat option adds active side bosters as well as the massage function.

I ordered my AMG CLE53 Cabriolet with the advanced seats. They offer adjustable side bolsters, lumbar, & seat extension. To my knowledge Massage is not available on these seats and Massage was only available with tan Napa leather which I did not want.

The adjustable side bolsters can be set to grip your body fairly tight and the lumbar is equally highly adjustable. I like them fine but since my car was the first one in Idaho March 2015, I had no opportunity to try out any others.

I just did a build online at MBUSA for the 2026 model and although last week the multicontour seats were still only available in tan Napa leather, now they are available in black leather.
