gle seat extension

sales rep doesnt know and cant seem to find out if there is a seat option with an expandable seat bottom ( for taller guys) like the bmw x5. I think not from what I can see in the build. Anyone know for sure?

It does, you just need to order the multi contour seats, the front of the seat extends just like the X5, the only difference is that you do not see a seperation like on the X5. I have it in my car.

Sat in multi contour seat in 2016 gle today w sales rep. No extension. A little puff in seat perhaps.
You must have custom made. Or define extension different than me. Thanks in any event.

The new GLC has the seat extension and HUD as options. My 1988 BMW 325is has seat extensions. The sales rep. said the GLE most likely will have them next year, so I will have to re-think the purchase of the GLE! I don't understand why the newer seats could not make it into the GLE this year. The C class received the S class upgrades and features before the E class, Go figure! Hope someone at MB is reading this.
