Aren't they the same but folding?OK. I’ve seen photos of delivered vehicles posted as well as actual production series vehicles with two different types of rear headrests…

I must be missing something but I cannot for the life of me work out why there are two different designs?
You can clearly see the difference in the first photo where the centre headrest only is the recessed type.Aren't they the same but folding?
Hi @Solmanic, in my Trialmaster the recessed headrests are fitted as shown in the picture below.OK. I’ve seen photos of delivered vehicles posted as well as actual production series vehicles with two different types of rear headrests…

What challenges that idea is the fact that the online configurator shows all three as the recessed type too.Hi @Solmanic, in my Trialmaster the recessed headrests are fitted as shown in the picture below.
My pennyworth is that the PDI person has temporarily got the front headrests in the wrong position. The nearside front seat in the top photo may not have a headrest located, the photo showing something else.OK.

I thought that too but I looked at a production series vehicle a couple of weeks ago with all recessed headrests. Also plenty of other cars here have the same style.Might be to do with Aussie crash testing regs. To stop whiplash in taller rear seat passengers... Headrests should always be adjusted up to the back of the head so it can’t fly backwards. Maybe they are taking this decision away from the consumer?
Yeah, I suspected it might be the trim however all the non-leather test drive vehicles I’ve driven were all recessed. And like I said above, the configuration website shows the same regardless of trim.Ive got the non-leather trim with heavy duty covers. Tall/short/tall is the set up.
I think that may be the defining characteristic, the utility, in addition to getting the more upright rear seats and less leg room, gets the smaller headrests; at least logically that would make sense.Mine (all three) are like the one in the middle - which I like more. You cann pull them up as needed.
I have a utility.
I have a Trialmaster with the Utility seats and have the 3 x smaller headrests.I think that may be the defining characteristic, the utility, in addition to getting the more upright rear seats and less leg room, gets the smaller headrests; at least logically that would make sense.
Again, all speculation here
