What is the difference between the RECARO Dynamic Cross Sportster CS and the standard Sportster CS?

The cushion. The RECARO Dynamic Cross Sportster CS uses a significantly flatter seat cushion with lower side bolsters, which makes climbing in and out of a higher-riding vehicle far easier. Backrest support, shoulder shaping and lateral hold carry over from the original, so the sporty character stays intact.

Which vehicles is it designed for?

Higher-riding vehicles, primarily SUVs and crossovers, where a deeply bolstered cushion makes entry and exit awkward. The flatter cushion is the whole point of the Cross variant. Drivers in low-slung sports cars are generally better served by the standard Sportster CS, which holds the hips more aggressively.

Is the RECARO Dynamic Cross Sportster CS street legal?

Yes. The RECARO Dynamic Cross Sportster CS carries ABE and TÜV component certification and suits street use with 3-point or 4-point belts. A universal side airbag is available as an option, tested across a temperature range up to 110°C, so airbag functionality can be retained where the factory seat had it.

Are seat mounts included?

No. Mounts are sold separately and are vehicle-specific, so the correct bracket has to be matched to your chassis. This matters more than usual on an SUV, since the bracket sets final seat height and you want the flatter cushion sitting at a height that keeps entry easy rather than raising it further.

Which upholstery options need the heating option?

Three of them. Ambla Leather Black with Dinamica Suede in Red or Silver, and full Leather Black, are only available with seat heating specified. Ambla Leather Black, Ambla Leather Black with Dinamica Suede Black, and Nardo Black with Artista Black can be ordered without it.

Is it sold as a pair?

No. It is sold as a single left or right seat, so a matching pair means two orders with the correct side specified on each, plus two sets of vehicle-specific mounts. Keep the upholstery and options identical across both orders unless a deliberate contrast is wanted.

Description

RECARO Dynamic Cross Sportster CS Seat

The RECARO Dynamic Cross Sportster CS blends authentic driving performance with everyday comfort, featuring a lightweight shell design adapted specifically for higher-riding vehicles such as SUVs. While retaining the lateral support and dynamic feel of the original Sportster CS, this variant uses a significantly flatter seat cushion to make entry and exit easier without sacrificing stability or ergonomic precision. The result is a premium sport seat that delivers RECARO’s signature support and responsiveness while offering the practicality and accessibility required for taller vehicles.

Every Inch Luxurious

RECARO selects each material with intention, incorporating premium carbon, exclusive leathers, and precise stitching that accentuates the seat’s contours to create a product defined by craftsmanship and quality. Only the ideal combination of color, form, and construction earns RECARO’s premium designation. Ultra-light carbon, advanced composites, and high-grade foams and textiles form the foundation of the seat’s construction, while traditional craftsmanship ensures that every seam, cushion, and finish is perfected by skilled hands. To guarantee authenticity, each seat is fitted with a forgery-proof hologram sticker that also allows customers to register their product and join the RECARO Club.

Make Yourself at Home

RECARO notes that an ergonomic seating position is essential for true comfort. Driving should feel rejuvenating rather than tiring, which is why RECARO designs seats with intelligent comfort features and contours that support the body throughout any journey. Because sitting passively behind the wheel exposes the body to centrifugal forces, deceleration, vibration, and poor posture, a well-engineered seat must counter these stresses through structural support. RECARO achieves this with ergonomic frameworks, body-hugging bolsters, firm padding, finely tuned adjustments, breathable materials, and available comfort technologies such as heating or ventilation.

Sit Back & Relax

RECARO understands the strain of long hours behind the wheel and designs its seats to help drivers arrive relaxed rather than fatigued. By prioritizing ergonomic support and user-centered design, RECARO seats adapt to the needs of the driver, reducing tension and discomfort even during extended travel.

Peak Body Support Performance

RECARO emphasizes that its seats provide a uniquely immersive feel, positioning the driver in the seat rather than on it. Known as Body Support, this characteristic gives immediate feedback from the road and enhances control. A low seating position, firm compact upholstery, and ample arm movement work together with sculpted bolsters that stabilize the shoulders and torso against lateral forces. This creates a secure, second-skin fit that supports confident cornering and an enjoyable driving experience.

Dynamic Driving Experience

RECARO highlights that proper seating posture is essential for maintaining control, especially with a sporty driving style. By supporting the body accurately, RECARO seats enhance reaction time, concentration, and overall vehicle command. The brand draws on its extensive motorsport experience to engineer road-going sports seats that deliver stability and ergonomic precision for safer, more focused driving.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
