Trying to test out a car with massaging seats as my next ride. What’s the cheapest option? Factory option only.
Do you need rear foot rests too?
Something electric.
Massaging seats are honestly dog shit. I’ve tested them in my EQS and my friends M5 and it has to be a gimmic. You can barely feel them.
I don’t know. I don’t think so.
I’ve never sat in a car with massage seats.
I have no idea if a massage seat means just vibrating in the middle, shiatsu, or a Thai ladyboy in the trunk…
Im getting old, and I want my passengers to be comfortable. In the past, I would be driving alone 80% of the time. Now I have family passengers 90% of the time.
Not what I wanted to hear, but what I expected.
I think EQE might be the cheapest car with massage that I could test out
I believe the iD4 can be optioned with massage seats, depending on your budget though iX are a decent bet though I find the massagers to not be as effective unless you’re also using the heaters.
Grand cherokee overland with the right package will get you there a lot cheaper than an eqe
Okay, let me close this topic thread. I always drive a Mercedes-Maybach S600 for a long road trip. Without a doubt, Mercedes-Maybach S600 has the best car massage seats in the whole world. The conclusion is that the massage seats are very tasteless. If the message store is 100, then massage seats are 5 at most. It doesn’t relax my muscles even though I have more strength. Especially when you’ve been driving for two hours straight and you’re holding a big bubble of urine. You don’t want anything touching your lower back body. But when you get out of the car and pee, you’re not tired. Hope this can make you decision easier.

Go to Carmax and check out a few.
Most of the time it’s just the inflatable lumbar support inflating/deflating and moving up and down. As other commenters said, it’s not that great.
BMW is terribly weak but you still get them becuase it’s better than no massage. Mercedes is stronger and you feel it more. Lexus is the only one with “real” massage with rollers I believe.
This will do far better massage than the built in ones for $30.
