Hi, casually browsing early L405s and notice some appear to have a centre console instead of a centre rear seat effectively making them 4 seaters. Is this an option? If so what’s it called and would the V5 or manufacturer’s spec say four seats? Just curious. Thank you,
John.

The option is called Executive seating... Yes they are a 4 seater on the logbook

I have this in my ab but it's no longer available in the earlier centre console format. It's a nice touch with additional cooler box, heated and cooled seats with massage and seats are electrically adjustable plus individual climate control in the back which flows through the console and air vents in the roof. Not so good if you want three passengers in the back though and you can't slide across the seats to get out on the pavement side

^^^ whoa wait.....you have an additional cooler in the executive back seating in your autiobio? I don't in the rear....my center console is just cupholders and the climate control/massage seat functions.

Only 1 cooler in mine which is up front under the center console/arm rest 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Cant see that pic either for some reason


I bet you can probably retrofit another cooler in the back bc I have the executive seating and it looks like it’s the same shame as the console between the front seats. Right now it’s just a storage bin to hold the RSE headphones. Just need to find how to power it. 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

I believe the 4 seater rear seats do not fold down either..

So robelar....

You have the SVA/O autobiography then?

Anyone know if you can drop a cooler into the rear console of the executive seating Standard Autobio 4 seater? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

I have the rear exec pack and has the rear fridge. It is not SVO just Autobio

Jack and robe can you take a pic of the rear console cooler? I want to see if it’s retrofittable.

Any idea where the power would be tied into?

Just to clarify, the exec seat option was also available in Vogue SE spec level too

There is two different types of rear cooler - one called a rear cooler compartment which was an additional cost option available with the exec seats on Vogue SE and AB and then a bottle chiller available as standard only on the LWB SV AB.

Was quite a low cost option - £225 on the 16 model year for example Current Fleet:-
