Gran Coup Rear Seat Question

[MattBianco]

Much appreciate your help .... Currently visiting Singapore were my brother is considering a 6 Gran Coup. (It will cost US $325k plus but that is a different matter). There is none on the floor to see, and the US configurator does not show the rear seats well.

1) Can you kindly post a few pictures of the rear seats?

2) is there a seat option for the rear seats?

3) is there a middle seat and if so how large of a person can sit there in your opinion.

Much appreciate the help. Family has three kids and a large Alphard, but does need a five seater as a second car.

Thank you.

I thought an Alphared was a dog breed - glad I googled it. The GC from what I have seen is 4+1 car. The rear has two bucket seats, but a person can sit in the middle for a while too. A kid on short distances would be fine. About 24 minutes in he talks a bit about the rear seat. Review is a little dry, but saabkyle's reviews are the best when you really want to get a feeling for a car.

....the Alphard looks like a dog. If you googled and saw the front grille, you might imagine the conversations we are having about re-spray and wrapping to make the front look less like a Transformer or Darth Vader. It has six business-class like seats inside, and is the perfect transporter for people with a driver in this market.

Thanks for the video link.

@MattBianco , don't get the gran coupe. Not comfortable for 5.
I would suggest a 5'er at the very least.
I have a Gran Coupe myself and it is not pleasant to sit in the middle of rear seat since the AC vent will be right by your crotch. Also, not enough headroom for your height in the back seats.

I didn't know! I thought you had a 5 and the X5. That is good advice as well. With the feedback, and one we saw parked at the American Club, we determined it would not be a good fit from my brother (for me, yes!). It looks like he will bite the bullet and get a G350 blue tech. Thanks Ben.

Anytime.
Yea, had a 5 and got lemoned, so I made a lemonade out of it. Here is my 650GC.
