Aaaahhh, lovely. Soothe your aches and pains with a massage seat – just don’t undress and fall asleep like you might in a spa…
Massage seats use moving pads in the seatback (and seat base in luxury cars) to imitate a well-trained masseuse, but without the need to carry around a human the entire time. Cars with massage seats generally use the lumbar support to repeatedly press against your back to try and remove aches and knots – although some buyers just like the feeling of it, rather than using it for any possible health benefits.
Not long ago this bit of luxury would’ve been reserved for high-end, high-price cars, but you might be surprised at the choice of cars on this list – and how many are available at Motorpoint.
Peugeot 3008

While it’s recently been replaced by a new model, the outgoing Peugeot 3008 is still one of our favourite family SUVs. A massaging driver’s seat is fitted on top-spec GT Premium/ GT-Line Premium cars and is optional on other trim levels.

See what we mean? Even the popular Corsa comes with a massaging driver’s seat if you stretch to the range-topping Ultimate trim. This means you can go about your day-to-day business knowing your humble hatch has a bit of tech that many large, expensive SUVs don’t.

Massaging seats have been available as an optional extra on Ford Puma models, including the entry-level Titanium – and you get massagers on both front seats. Aside from its back-prodding features, the Ford Puma stands out from its small SUV rivals with its keen handling and clever under-boot storage area.

The latest Tiguan includes front massaging seats on Elegance and R-Line trims, which are the most popular ones with UK buyers. It has everything it needs to appeal to family shoppers, including a huge boot and a plug-in hybrid that’ll do 70 miles of driving without igniting the engine.

The Audi Q5 is a steadfast, confident SUV that offers everything you might expect from an Audi. Massage seats for the driver and front passenger come on the high-end Vorsprung trim, or on the S Line Competition trim that’s exclusively available with a powerful plug-in hybrid engine.

A direct rival for the Q5, the XC60 is a similarly sturdy SUV with a laser-sharp focus on safety and an inimitable Swedish cool. You’ll find a pair of massaging seats on Inscription, Inscription Pro and Ultimate trim levels.

Nissan Qashqai

Despite an extraordinary number of rivals, the Qashqai is still a top pick among family SUVs. It has clever hybrid engines and a modernised interior, with a host of trim levels available with increasing levels of kit. At the top of the range is the Tekna+ trim, which has a massaging driver’s seat among many other delights.

Like the 3008, the 508 also gets a massaging driver’s seat on top trim levels – including the incredibly rare 508 PSE flagship. The 508 is stylish inside and out, and comes with a wide range of engines that should suit regular motorway trips.

The Renault Austral is one of the brand’s midsize SUVs, and is a replacement for the Kadjar. Three trim levels are available, and the top two – the clumsily named Techno Esprit Alpine and Iconic Esprit Alpine – both come with a driver’s massaging seat as standard.

The Range Rover Velar gives you eight-tenths of the experience of a proper Range Rover at five-tenths of the price. You’ll need the high-spec HSE, R-Dynamic HSE or Autobiography trims to get a pair of massaging front seats.
