I am deciding on whether to specify the versatility pack on the XC40 or not. I'm looking at the Inscription so has most of the things I want but after reading on the forum about the rear headrests it has raised a concern. Without the folding headrests do they come into contact with the back of the front seats at all?

I don't want to risk any damage to the seats for the sake of £475 but don't want to spend it if I don't have to.

Thanks

I can confirm that they do not come into contact with the front seats at all. It's one of the questions I asked when test driving, and is the reason I did not go for the electrically folding headrest option.

I have the electric folding rear headrests, what a waste of time!

Good to know I don't need the pack.

For me electric folding rear headrests is a blessing, I find rear view to be significantly improved when driving with rear headrests folded down (of course, when there’re no passengers in the rear). Unfortunately, current configuration doesn’t allow rear headrests to be folded without the electric pack.
