2026 MGU9 rear cushion 60/40 split: distinguish the Explore Pro entry from backrest folding
The Australian MY26 diesel MGU9 lists Rear Seat Cushion 60/40 Split only for Explore Pro. Keep cushion and backrest requirements separate.
While organising rear-seat items, someone sees 60/40 in the description and requests a cushion part as a “rear backrest folding part”. For the Australian MY26 diesel MGU9 Explore Pro, reading Seat Cushion in full helps keep cushion and backrest locations separate.
Only Explore Pro has this entry
On page 3, Rear Seat Cushion 60/40 Split is shown as standard only for Explore Pro. Rear backrest and Multi Fold Seats are separate entries on the same page.[Manufacturer specification][R03] The 60/40 cushion entry cannot be transferred to other trims or treated as another wording for the backrest row.
This article concerns diesel Explore Pro only; it does not include the same-name electric range or other trims.
Match cushion and backrest photographs to their own locations
Record whether the damaged or missing item is the cushion, backrest or surrounding mounting area, retaining the overall location and original markings. If a request follows a change in movement, state which part actually moves rather than summarising every observation as “seat will not fold”.
Keep the Seat Cushion name in photographs and request records, explicitly identifying diesel Explore Pro. If the repairer also confirms a backrest or mounting-area requirement, label it separately so that the cushion split and other seat functions each correspond to a specific physical item.
Scope and verification
This article covers only Australia, MY26 MG MGU9, diesel Explore Pro; excluding MGU9 EV and other diesel trims.[Scope reference][R03] The cited product specifications identify functions and parts; they are not fault or replacement criteria.
No public data was available in the reviewed material for cushion split operation, fixing mechanisms, left/right parts supply arrangements, removal and installation or latch inspection parameters; OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability or compatibility/interchangeability. [To be verified] Check compatibility or interchangeability using the VIN and the local Australian manufacturer parts catalogue.
