Is that carspeak for a seat massager in an SUV or does it just move the back?

it's just a seat that is structured to conform to the proper alignment of the lower back for comfort.

My '95 Lincoln Town Car has that feature.
It inflates the lower part of the back of the seat cushion. Mine has a switch- move it one way to inflate it and the other way to deflate. It do use it at times.

Hmm... Is there any SUV that has a seat massager other than the Volvo XC90? It seems, its the only one?

No, many of the high-end BMW's and MB's do as well.

My Lincoln LS has this. I never use it though, since I find the stiff lumbar uncomfortable for my back.

Its strange that SUV manufacturers almost never mention that they have massaging seats in their lists of what comes standard or options... Mercedes/BMW doesn't mention it but I guess its in there.. don't know if Lexus/Audi/Infiniti also has it... too lazy to mention it I guess?

why do you need a massaging seat? you should not be relaxing while driving it would cause me to get tired that is not a good thing behind the wheel.

It is more a setting for lower back comfort than anything else. You set it once if you are the main user, and then forget it. My 85 volvo has a manual adjuster for the same thing. I set it once when I first got the car and left it that way.
