bucket seat

Sporty car throne

A bucket seat is a car seat contoured to hold one person, with raised sides that cradle the body.

Unlike a bench seat that spans the vehicle's width, bucket seats are individual units separated by a console.

They're standard in sports cars and most modern vehicles: The car came with leather bucket seats.
