I’ve heard the exact same many years ago, but cannot confirm. In US market these are called “English Leather” seats as we did not get the Park Lane here.

Easy enough to check if you find a set. Or if you have a set, look underneath for a connector that isn’t plugged to anything along the front rail under the seat.

Yes english leather and should have the heaters, have to look for the cable on the underside. It will say heated on a gray tag. Not plugged into anything.

Not all Park Lane seats are heated however most are. Also a common misconception is that English Leather Park Lane Seats are the same as Lounge Leather they are NOT the same seats.
