[Opinion] – Include the 115-volt Power Socket Option For Your Macan EV Configuration

[tmrqs]

We love 18-way seats and do not mind the side bolsters when getting in or out. Four out of five of our Porsche' have them (first Porsche was a 2012 Cayman S Black Edition with 14-way seats). We adjust the side bolters to their tightest settings - much better for my driving! I weigh 200 lbs. and my wife is ~130 lbs.

Absolutely love a heated steering wheel and was led to believe it was standard for the turbo. It may have been an early configuration error (there were several that had to be fixed between PCNA and PAG). Consider it a must-have option, even in warmer climates that have cool nights. Will be very disappointed if it is missing. I see no evidence today that it exists in the standard turbo configuration).

EDIT 2021-06-24: Have confirmed heated steering wheel and heated front seats are standard on both the 4 and turbo.

Correct, shown here in the list of standard equipment for the Turbo for instance.

Yes on 115v, heated leather wheel and massage seats. Had them in M5, X5 and would miss them.

Last weekend my wife and I tried back-to-back 14-way and 18-way seats in a current Macan ICE. We found the bolsters on the 18-way seats were not comfortable getting into and out of it, e..g, the bottom ones digging into the back of our thighs each time. Not painfully but not comfortably, and as we could run quite a few short trip errands in a row some days, we decided to go with the 14’s.

Of course each of us are physically diff, so why suggest that all try them out — that is unless no need to do so for those of you already have Porsche 18-way seats and know they work well..

While we had wanted the 18-way optional headrest illuminated badging, our trade off is now we get message seats.

fore myself (and my wife) the massage option is the key requirement - so 18 way seats are not considered in my household due to the lack of massage option…

we have 18 ways on our 911 convertible, but massage is not an option for the convertible at all…so there it's a matter of taste - I won't say we dislike the 18 ways - but we don't love them either - and 14-way vs. 18-way is a matter of personal choice.

Wise choice!
