What’s your seating position?

[Hawk_Tuah]

Hey guys, i was just wondering what your seating position is in the macan EV? Since I only owned sportscars at this point, my seating position tends to be as low as possible. That normally doesn’t add up for SUVs.

Do you prefer to seat as low as in a sportscar or do you prefer the better visibility when seating higher?

Seat almost at lowest position (just a little raised) and chassis at the lowest level.

3… 2… 1… GO!

You kind of have no choice but to sit as low as possible because the steering column doesn’t go that high up and you’d block the gauges. I think Porsche did this on purpose to have drivers sit lower and feel more sporty. I’d sit higher if I could without blocking the gauges personally.

Porsche say that they Macan EV seating is a lot lower than the ICE. Having had a Range Rover I am used to a high seat but as prime said, the steering wheel doesn’t go high enough - it is the only car I have had that adjusts the steering wheel so low. It’s not a real problem though as I have the HUD.

I’m 6’4” and have the 14 way seat adjusted for maximum legroom. It’s actually quite tricky to get to a comfortable spot having to adjust the back, height and angle of the bottom. Maybe I’m missing something but I just fit comfortably or I’m not used to it yet as I only got the car last week.

I also find the angle of my foot on accelerator is more upright than I’m used to. I vaguely remember the 18 way seat was a little better on the foot in a test drive back in September.

Compared to my model s plaid the seat needed some getting used to. The plaid felt like TV chair, i instantly got along with it. The macan feels somewhat different. More sporty, less comfort but without being really uncomfortable. Don’t know if this is angle related or something.
