Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal: a taller driver may want more distance from the wheel, while someone shorter prefers sitting closer and higher. Cabin temperature divides passengers in much the same way.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before an unfamiliar journey it is worth locating the basics, such as hazard lights, the demister and the headlight switch, while still parked. Looking for them later takes attention away from the road ahead.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone often ends a journey with less charge than it started, so somewhere to keep it powered matters on long drives. If a socket or wireless pad is available, that need is covered.
