Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position is personal. Height, arm length and long-held driving habits all influence where someone wants to sit, which is why two people sharing one car often settle on noticeably different positions for the same errands.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Locating the lights, wipers, mirrors and demisting before setting off means less searching once traffic is moving. A stationary minute spent learning where things sit is simpler than working it out partway through an errand.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged matters on errand days, when navigation and messages drain a battery quickly. Where a charging point is provided, its position decides whether a cable lies neatly aside or stretches across the cabin.
