Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position varies widely from person to person. Some drivers settle high for a clear view over the bonnet, others sit lower and further back; body proportions and long-standing habit explain most of that difference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Locating the lights, wipers, mirror adjusters and hazard switch while stationary means fewer searching glances away from the road later. A couple of unhurried minutes before setting off covers most of what a journey demands.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged is a common daily need, since mapping apps drain a battery steadily. Where charging is provided, routing the cable clear of the controls keeps it separate from calls or music playing at the same time.
