Cayenne Electric Base Feels Like it is Tilted Towards the Front

[Mark G.]

When I drive my new Cayenne Electric Base I feel like the front is tilted downwards. I almost feel like I’m slightly sliding forward in the drivers seat. Does anyone have any observations or comments?. Is there a Setting that I should adjust?

Hm.. no, haven't felt anything similar at all after a month of driving. Could you please explain a bit further by what you mean with "sliding forward"? Do you mean that the seat itself is tilted or that the whole cabin is tilted forward? Is there any difference when seated in the passenger seat?

Hi Moheisen, it feels like the whole cabin is tilted forward. I'm not sure if the hood of the car slopes down while the car itself stays level. I'm sure I can make some seat adjustments to maybe make this feel better. I'm a bit confused by the "lift", and the different positions. That could be part of the problem too.

Hi Mark, so sorry to hear that. I wouldn’t start second guessing yourself because you might be feeling something that might actually be wrong with the car. First thing I would do is actually go to a dealer nearby and just ask them if you can drive the Cayenne EV demo they have back-to-back. This should give you a conclusion whether it is your seating positing or something else.

I wish I could help you more but I can’t really grasp the situation, just don’t try to convince yourself that it’s fine if your stomach says something else. People have had alignment issues previously in Porsche EVs (hope this isn’t it) but just so you know.

Thanks. I'll see what happens.

You can tilt your seat, move the front of the base of your seat up, the rear down and adjust the back to compensate, you can't slide forwards then.
Place your iphone in its charging location and use the measure app (or android equivalent) to watch the level while parked and when moving, compare to other cayennes.
Check tyre pressures.
