Seating position?

I have a few months and 1,500 miles on our 2026 G63 and I can’t find a comfy seating position without getting a sore butt. I have tried tilting the bottom of the seat all the way up and all the way flat and have tried sitting closer and farther away and still can’t find a great position. I have a 911 Turbo S with the 18 way seats and they are pretty comfy. Even my GMC Denali HD seats are pretty comfy. How long did it take you to get comfy and any recommendations on position? I am 5-10 165 pounds.

Tilt the bottom of the seat up so the seat bottom at the edge (closest to pedals) lifts up your knees. That will spread your frame load more evenly across your legs and azz instead of just sitting down on your azz.

Took me three months. You’re not alone. The G63 bottom cushion is too flat and firm. Try raising the front of the seat base just slightly (not all the way) and tilt the backrest more upright than you think. Also add a thin gel cushion or memory foam pad seriously, most owners end up doing that.

This helped me, it took me a little while to get just the right seating position (and rear-view mirror position). The seats are very comfortable, but I do find my 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser 200-series seats still take the win as far as super comfortable.

I think every car forum I've ever been part of has a lengthy thread where half the posts claim the seats are the most comfortable they've ever experienced and the other half say they are the worst seats they've ever had. For me they are very comfortable.

I'm glad you found a solution, but just as a reality check most owners do not end up doing that, maybe a tiny percentage.

By some weird quirk my seats were perfectly adjusted and I never changed them, just hit the memory button.
