Default Macan seats

This is a dumb question I suppose, but I'm hunting for a Macan and I want to make sure the seat base has the feature which extends the base to be lengthened under the thigh. I'm looking at Macan S exclusively, but how many way seats must I buy to get that feature?

I know now the button on sight, but only if I see the seat side

I believe you need the 14 ways or 18 ways for extended thigh support. The 8-ways doesn't have it.

The car configuration says

Includes:
  • Power Seats (14-way) with Memory Package
    Driver and front passenger seats feature memory function for seating positions, steering column and side mirrors as well as individual setting such as lights, wipers, climate control, door lock setting, instrument cluster and PCM (via remote). Settings can be recalled using the additional memory buttons in the door. Front seats offer electric adjustment of:
    • Seat backrest
    • Seat height
    • Fore/aft position
    • Seat cushion inclination
    • Seat cushion depth
    • Lumbar support (4-way)
NOTE:
Steering column also features electric height and fore/aft adjustment

Seat cushion depth, would that be it on the 14 way seats??

I ordered the 14-ways in part for that feature but mostly for the 4-way lumbar support. And, partly because of the comfort of these seats, I ordered all the "wake me up" nannies, too.

8-way base
2-way thigh extension
4-way lumbar
------
14-way - check
divide by 2,
7-way - actual axes/lines of movement.

I sat in the 18-ways and thought their comfort was almost enough to justify buying the rest of the car. I was only casually looking but came away very impressed. I wish our BMW was that comfortable.

We have the 14 way seats and the extension works just fine. It is the "rocker" button that is closest to the front of the vehicle.

Just went out and checked it on our MY17 Macan S.
