Hi

My partner has recently purchased a 500x 2.0d Cross auto.

She has started to experience lower back pain whilst driving it, we just wondered if anyone else has a nd are there any suggestions on how to help with this?

Thanks

Hi. And welcome.

Is it the reach from seat to pedals and steering wheel..

Or the effort of climbing in..reaching the tailgate..??

The reach from the seat to the pedals, the base of the seat seems to be at a 30 degree angle going up to towars the steering column.
 
Funny I bought mine to eliminate that issue and it very nearly has. The driving position in mine with the power seat and telescoping wheel seem very flexible to me. I can set it high like Im driving a tractor almost or as low as need be. I like to sit high, but both the wheel and seat seem to have a broad range either way. There must be a comfortable position for her, if not, then something else is at play. ?This car has really helped my sciatica.
 
The seat is quite adjustable which is one of the reasons we bought it. Play around with heights, distance and lumbar support until it wears in a little. New cars can be a bit stiff to begin with.
