Guess where the battery for a Porsche Cayenne is.
Under the driver's seat! You need to remove the seat to get to it; I can't imagine how Porsche says how to jump-start it.
(I'm a bit of a fan of Youtuber Tyler "Hoovie" Hoover - he had a Cayenne with lots of problems* some years ago. * Yes, I know, Hoovie always has cars with problems...)

Terminals under the hood.
It looks like jump starting it isn't a big deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgipEB8IQCIReplacing the battery probably is, but they probably want you to take it to the dealer for everything anyway. :-/ Wasn't there a Chevy Monza or something that required that you had to take off the motor mount and transmission support to drop/raise the motor enough to change a rear spark plug? Ah yes, yes there was...Cheers, Scott.

Other fun ones
My wife's Buick Century had rear brakes that had a custom tool to recess the pistons to do a brake job. You literally couldn't do that job without the custom, single-purpose tool.
And you had to remove one of the front wheels and driveshaft to access the oil filter.

and learning about the car, the battery is under the back seat with the fuse box
there is a positive lead to the engine compartment so that helps. Oil change, radiator flush, and new tires then take it on a short road trip
