Most Helpful Review

Cannot find a better driving city car

It drives like a dream. Large car, but extremely easy to drive, with 0-100 in 5.5 sec. Ground clearance has also been increased over previous generations, especially for India. Rear seat ventilation is missing. Was surprised to see a lot of negatives on YouTube videos but realised China paid propaganda.

Has enough power for Indian roads

Bought the car from the Mumbai showroom in December 2023 and it has been a great journey since. Over 1 year of my ownership it has been the best experience. It has enough power for Indian roads and is a great pleasure to drive. The rear seat comfort is a bit on the low side but the engine and driving dynamics make up for it. All the Porsche staff are amazing to deal with and always there to help.
