Got a reasonable review in UK (handling not great) and as it's based on EQS (S-Class) its been around for a while software wise and therefore stable.
Own battery tech and cathodes use a lot less cobalt (10%).
Impressive that Mercedes beat all the other manufacturers to the first proper premium...
2.7T monster and doubt it will rate highly in the handling stakes.
Decent range with its monster battery too.
Definitely one for NA market and unlikely many on a UK school run.
Not sure I'd agree with 'smaller' - I had a Pana ST (4 seat config) prior to my Taycan so have lived and breathed it. Ingress / egress for sure is better (different roof line) on the Pana. Interior wise and physical dimensions are so close (in fact the Taycan is slightly wider at a certain...
Think of Range Rover as the target as latest gen will offer full EV drive. Different price point too and therefore more profit to be made. New Rangie bears testimony to that.
Cayenne is too small IMHO (I've had 2).
Interesting indeed but I still can't fathom the ongoing need for both Taycan and Panamera - a merger is needed as they both have the same dimensions and offer up to 4+1 seating. The additional 'luxury' of the Panamera could easily be incorporated into the Taycan - soft close doors for one!
This is old news and talked about by the EU bureaucrats for several years now.
Our Taycans already have several of these features as standard all of which can be switched off.
Speed limit regulated cruise control - 95% unreliable leading to unexpected automatic braking of the car due to...
That's why it's on Channel 5!
I think Jason lost the plot when he was enticed into that ridiculous race around some farm lanes whilst James Martin "cooked" - thankfully that section has been dropped from the programme.
Oh deary me!
No, no and no again (sorry).
Poor dealership network will put many off too.
Really should have called it a Proton (remember that "awesome" vehicle)?
It is impressive - a similar post was made a couple of months ago. Note that the battery is appreciably larger than that in the Taycan with Performance Battery Plus.
Roll on 2024 when Mercedes and others will have their 600 mile range high density batteries in their EVs - Porsche need to get a...
