Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

747 L rear boot
90 L front boot
390 kW DC benchmark

Trim guidance: Porsche lists 3,500 kg braked with the compatible fixed trailer hitch and 3,000 kg with the extending towbar. Confirm the hitch, towball download and seating on the build sheet.

Planning allowance based on Porsche Australia’s combined Vehicle High WLTP figure. Wheel choice, towing and conditions affect range.

Open evidence source ↗

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.
