PORSCHE IN CRISIS | EV "expert" Says CHINESE EVs are CLEARY BETTER than Porsche at half the price!

[shawn]

The seats were softer/more comfortable, the UI was a lot snappier and customizable, also the one thing that really blew me away was the front passenger seat folded down completely to form a bed/leg support so when you sat in the back seat it was like sitting in a business class lie flat seat. You can see it in this video here around at 9min.



eta: The video also reminded me of some of the features I forgot about that made me think this was nicer than my Porsche, the fridge in the back, and the projector that can come down for the rear passengers. Like I said, as a driver I would definitely prefer the Porsche, but as a passanger the Huawei was much more functional and lux.

So for a family with young kids I could see why some features might be appealing (except for the small boot space). For that matter the Cadillac EV or EQS are comparable as they do a nice job with that part. However, I agree that for a driver there is not much that I like about this layout and my now empty nest skews my preferences.

From a seat perspective I have tried a tone of cars and found that nothing beats the 18 way in the Macan EV. So when you say you found this cars seats more comfortable are you talking about the 14 way or maybe the back seats because there is a big difference that I felt especially with the adjustable bolsters.

Anyway thanks for sharing.

I sat in a Zeekr 001, and for the price, the quality was overwhelming: not a single piece of hard plastic. Ok, all is fake leather, but it looks very good in a brand new car!
I don’t understand why Porsche puts hard plastics in its cars…

Exactly! Guess faux/vegan leather might reduce the allure of existing leather, but doubt it cost much to cover stuff up with felt at the very least

Yes unless

I suppose if you pay for full leather (even on the vents) you could minimize it but I have not been too disappointed without it. Agree though less plastic would be better

I have the 18 ways, I found the seats in the Huawei roomier and softer on my butt lol, also the head support was better. I do have little kids, so I keep that in mind when looking for a new car.

There are a lot of reasons not to buy an off brand vehicle unless you plan to change cars every few years anyway. I believe Porsche will back their product. I also would worry about security of these vehicles. We are already giving away far too much personal information through our cars, but that is a whole separate topic.

I can say so far at least that the driving and customization of the Macan has me completely happy. I trust Porsche and while I’ve seen a few bad experiences recounted on this forum, they seem to be exceptions rather than major quality issues.

For those thinking they will have a better experience with an EV from China, lets see how their ownership experience is a few years from now.
