Today, with the help of owner Smalgol, I had the opportunity to test drive the Porsche Taycan electric vehicle. I'll share a comprehensive review that includes my impressions of the car, its pink design, and the owner's evaluation.
The review will cover various aspects of the vehicle.
Until now, I had only test-driven white models, but seeing the pink design was quite refreshing.
The vibrant color really caught my eye.
This was my first time seeing this color in person, and for those curious about it, I recommend focusing on the photos.
This model is a fully loaded Porsche Taycan, purchased for over 200 million KRW (approximately $150,000 USD).
It features top specifications, including wheel design, interior, and driving assistance systems.
You can understand that it includes the highest specifications available for the Taycan.
The standard model comes with 19-inch wheels, but the model in the photo is equipped with 21-inch Mission E design wheels, which added a whopping 6.2 million KRW (about $4,600 USD) to the price.
Additionally, if you choose the wheel color to match the exterior color, it adds another 1.7 million KRW (approximately $1,300 USD).
You can see that even selecting just one option can significantly increase the price.
Still, considering it’s a Porsche that offers top-notch performance and a premium feel, the price nearing 200 million KRW (around $150,000 USD) seems justifiable.
As I observed it in person, I thought, "This is why people buy Porsches."
The base model starts at 123.8 million KRW (approximately $93,000 USD). As mentioned earlier, adding options typically raises the price to over 200 million KRW (around $150,000 USD).
They can secure liquidity by entering into contracts without upfront costs while also benefiting from the lowest price comparison across all capital firms.
Interested parties can easily obtain quotes from the website and compare them with other companies before making a decision.
Above all, it exudes a luxurious and sophisticated feel that I hadn’t seen in other brands.
My wife also remarked that she didn’t know such a color existed, and upon searching, I found that demand is high, leading to long wait times for delivery.
The actual car looks even more attractive than in photos.
It’s a color that draws your gaze and keeps it, making it increasingly appealing the longer you look at it.
Initially, I imagined the typical shade of pink, but even after a week, I find myself wanting to see it again.
While this color incurs additional costs as an option, it’s an excellent choice for expressing one’s individuality with its striking pink design.
I had never seen this color on the streets, which made it even more appealing to me.
Upon opening the door, the interior color matched perfectly with the exterior, and I realized that it’s hard to match the design and color choices of women.
Personally, I would have chosen a white exterior with black seats, but this color combination is refreshing and beautiful.
I found myself wanting to just sit there and do nothing.
The bright interior made me feel like I didn’t want to do anything at all.
I had preferred black seats due to their easier maintenance, but now I understand why someone would choose a bright beige or cream color.
So, I decided to replace the model I have on order with a bright interior color.
Once you fall for such charm, maintenance becomes irrelevant. It’s all about the visual appeal!
As previously mentioned, the exterior color, wheel design, and seat color all contribute to the overall cost.
You can think of it as everything being about money.
Even the car key and remote come with additional costs!
This is why the base price starting at 122.8 million KRW (approximately $92,000 USD) quickly approaches 200 million KRW (around $150,000 USD).
Therefore, I always check the round trip distance before heading out.
While all electric vehicles share this trait, with a rated driving range in the low 300 km (approximately 186 miles), it seems best suited for urban or metropolitan driving.
The interior space is somewhat cramped, making it challenging for adults to sit comfortably in the second row.
It seems suitable for couples, newlyweds, or those with young children, and could serve well as a second car for leisure.
I opened the trunk, and it barely fits a golf bag.
Considering the owner's evaluations, the Taycan has a short driving range, a price nearing 200 million KRW (approximately $150,000 USD), and a low body that makes visibility challenging while being prone to scraping.
The trunk and interior space may be limited, making it less practical, but...
Ultimately, the Porsche Taycan is a vehicle that people choose despite knowing all these factors!
Especially, the pink design is luxurious and sophisticated, earning praise as a luxury model among female owners.
Seeing it in person truly captivates even a man like me.
If I earn enough money, I might consider choosing a Porsche too, but I wonder how long that will take.
Ultimately, I find myself envious of the owner.
