42HOW Opinion
Previously, there were almost no rivals in the same level of new energy vehicles as the Taycan series, but with a price range of less than 900,000 yuan, the all-new Taycan has started to compete with the Tesla Model S in terms of price. Porsche’s outstanding brand power may further boost the sales of the all-new Taycan.
