Can you imagine a better marketing angle than to offer a certified trade-in value and a better way to create urgency than a certificate valid for a period of 30 days to get your customers to take action?

I love to see that Porsche has retained the cool curved instrument display in front of the driver – it first made its debut on the Taycan and has since spread throughout the brand’s line-up. There’s also a head-up display that Porsche claims is the largest on the market. The infotainment itself is dead easy to use.
