Best car i have ever seen

Best car i have ever seen I love this car Driving experience was very good The look of the car is very good And the performance is next level But the service of this car is most expensive

The Porsche Taycan's German Cousin

It is a luxury electric SUV that offers a smooth ride, plenty of space, and a long range. It's not the cheapest EV on the market. Pros: 1. Smooth ride 2. Excellent handling 3. Long range 4. Premium interior 5. Advanced technology Cons: 1. Expensive 2. Narrow rear seat 3. Range can be reduced in cold weather Overall, It is a great choice for those who are looking for a luxurious, high-performance electric SUV.

Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali07 Oct 2022
