Can you get a decent spec for $90k? Still a very large sum.. I'm a bit short of time and interest to go on the configurator, but if PASM and good seats are standard, that should be possible.


Yeah here’s one for 90k. Just added slightly nicer wheels, blue paint, adaptive cruise, 14 ways seats, Bose stereo, mobile charger (crazy it’s not standard).

PASM is standard.

90k is a lot but if you factor in:
Tax credit, dealer discount (this will be their volume model), and lower running costs vs a similar gas car, I think you’d be at the equivalent a 65k macan s in terms of ownership costs. Of course, if you really need AWD or a hatch that’s a moot comparison.
