How to Open a Porsche Door?
3 Answers
Porsche door handles have no special design; simply pull the handle to open the door. Some car models feature unique door handle designs, such as Tesla and Range Rover Velar, which have retractable handles that extend after unlocking with the remote key, allowing you to pull the handle to open the door. Below is an introduction to Porsche: 1. Porsche is a German automobile manufacturer and a subsidiary of Volkswagen. Porsche's models include the 911, Cayenne, Panamera, Macan, 718, Cayenne Plug-in Hybrid, and Panamera Plug-in Hybrid. 2. The Porsche Cayenne is a luxury SUV, the Panamera is a large luxury four-door car, while the 911 and 718 are sports cars. The Porsche 911 series has a global fan base and is the most iconic model in Porsche's lineup.
Last time when I drove my friend's 911, he specifically taught me the door opening techniques. For older Porsche models, the door handles follow a traditional design - you can simply pull the inner side of the handle to open the door. However, newer models like the Taycan use concealed electric handles. There's a small indentation on the side of the car body - gently press the front end and the handle will automatically pop out about 30 degrees, then you can grab it to open the door. Remember not to pry the door gap with your fingers as it may scratch the paint. In winter when it's frozen, don't force it - use the key's heating function to melt the ice before opening. Different car series have slightly different door opening methods, so it's recommended to check the owner's manual first.
The first time I sat in a Panamera, I fumbled around outside the car door for quite a while. Modern Porsche door handles are all designed to be flush-mounted, with surfaces as smooth as a metal panel. You just need to gently press the front edge of the handle with your finger, using about the same force as pressing a smartphone's home button, and you'll hear a faint click. Then, the entire chrome handle will gracefully extend outward. At this point, simply grab the handle and pull it backward—it feels particularly ceremonial. Be careful not to use excessive force when opening the door, especially with electronically controlled new models, as it can easily damage the retractable mechanism.
