The 2019 911 gets a sleeker and a more futuristic cabin
Interiors – Step inside and you will be pleased with how minimalistic, well finished, rich the cabin of the 911 is. Whereas the last-gen model featured a conventional layout, this has a more futuristic design. Like all new Porsches, the screen takes the place of pride, right in the centre of the dashboard. The infotainment system is neatly nestled in the contoured dashboard. The resolution is brilliant but the large screen size seems like a tech overload in the 911. Since everything can be controlled via the touch-screen and a few controls on the steering wheel, the cabin is less reliant on buttons. Porsche’s usual criticism of boasting too many buttons has been addressed here. Below the screen, you have the controls for the air conditioning. The toggle controls for changing driving modes look and feel very premium.

The new short gear selector doesn’t feel as sporty as the older one
Apart from the essentials, Porsche has replaced many buttons with the large touchscreen infotainment system
However, we are not fans of a couple of things. There is only one pop-out cup holder on the passenger side as opposed to two in the previous car. We still don’t like the gear selector which is too small and feels unsubstantial to operate.

The front seats feel really sporty and hug you tight
But pointing those negatives is like picking a needle from a haystack. Cup holders aside, the ergonomics are fantastic. The seating position is wonderfully low giving you the right feeling of sitting in a sports car. Everything falls to the hands easily and the seats offer terrific support. There is a variety of adjustments making sure you feel comfortable on long journeys. There are two additional seats in the back which make the 911 more usable but they are strictly for small kids.

There are plenty of expensive options available to spec up your 911
The quality of materials used inside the cabin & the attention to detail make it one of the best supercar interiors
The instrument cluster receives a major update and nearly everything is digital. We love how Porsche has kept the rev-counter analogue. The centrally mounted rev-counter, with its 3D effect, is sure to melt the hearts of the car enthusiasts! There are many options to spice-up the cabin of the 911. One of them ‘Sports Chrono Package’ which gives you a nifty stopwatch atop the dashboard. In its standard form, there are enough features on offer. You get navigation, leather and electrically adjustable front seats, climate control and a premium sound system. Porsche gives you an extensive options list.

The 911 is loaded with top-notch electronics
You can choose a fancy Burmester sound system more Alcantara, brushed aluminium, sportier bucket seats as a part of your options kit. Being a Porsche, the options are expensive and will increase the price of your 911 by some dozen lakhs quite easily. To conclude, we are truly impressed with how well the company has managed to infuse luxury and sportiness in the 911’s cabin. It is arguably one of the best sports car interiors around.
