Questions and answers
Which sedan has the most power in the 1CARS catalog?
The Xiaomi SU7 (SU7 I · 2023–present), with 1,138 kW (1,547 PS · 1,526 hp). Second is the Porsche Taycan with 760 kW.
How is this ranking compiled?
Each model appears once, with the highest power output of any of its versions in our catalog (or of a generation when no version has a figure). Power is given in kW first, then PS and hp.
Why is a model missing from the list?
A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
