The Porsche Taycan EV is a forward-looking vehicle that is undoubtedly one of the best on the market. Its bold design is complemented by a comfortable and engaging cabin, while delivering an electric vehicle experience that rivals those of Tesla's Model S.
This all-electric SUV can be a great option for those looking for an EV that is quick, agile, and offers extraordinary driving dynamics. However it does not have the same range as other EVs. However, the Taycan offers super-fast charging, which can overcome its mediocre range.
It's a slim, lightweight and agile EV that's very fun to drive. The Taycan doesn't offer as much comfort as some of its counterparts, but it's extremely quiet on the road making it great for long drives.
The Taycan's interior features an extensive array of screens, which control everything from the instrument panel and the infotainment systems. There are two touchscreens located in the center console. One is an 8.4 inch screen in front, while the other is a touch-sensitive display that faces towards the driver's side.
Specs & Features
The standard equipment list is pretty minimal, but the Taycan comes with everything from satellite navigation to smartphone mirroring. Upgrades are possible to upgrade to a Bose 14-speaker system. Those upgrades cost $2840.
Stylish and Authentic
The Porsche Taycan is designed in a way that resembles other Porsche models. It's a sleek, wind-cheating design that's distinctive from other vehicles on the road, which means it's likely to attract attention bystanders who see it out and about.
It's also a safe ride, which is important for anyone who wants to buy an electric SUV. Euro NCAP gave the Taycan a five-star safety rating. ANCAP has yet to ratify this score.
Taycan is an affordable luxury electric car. Although it's relatively new in the battery-powered performance sedan market, it quickly gained a reputation.
It out-accelerated the Tesla Model S in our tests. However it can't be compared to the Lucid Air or Audi etron GT and the asking price is often more than twice as much.
Power and Torque
Its dual-motor setup provides a whopping 570 horsepower, which is enough to get it from 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 250km/h. It's more powerful than some rivals' 370hp, but not as fast as the 520hp in the Nissan EQS and the Tesla Model S's 550hp.
It's still a very impressive figure in terms of acceleration and a major deal for Porsche which is putting its trust on its EV line.
Comfortable and Reliable
The Taycan seats offer spirited driving comfort because they are firm, but not too enveloping. They are also well padded and offer excellent lateral support. This is especially useful for long trips in the back.
Its unique replete screen environment is part of the Taycan’s appeal as well as its class-leading brakes and steering. These characteristics combine to make it a car that really feels like a sports car. Adding in its impressive handling and brilliant agility, the Taycan is the perfect mix of performance and comfort that Porsche has so often sought to achieve with their internal-combustion vehicles.
