Porsche Taycan

What the Taycan is

The Taycan is Porsche's battery-electric sports car. It is a four-door car with four or five seats, and the international model page lists it in three body styles. The Sport Saloon was the first version. The Sport Turismo has a sloping roofline and a load area behind the tailgate of more than 1,200 litres. The Cross Turismo adds off-road styling cues and comes with all-wheel drive as standard.

Performance and range

The entry car is rated at 300 kW, which is 408 PS. With overboost and launch control the Turbo S reaches 700 kW (952 PS), and the Turbo GT reaches 760 kW (1,034 PS). Top speed runs from 230 to 305 km/h. The page quotes a combined WLTP range of 599 to 700 km with the optional Performance Battery Plus and range-plus summer tyres. Across all variants the listed range runs from 460 to 697 km.

Charging and ownership

Porsche names a 28-module Performance Battery and an optional 33-module Performance Battery Plus. With the larger pack the car can charge at up to 320 kW on DC. Porsche gives 18 minutes for a 10 to 80 percent charge under ideal conditions. The high-voltage battery is covered worldwide for eight years or 160,000 km. Porsche also guarantees 80 percent residual capacity for three years or 60,000 km, then at least 70 percent until the battery warranty ends. Owners can use Porsche Connect services and the My Porsche App, and Apple CarPlay is mentioned.
