Porsche Taycan (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Mind-blowing performance	Base model should really come with more kit as standard
Genuinely involving to drive	Not as practical as a Tesla Model S
Exceptionally rapid charging	Poor rear visibility

Quick Summary

The Porsche Taycan is a pure electric, four-door sports GT that sets a new benchmark for driver involvement in an EV. A direct rival to the Tesla Model S and Audi e-tron GT, the Taycan delivers the performance, quality, and handling expected of a Porsche, just in an electric package. The interior is a high-tech, luxurious space with a precise build quality, though some desirable features remain on the extensive options list. Practicality is decent, with room for four adults and a usable boot, while the Cross Turismo variant adds more space and a rugged, off-road-inspired design.

With its innovative 800-volt architecture, the Taycan boasts some of the fastest charging speeds available, adding over 100 miles of range in minutes at a compatible charger. Real-world range is respectable, with some models capable of over 300 miles. While the Turbo models offer staggering acceleration, even the entry-level rear-wheel-drive version is thrilling to drive and feels more agile. Running costs are significantly lower than equivalent petrol performance cars thanks to tax exemptions and cheaper 'fuelling' at home, though insurance and tyre costs remain high.

Best for: Drivers seeking the ultimate electric performance car, those who value an engaging driving experience and Porsche prestige, and buyers who can justify the premium price and extensive options list.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget, those who need the maximum possible practicality and interior space, or drivers who want a high level of standard equipment without paying extra.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taycan if: You want a premium EV that prioritises an exciting and engaging driving experience above all else, and you have the budget for the car and its desirable options.

Consider alternatives if: Maximum practicality, a lower purchase price, or access to Tesla’s Supercharger network are more important to you.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Taycan has redefined the performance EV segment. While the Tesla Model S may be more practical and offer access to a superior charging network, the Taycan is undoubtedly the driver's choice, delivering a level of dynamic involvement and build quality that justifies its premium positioning. It proves that an electric car can be every bit as thrilling and desirable as a traditional Porsche sports car.
