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 car that represents a whole new era of performance electric vehicles. Available in five variants—standard, 4S, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S—the Taycan combines mind-blowing performance with genuine driving involvement. The Turbo S achieves a kidney-bruising 2.8 seconds to 62mph, whilst even the rear-wheel drive model delivers stunning performance with 469bhp and a 5.4-second sprint. Packed with innovative 800-volt electrical architecture, the Taycan boasts a luxurious interior, decent range of around 240 miles in real-world driving, and sets new standards for electric car driving excitement. The 2021 Cross Turismo variant adds practicality with a shooting brake design and extra headroom.

Running costs are significantly lower than equivalent petrol and diesel luxury cars, with charging costs of just over 5p per mile compared to 16p per mile for a 30mpg petrol car. The Taycan is free of Vehicle Excise Duty, saving approximately £4,500, and offers free entry to London's congestion zone. However, the options list is extensive, with many items that should be standard—including the Type 2 charging cable—potentially increasing the purchase price by a third. Insurance sits in group 50, and whilst servicing costs are lower than petrol rivals, tyre wear will be significant due to the monstrous 1,060Nm of torque in the Turbo S. The Taycan is expected to hold its value very well, better than most conventional luxury GTs.

Best for: Drivers seeking a luxury electric performance car that is genuinely involving and exciting to drive, those with access to rapid charging infrastructure, and buyers prioritising low running costs and tax benefits.

Not ideal for: Those requiring maximum practicality (Tesla Model S offers more space), high-mileage drivers without home charging (plug-in hybrid Panamera may suit better), or buyers wanting a fully equipped base model without extensive optional extras.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taycan if: You seek a luxury electric performance car that is genuinely involving and exciting to drive, have access to rapid charging infrastructure, and prioritise low running costs and tax benefits.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum practicality (Tesla Model S offers more space), do high mileage without home charging (plug-in hybrid Panamera may suit better), or want a fully equipped base model without extensive optional extras.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Taycan stands as the best luxury electric car on sale, combining mind-blowing performance with genuine driving involvement that rivals cannot match. Whilst the Tesla Model S offers better practicality and cheaper purchase prices with access to Tesla's charging network, the Taycan's superior handling dynamics and Porsche's engineering excellence justify its premium positioning. The plug-in hybrid Porsche Panamera provides an alternative for high-mileage drivers seeking petrol peace of mind, whilst the Bentley Continental GT offers traditional luxury appeal. However, for those with the means and lifestyle to justify it, the Taycan's exceptional performance, rapid charging capability, and low running costs make it the ultimate choice in the prestige sports GT segment.
