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 innovative 800-volt electrical architecture with luxurious interior design and impressive technology. The rear-wheel drive model with the Performance Plus battery offers the best balance, delivering 469bhp, a 0-62mph time of 5.4 seconds, and a real-world range exceeding 300 miles. The Taycan drives beautifully, with precise handling and remarkable agility for a car weighing over two tonnes, whilst the standard adaptive air suspension ensures exceptional comfort on long journeys.

The 2021 Cross Turismo variant adds practicality with a lifestyle-oriented shooting brake design and an extra 47mm of rear headroom. Running costs are significantly lower than equivalent petrol rivals, with charging costs around 5p per mile compared to 16p per mile for 30mpg petrol cars. The Taycan is free of Vehicle Excise Duty and London congestion charges, though insurance sits in group 50 and tyre wear is substantial due to enormous torque figures. With a 366-litre boot (446 litres on the Cross Turismo) and a luxurious, precisely built interior, the Taycan represents the best luxury electric car on sale for those with the means to justify it.

Best for: Buyers seeking thrilling performance with genuine driving involvement, those prioritising low running costs and tax benefits, and drivers wanting a luxurious, technologically advanced electric sports car.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those requiring maximum practicality, or drivers with poor rear visibility concerns and those seeking extensive standard equipment without costly options.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taycan if: You seek thrilling performance with genuine driving involvement, prioritise low running costs and tax benefits, or want a luxurious, technologically advanced electric sports car.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, require maximum practicality, or prefer vehicles with better rear visibility and more extensive standard equipment.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Taycan stands as the finest luxury electric car available, offering mind-blowing performance combined with genuinely involving driving dynamics that set it apart from rivals. Whilst the Tesla Model S provides cheaper purchase prices, better practicality and access to Tesla's charging network, the Taycan's superior handling, exceptional build quality and lower running costs justify its premium positioning. The Porsche Panamera plug-in hybrid offers an alternative for high-mileage drivers seeking petrol peace of mind, whilst the Bentley Continental GT provides traditional luxury appeal. However, for those with the means and lifestyle to justify it, the Taycan's blend of electric innovation, performance and Porsche engineering makes it the ultimate choice in its segment.
