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. Offered in five variants—standard, 4S, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S—the Taycan combines mind-blowing performance with genuine driving involvement. Packed with innovative technologies, including an 800-volt electrical architecture, it boasts a luxurious interior, decent range of around 240 miles in real-world driving, and sets new standards for electric car excitement. The 2021 Cross Turismo variant adds practicality with a shooting brake design and extra headroom, making it one of the fastest and best-driving crossover models available.

The Taycan drives beautifully, with Porsche's engineering prowess evident in its precise handling and playful cornering despite weighing over two tonnes. The rear-wheel drive model with the Performance Plus battery is the pick of the range, offering 469bhp, a 0-62mph time of 5.4 seconds, and exceptional agility. Running costs are significantly lower than equivalent petrol rivals, with charging costs around 5p per mile compared to 16p for a 30mpg petrol car. The Taycan is also free of Vehicle Excise Duty and London congestion charges. Whilst the options list is extensive and some items should be standard, the Taycan represents the best luxury electric car on sale for those with the means to justify it.

Best for: Drivers seeking thrilling performance with genuine involvement, those prioritising low running costs and tax benefits, and buyers wanting a luxurious electric sports GT with exceptional charging capabilities.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those needing maximum practicality like a Tesla Model S, or drivers with high mileage who might prefer a plug-in hybrid alternative.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taycan if: You seek thrilling performance with genuine involvement, prioritise low running costs and tax benefits, or want a luxurious electric sports GT with exceptional charging capabilities.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum practicality like a Tesla Model S, have high mileage and prefer a plug-in hybrid, or are budget-conscious about purchase price.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Taycan stands as the best luxury electric car on sale, offering mind-blowing performance and genuine driving involvement that sets it apart from rivals. Whilst the Tesla Model S offers better practicality and lower purchase prices with access to Tesla's charging network, the Taycan's superior handling dynamics and exceptional rapid charging make it the choice for those prioritising driving excitement. The Porsche Panamera plug-in hybrid provides an alternative for high-mileage drivers seeking petrol peace of mind, whilst the Bentley Continental GT caters to those wanting ultimate prestige. For performance and perceived quality, the Taycan's price is justifiable within the prestige sports GT market, particularly the rear-wheel drive model with Performance Plus battery.
