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 (2019-present) is a groundbreaking pure electric, four-door sports GT, setting new standards for electric car driving excitement. Available in multiple variants, from a standard model to the ridiculously fast Turbo S, it boasts innovative technologies like an 800-volt electrical architecture. Its luxurious interior and decent range make it a compelling package, offering Porsche's signature involvement and fun, but in an electric format.

While it arrived later to the EV scene, the Taycan was worth the wait, delivering impressive real-world ranges of up to 300 miles with larger batteries. Charging is exceptionally rapid, capable of adding over 100 miles in minutes at 350kW DC chargers. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol rivals due to cheaper 'fuel' and zero Vehicle Excise Duty. Although some expected features are optional and rear visibility is poor, it offers a decent 366-litre boot (446 litres in the Cross Turismo) and a front trunk for cables, making it a highly desirable and value-retaining luxury EV.

Best for: Drivers seeking mind-blowing electric performance, a genuinely involving driving experience, rapid charging capabilities, and the luxury and prestige of a Porsche.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget, those requiring maximum rear passenger space or perfect rear visibility, or those who expect every feature to be standard without recourse to the extensive options list.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taycan if: You're looking for an electric car that delivers thrilling performance, engaging driving dynamics, rapid charging, and the luxury associated with the Porsche badge, and you're prepared for its premium price tag and optional extras.

Consider alternatives if: You need a more practical five-seater, prefer a conventional petrol or hybrid powertrain, or desire a vehicle with a more generous standard equipment list without significant additional cost.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Taycan stands at the pinnacle of performance EVs, offering an unparalleled blend of driving excitement, cutting-edge technology, and luxurious refinement. While rivals like the Tesla Model S might offer better practicality or a lower entry price, and Porsche's own Panamera provides a hybrid alternative, the Taycan excels in delivering a truly Porsche-like electric experience. Its strong residual values and lower running costs compared to petrol luxury GTs further cement its position as a highly desirable, albeit premium, choice.
