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 excitement. The 2021 Cross Turismo variant adds practicality with a lifestyle-oriented shooting brake design and extra headroom.

Running costs are significantly lower than equivalent petrol and diesel rivals, 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 London congestion zone entry. However, the extensive options list can inflate costs by a third, with items like the Type 2 charging cable and adaptive cruise control being optional rather than standard. Insurance sits in group 50, and whilst servicing costs are lower than petrol alternatives, expensive tyres will require frequent replacement due to the car's substantial torque. The Taycan is expected to hold its value exceptionally well compared to conventional luxury GTs.

Best for: Buyers seeking a thrilling, involving electric performance car with luxury credentials, those prioritising low running costs and tax benefits, and drivers with access to rapid charging infrastructure.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those requiring maximum practicality, drivers with poor rear visibility tolerance, or those unwilling to pay premium prices for optional equipment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taycan if: You seek a thrilling, involving electric performance car with luxury credentials, prioritise low running costs and tax benefits, or desire access to rapid charging infrastructure.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum practicality, prioritise budget-conscious purchasing, have poor tolerance for rear visibility limitations, or wish to avoid premium optional equipment costs.

Competitive Position: The Porsche Taycan stands as the best luxury electric car on sale, delivering mind-blowing performance combined with genuine driving involvement that rivals cannot match. Whilst the Tesla Model S offers cheaper purchase prices, better practicality and access to Tesla's charging network, the Taycan's superior handling dynamics and Porsche's engineering excellence justify the premium. The plug-in hybrid Porsche Panamera presents an alternative for high-mileage drivers seeking petrol peace of mind, whilst the Bentley Continental GT caters to those prioritising traditional luxury over electric innovation. For buyers with the means and lifestyle to justify it, the Taycan's exceptional performance, rapid charging capabilities and strong value retention make it the definitive choice in the prestige electric sports car segment.
