The verdict
What's good
Wagon body adds genuine cargo versatility without compromising the Taycan's sharp dynamics
Rear seats fold flat to produce a wide, accessible load floor for bulky items
Regenerative braking calibration feels more natural than most EV rivals in traffic
Sport Turismo retains the Taycan's low seating position that gives a sports-car feel
What's not
Real-world range on sustained motorway runs falls noticeably short of the EPA figure
Taycan fast-charging network coverage outside cities is still sparse versus Tesla
Battery mass raises overall weight enough to affect feel in quick direction changes
Software infotainment bugs have been reported by early owners and require OTA patience
The engine
Dual-Motor Electric
Dual-Motor Electric
The Taycan's two motors — including a rare two-speed gearbox on the rear axle — deliver brutal, repeatable launches and Porsche-sharp response, holding their full performance lap after lap.
Porsche's first series EV rides on an 800-volt architecture co-developed for Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid racers, prioritizing thermal stability and repeatable performance over a single hero number.
The Taycan was the first production car with an 800-volt system — half the charging time and lighter wiring.
Its rear axle uses a two-speed transmission, almost unheard-of in EVs, for both launch and top-end efficiency.
