Designs, Models, Engine, and Performance

Taycan comes in many designs/models, such as:

  • The STANDARD Porsche Taycan: which is plain, is a rear-wheel-drive having a 79kWh battery slung between two axles. It offers a 321-brake horsepower (bhp).
  • The Taycan 4S: is a little more powerful, adding an e-motor on the front axle for an all-wheel drive. It generates up to 522 horsepower with a standard 79.2 kWh battery.
  • The Taycan Turbo and Turbo S: become more powerful with a large 93kWh battery. You can add this battery to the normal Taycan or Taycan 4S by paying some extra amount, usually about $6k. It offers 616 bhp in normal running or even 750 bhp in overboost.

The Taycan 4S hits 60mph in 3.4 seconds, impressing acceleration. Turbo S speed is like a rocket ship taking off, hitting 60mph in 2.4 seconds and clearing a quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at an impressive speed of 130 mph. Turbo S does not feel stiff and harsh upon driving it.

The benefits for Taycan are that you can charge your car at home without worrying about the cost of a petrol tank and without polluting the environment.

The 2021 Model

Porsche brings some changes to the Taycan lineup for 2020. The features were updated, as well as the new battery choices available. It also had a more affordable rear-base drive model. The 4S has a standard low-capacity battery with 71.0 kWh power and an 83.7 kWh battery still available. The smaller battery is, of course, cheaper but produces less horsepower. The Taycan is a 4wd and not a 2wd electric car.

Porsche has also recalibrated the charging system for better preservation of the battery's service life and its overall power loss limit during the fast charging process. There were several more updates in the 2021 model, such as the addition of a head-up display, SiriusXM radio, several new/variety of interior and exterior color options, and a new system of software that allows the owners of the Taycan to purchase or subscribe to new functions without having to visit a dealership.

Porsche Taycan Interior Design

The Taycan has a tech-heavy environment displaying great innovations in one place. The design of the Porsche Taycan is outwardly very simple and is similar to its Porsche family, i.e., other Porsche models.

The interior, on the other hand, is perfectly covered in rich materials and a wide range of color schemes available as per your choice. Taycon has some very cool luxury options available such as the four-zone climate control, massaging options in the front seats, heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats.

As for the seatings, a standard Taycan comes with 2+2 seatings, but if you want, you can add a three spot at the back as well. One thing lacking in the interior design is the storage space.

Porsche Taycan Pricing

Porsche Taycan comes in four versions; Standard Taycan, Taycan S, Taycan Turbo, and Taycan Turbo S. Standard Taycan costs about $81000, a Taycan 4S about $105000, a Taycan Turbo about $152000, and a Taycan Turbo S about $186000.

The price varies as we move forward to get more and more features. According to many car professionals, the most affordable version is the Taycan 4S that has a 522-hp powertrain, air suspension, leather interior, 19-inch wheels, and remote entry.

Porsche Taycan Range, Charging, and Battery Life

If we are talking about driving capabilities, then the Standard Taycan has a rear-wheel-drive while Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, and Taycan Turbo S has an all-wheel drive.

In the standard Taycan, it's claimed that the car will get speed from zero to 60mph within 5.4 seconds. If you are buying standard Taycan, then we recommend spending some extra money to get Performance Battery Plus that will enhance your battery life, and its capacity will rise from 79kWh to 93kWh and also the range will increase from 250 miles to 300 miles in a charge.

As the price increases, the Taycan Turbo S comes with more satisfying features, and the company claims that Taycan Turbo S can run from 0 to 60 mph within 2.8 seconds.

The Taycan Turbo S also has Carbon-ceramic brakes and wider tires than the Standard Taycan and Taycan 4S. You don't need to spend extra for a battery if you are buying a Taycan Turbo S as it ranges from 242 miles to 258 miles within a charge.

Driver Assistance and Safety Features

Porsche's all Taycan model doesn't compromise on the safety of drivers, and this thing makes each model unique from all the Electric Vehicles in the market. All Taycan models have driving assistance features that help the driver to move the vehicle efficiently.

The features include automated emergency brakes, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. If you are paying the price, then Porsche is also making sure about your safety and precious life.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, all the models are perfectly safe to drive. The most powerful safety features include a blind-spot monitoring system, night vision feature, and adaptive cruise control with stop and go technology.

Bottom Line

In the end, the final decision is up to you to choose from the models. Each model has some uniqueness that changes with the price, and if you have no issue of budget, then moving towards Porsche Taycan Turbo S will be the best option for you as you can enjoy every feature of the car with high comfort and luxury levels.
