About Taycan

When the Taycan arrived in 2019, it did something many skeptics thought impossible: it made an electric car feel like a Porsche. Low, wide and gorgeous, it paired an 800-volt electrical architecture with a two-speed transmission on the rear axle, allowing fast, repeatable acceleration and very quick charging. Its handling and steering won over journalists who had expected a Tesla rival with a nicer badge and found instead a car that wanted to be driven hard.

The lineup quickly grew to include the rugged Cross Turismo and the Sport Turismo wagon, and an extensive 2024 update brought more range, faster charging and more power, along with the ferocious Turbo GT. Taycan Turbo models use the word in name only, which still annoys some purists. Owners love the performance and refinement; critics point to a cramped rear seat, high prices and steep depreciation, which has made used Taycans a remarkable bargain.

Sales have fallen from their early peak, and Porsche has slowed its electric ambitions, but the Taycan remains its electric flagship sedan and a benchmark for the Audi e-tron GT, its corporate twin, as well as the Lucid Air, Mercedes-AMG EQE and Tesla Model S. Its fortunes are bound up with Porsche's broader strategy and with the coming electric 718 sports cars. This page follows Taycan updates, track records, range tests, recalls and comparisons, including the evergreen Taycan-versus-Panamera question.
