Style & Design: 10/10
Porsche made waves in 2015 when it revealed the Mission E, a sleek, four-door concept that supposedly hinted at Porsche’s future electric plans. Four short years later, Porsche revealed the production Taycan as a 2020 model. It turns out the Mission E was far more than a hint; it was a near-production ready Taycan hiding in plain sight.
Not only is the Taycan unmistakably forward-looking, but it’s one of the more unique designs on the road. No one will mistake this car for anything else, which is the kind of statement you want to make when spending north of $100,000 on a car. That’s a good thing, considering the company the Taycan keeps. The Tesla Model S has aged better than most anything else on the road today and the Lucid Air flaunts another unique sedan aesthetic.
Inside, the Taycan oozes with stout build quality and Germanic attention to detail. While Tesla and other EV newcomers may struggle to match their more established counterparts’ levels of construction, Porsche is leading the way, not only with this Taycan but with everything else in its lineup.
The Taycan is nearly a carbon copy of the groundbreaking Mission E concept Porsche debuted in 2015. Now in production form, its design isn’t any less unique. Porsche
Prices
Prices of the Porsche Taycan increased quite significantly at all levels — starting price, destination charge, and lack of eligibility for the $7,500 federal tax credit. Because of that, the effective purchase cost is way higher than in the case of the 2022 model year.
The entry-level Porsche Taycan, with a 79.2-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery, has an MSRP of $90,900 (plus a $1,650 destination charge), which means $92,550 total without any options.
Over a year ago, this version was offered for $82,700 (plus $1,350 DST) and eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit, so the effective cost was $76,550. We are talking about a $16,000 (or 20.9 percent) difference, despite the MSRP increasing by only $8,200 (10 percent).
A similar increase in effective cost concerns basically all Porsche Taycan cars. Prices with DST span from $90,900 up to $199,150.

Porsche announced earlier this year that intends to apply «significant price increases» on its models when it releases the new model year vehicles in the middle of 2023, which potentially means that the current prices might go even higher.
The question is whether the Porsche Taycan will attract customers at those higher prices. So far in 2023, sales decreased year-over-year, but we know that it’s more related to the limited supply rather than demand. Production is expected to noticeably increase soon.
Anyway, here is the list of 12 main Porsche Taycan versions from the least to the most expensive:
Porsche Taycan (2019 – 2023) – багажник, практичность и безопасность
Porsche Taycan находится где-то между 911 и Panamera по размеру, но превосходит его по весу с точки зрения внутреннего пространства благодаря электрической трансмиссии.
Спереди, очевидно, много места, и сзади тоже на удивление много места — места над головой немного тесно для более высоких пассажиров, хотя это улучшается, если вы заказываете дополнительный панорамный люк на крыше.
Места для ног очень много благодаря тому, что Porsche называет набором «гаражей для ног» или углублениями в аккумуляторе в пространстве для ног заднего пассажира. Это увеличивает количество предлагаемого пространства, сохраняя при этом обычно низкую и спортивную посадку.
Не будучи особенно большим автомобилем, Taycan легко маневрирует и паркуется, а также оснащен полным набором датчиков парковки и камер, которые помогут вам разместить его именно там, где вы хотите.
Багажное отделение электромобилей часто может быть ограничено, но эта модель предлагает достаточно хорошие 366 литров в заднем багажнике (помогло так называемое «балконное решение» для задних силовых агрегатов) и дополнительные 81 литр во втором переднем багажнике.
Безопасность
Euro NCAP не оценивал Porsche Taycan, поэтому мы не можем сказать, насколько он безопасен по сравнению с конкурентами. Тем не менее, мы можем сказать, что эта модель оснащена множеством технологий помощи водителю (ниже) и дополнительной уверенностью в виде серьезного механического сцепления, а это означает, что она должна быть верным и надежным компаньоном.

Range, Energy Use & Charging: 10/15
The Taycan 4S with the Performance Plus battery is rated by the EPA at 227 miles of driving on a single charge. Real-world driving reveals closer to 240 miles on a single charge, and the Taycan excels at providing an incredibly accurate estimate of the vehicle’s range. Many EVs still struggle to accurately predict how many miles of range the car has, fluctuations based on the current driving scenario. Not so in the Taycan.
The Taycan’s 800-volt architecture means it can charge from 5% battery to 80% in as little as 23 minutes, provided it’s plugged into a DC fast charger. Normal DC charging (a 50 kW station) will fill up the battery from 5 to 80% in 93 minutes.
Unfortunately, the Taycan’s range lags considerably behind the Model S (405 miles) and the Lucid Air Dream (471 miles). Like the Taycan, Lucid’s Air has an 800-volt setup, allowing ultra-fast charging. Tesla’s Model S does not have such a setup and isn’t expected to switch to one in the near future.
Performance: 14/15
The base Taycan is a rear-wheel-drive sedan with 321 horsepower in regular driving, with 402 horsepower on tap using the car’s “Overboost” feature for short periods. Torque maxes out at 254 pound-feet. This car has a 79.2 kWh battery as standard and a single electric motor. Range is 200 miles per the EPA; an optional larger 93.4 kWh battery brings range to 225 miles. All Taycan models have a unique two-speed automatic transmission.
Next in line is the all-wheel-drive (and dual-motor) Taycan 4 Cross Turismo wagon with 375 hp (with 469 using the Overboost feature). It features a larger 93.4 kWh battery. Range is 215 miles. The Taycan 4S adds more power to mix for 429 hp (522 with Overboost), dual motors, and either 199 miles of EPA range (79.2 kWh battery) or 227 miles of range (93.4 kWh Performance Battery Plus).
For performance-minded buyers who don’t want to step up to a Turbo model, Porsche has you covered with the latest addition to the Taycan lineup: the all-wheel-drive Taycan GTS sedan and Sport Turismo wagon. These models bump power up to 509 hp (590 using Overboost) and add a variety of trim and suspension tuning upgrades.
The Taycan Turbo sedan and Cross Turismo models take things further with 616 horsepower (670 using Overboost). They have 212 and 204 miles of range, respectively, per the EPA. Finally, the Taycan Turbo S sedan and Cross Turismo models have 616 horsepower (750 using Overboost). They have 201 and 202 miles of range, respectively, per the EPA.
Steering feedback is sublime and lends a feeling of direct communication with the road that the Model S can’t replicate. The Taycan 4S also feels lighter than its 4,773-pound curb weight suggests.
The only complaint about the car’s handling would be the brakes: The pedal didn’t have the even, linear feel you’d hope for on a performance car of any ilk. Instead, it felt overly synthetic, though drivers will adapt to its feel over time.

Для улучшения устойчивости на дороге производитель установил активные стабилизаторы поперечной устойчивости.
Features, Specifications & Details of 2023 Porsche Taycan
The thought of having a car that looks like a sportscar feels like a sportscar, but with the 2023 Porsche Taycan, you’re getting it all in an all-electric form. A Porsche badged sportscar that offers almost everything and is powered by an electric powertrain. Sure it doesn’t offer an appealing driving range as the Lucid Air or the Tesla Model S. But the Taycan offers what it does best and that’s the athletic performance that the competition lacks. With its starting 450-hp base model to an insane 750-hp Turbo S model, the Taycan offers absurd performance and surreal driving. The Porsche Taycan offers a crazy 270-kW DC charging thanks to its 800-volt architecture. If you can compromise on the range then we are certain that Porsche has a lot to offer with its Taycan.
Comfort & Room: 9/15
The Taycan seats four people (compared to most sedans that seat five) and while the interior looks small if you’re standing outside the car, the levels of comfort inside are impressive. Not only can you fit a rear-facing car seat in the back without pushing the front passenger’s seat into the dashboard, but taller passengers also fit in the rear seats without discomfort.
One key option to consider is the glass roof, which opens up the Taycan’s cabin and helps it feel more spacious. Nevertheless, if interior space is essential in your luxury electric sedan, the Taycan will come up short against the EQS, Model S and Lucid Air.
The seats themselves were fantastic: firm without being hard and very well bolstered so as to aptly keep you in place during spirited driving.
Безопасность
Покупатель может не беспокоиться за надежность и безопасность электрокара Porsche Taycan. Немецкий бренд имеет прекрасную репутацию в этой сфере. Электромобиль оснащается всеми стандартными системами и устройствами безопасности, которые должны быть по умолчанию в транспортном средстве такого уровня. Здесь присутствуют подушки безопасности по всему салону, система предупреждения о непристёгнутых ремнях безопасности, точки крепления ISOFIX на задних сиденьях и т. п.
Есть ли проблемы?
Автомобиль Taycan новый и пока о каких-то долгосрочных проблемах неизвестно. Porsche имеет репутацию производителя автомобилей на века. Но, конечно, при более длительном сроке эксплуатации выпущенных электрокаров могут появиться какие-то болезни, характерные для них.
Оценка безопасности
Краш-тесты Euro NCAP электромобиль Porsche Taycan прошёл в конце 2019 года. Тогда общая оценка составила 5 звёзд. Показатели защиты взрослых и детей составили 85% и 83%, соответственно. Это хороший результат, но некоторые семейные внедорожники работают лучше. Наличие большого числа систем безопасности, входящих в стандартную комплектацию, вселяют уверенность и спокойствие в покупателей.
Engine, Specifications & Performance
Porsche offers a variety of models with its Taycan with different configuration levels to let the buyers choose the perfect fit for them. The base model with its a single electric motor that makes between 402 and 469 hp. The 4S model comes with two electric motors that make over 522 horsepower with all-wheel drive. The GTS model offers 590 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque with all-wheel drive going standard from here. The top-spec Turbo and Turbo S models are the best with their insane 670 hp and 750 hp.
The acceleration time varies for each model depending upon its power output. The 4S model accelerates from 0-60 mph in under 3.4 seconds as tested by CarandDriver. The top-of-the-line Turbo S model offers an acceleration time from 0-60 mph in an insane 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph. The Porsche Taycan performs like a Porsche and delivers one of the best driving experiences you could ever have. It offers a thrilling drive with its insane quickness and riping fast speeds.
The car is a rocket when it comes to its blistering acceleration but doesn’t come close to the Model S Plaid’s 2-second time. The buyers will be impressed by the car’s high-quality interior that offers a better hold of the passenger and provides plenty of comforts. The Taycan will sook you with its athletic nature the moment you step foot on the throttle, offering a delightful driving experience.

Porsche Taycan (2019 – 2023) – интерьер, технологии и комфорт
Первое большое отличие, когда вы опускаете Taycan в низкое положение для вождения, — это большая кнопка включения / выключения, которую вы используете для запуска автомобиля. Затем вы начнете искать небольшой переключатель, который был перемещен на саму приборную панель, чтобы освободить место на центральной консоли.
С тех пор, несмотря на то, что это полностью современный взгляд на классическую кабину Porsche, в частности, по словам производителя, чистый стиль оригинального 911 1963 года. Хотя это правда, что кнопок очень мало, а новая отдельно стоящая приборная панель шире, чем рулевое колесо, вот где вещи начинают расходиться.
Эта приборная панель представляет собой новый безрамочный дизайн, основанный на 16,8-дюймовом изогнутом цифровом дисплее. Особенности сенсорного управления для освещения и подвешивания по краям. В середине приборной панели находится привычный нам основной информационно-развлекательный экран размером 10,9 дюйма и возможность второго дисплея с левой стороны, которым может пользоваться передний пассажир.
Черный пластик от двери до двери — красивый дизайн, но если указать второй экран, эффект прерывается зазорами между ними.
Другой 8,4-дюймовый сенсорный экран внизу управляет кондиционером и содержит панель ввода текста для ввода адресов в спутниковую навигацию и так далее, а также есть возможность установить еще один 5,9-дюймовый экран сзади для четырехзонного климат-контроля.
Поскольку это высокотехнологичный электрический спортивный автомобиль, в нем, по-видимому, нет вентиляционных отверстий с механическим управлением – они ушли в прошлое, говорит Порше – это означает, что теперь вы управляете потоком воздуха с климат-экрана (как в Тесла модель 3).
Продолжая тему выхлопной трубы с нулевым уровнем выбросов, предлагается выбор из кожи оливкового дубления, которая менее вредна для окружающей среды, или возможность полностью не скрывать полы, сделанные из старых переработанных рыболовных сетей.
Комфорт
Несмотря на спортивный потенциал Taycan, он действительно очень хорош в качестве комфортабельного круизера, особенно модель Turbo с меньшими колесами. Turbo S немного более дергается на разбитых поверхностях и издает немного больше шума от шин.
Преимущество обоих автомобилей заключается в том, что в салоне не слышен шум ветра даже на высокой скорости благодаря лучшему коэффициенту аэродинамического сопротивления. Это в значительной степени связано с повышением эффективности, но имеет дополнительное преимущество, позволяющее Taycan рассекать воздух практически без шороха. достигнув интерьера.
Очевидно, что двигатель издает очень мало шума, за исключением небольшого визга, когда вы действительно сильно нажимаете, в то время как генератор спортивного звука входит в стандартную комплектацию модели Turbo S и обеспечивает немного басов, чтобы помочь уменьшить разрыв между скоростью и тишиной. Он также устраняет некоторые из наиболее раздражающих шумов электрической трансмиссии.
Конечно, есть выбор сидений, и мы обнаружили, что спортивные ковшеобразные элементы поддерживают и удобны для долгого путешествия, с возможностью опустить их низко в машину для скольжения.

The exterior of the Porsche Taycan is a masterpiece of design and engineering. It has all the classic Porsche curves combined with modern touches to create a truly unique vehicle. The body panels are made of lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber, making it incredibly aerodynamic. The wheels have been designed to be both lightweight and strong, allowing for exceptional handling characteristics. Read more
The headlights are equipped with LED technology, and the vehicle has adaptive cruise control and rear-wheel steering, further enhancing the driving experience. The rear spoiler also adds to the sporty look, while the low profile of the car gives it a sleek and stylish appearance.
The exterior also features a range of colors and finishes, from the classic Porsche colors to more daring and vibrant hues. Additionally, the car has the option of optional carbon fiber accents for an even more luxurious look.
The Porsche Taycan is equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras, ensuring a safe and secure driving experience. It also has multiple parking sensors, so that drivers can park with ease.
Infotainment: 11/15
The Taycan’s interior is centered around a trio of screens that display and control the car’s functions. The driver has a 16.8-inch curved screen for the instrument panel, flanked by a small collection of physical buttons.
Drivers can configure this display in a variety of ways, including a full-map setup with the navigation system; audio controls, trip computer, ADAS function and performance data can all be displayed.
Then there’s the main 10.9-inch infotainment screen at the center of the dashboard, below which sits a 8.4-inch digital screen to control many of the infotainment and climate control functions. This lower screen supplants most physical buttons inside the Taycan’s cabin, and to good effect. As an added bonus, the screen has a slight haptic feedback that confirms you’ve properly hit the control you’re after.
For another $1,100, Taycan buyers can add a fourth screen, set in the dashboard in front of the front passenger. This 10.9-inch unit allows the passenger to control many of the navigation and audio functions of the car. For 2023, Porsche added wireless Android Auto connectivity, in addition to the existing wireless Apple CarPlay system the Taycan comes with.
The Taycan also has a pair of USB-C ports in the front of the cabin and a second set in the rear seats. There’s also wireless smartphone charging in the center console between the two front seats.
The Taycan’s cargo space lags significantly behind its peers. Porsche fans looking for meaningful space should consider the Sport Turismo or Cross Turismo wagon versions shown here. Porsche
Is the 2023 Porsche Taycan Worth it? Which Taycan is the Best Value?
No Taycan is cheap, and unfortunately many features and amenities that are often standard (even on cars that cost half as much as this Porsche) must be added. Thus, any Taycan model’s base price quickly balloons upward with even modest options added.
But with a little discipline at the dealership, a base rear-wheel-drive Taycan ($86,700), or a lightly optioned 4 Cross Turismo or 4S ($107,950) will still give you all of the flash and nearly all of the thrills as the higher-end models, but with a savings of tens of thousands of dollars.
The savvy-buy is the 4 Cross Turismo ($99,150 for 469 horsepower and the much-appreciated extra cargo space) with either the Technology Package ($5,300 for that fourth interior screen, a head-up display, remote park assist, lane change assist and adaptive cruise control) or the Premium Package ($5,930 for 14-way power seats that are ventilated, lane-change assist, a 360-degree parking camera, power-folding mirrors and Porsche’s fancy Dynamic Lighting System).
Or grab a $135,000 GTS sedan, which offers a Turbo-like fun quotient (plus the Turbo’s rear motor and power inverter), 590 horsepower, the best drag coefficient of the entire Taycan family, unique suspension and powertrain calibrations and sportier front bumpers.
The 4S sedan and wagon variants are as much performance as most people will ever want or need, so don’t feel compelled to pay up for a Turbo model. Not only does it have neck-snapping acceleration (zero-to-60 mph happens in 3.8 seconds, according to Porsche, but their figures are often conservative), but the handling on this model is where the car earns its Porsche crest and sets itself apart from its more-powerful competitors.
The Taycan feels very much like a $100,000 vehicle; the doors close with a resounding thud, the wind and road noise is non-existent and harsh potholes barely register when you hit them dead-on.
Safety & Driver Assistance Tech: 8/15
The Taycan has not been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for crashworthiness. The Taycan did receive a five out of five-star rating from the Euro NCAP. Standard active safety features on the Taycan include lane keep assist and front and rear parking sensors.
Other active safety features often standard on vehicles costing tens of thousands of dollars less than the Taycan must be added as options. These include adaptive cruise control ($2,050), lane change assist ($950) and a 360-degree parking camera ($1,200).
Rear-seat space in the Taycan doesn’t match its competitors yet it’s still useful; a rear-facing car seat or taller passengers fit perfectly fine back there, but maybe not for long drives. Porsche

Выводы
Вполне возможно, что Porsche теперь имеет смысл сделать более дешёвый вариант заднеприводного Taycan. Он вполне мог бы конкурировать с появившимися за последние 1-2 года моделями. Это должна быть максимально практичная версия с большим запасом хода, полезным пространством и быстрой зарядкой.
Среди сильных сторон электрокара можно назвать мощную динамику, прекрасную управляемость, большой запас хода. Можно также отметить хороший баланс производительности, габаритов и массы. На рынке роскошных электромобилей Porsche Taycan по-прежнему остаётся лидером. В компании умеют создавать транспортные средства, которые разрушают барьеры и бросают вызов восприятию.
