NEW PORSCHE TAYCAN REVIEW

EV Channels Review

Porsche's updated Taycan, specifically the 4 Cross Turismo model reviewed here, offers significant improvements in efficiency, performance, and charging capabilities. The reviewer highlights the enhanced aerodynamics and a larger usable battery capacity (just under 100 kWh) contributing to a WLTP range of over 600 km. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup with optional torque vectoring provides exceptional traction and handling, particularly noted during aggressive cornering on the track. The reviewer was impressed by the car's brutal acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.42s) and class-leading braking performance (100-0 km/h in 2.5s). Key criticisms include the infotainment system feeling dated and somewhat fiddly, and a surprisingly cramped interior space for a vehicle of its size. Despite the high price and optional extras adding significantly to the cost, the reviewer concludes that this base model delivers ample thrills and performance, making it a compelling choice without needing to opt for higher trims.
