NEW PORSCHE TAYCAN 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST! LARGER BATTERY, MORE EFFICIENT MOTOR, & CRAZY CHARGING

EV Channels Review

The refreshed 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Sport Turismo delivers impressive performance and charging capabilities, but its highway range falls slightly short of expectations. While the larger 97 kWh usable battery and more efficient motors are notable upgrades, the reviewer achieved a real-world highway range of approximately 311 miles (500 km) at 70 mph. This figure, while substantial, was considered slightly less than hoped for, especially compared to the sedan variant which is expected to be more efficient. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's exceptional charging speed, comfortable high-speed cruising ability (up to 160 mph), and the advanced Porsche Active Ride suspension as key strengths. However, the efficiency of the Sport Turismo variant on larger wheels was noted as a compromise. Despite the range not being class-leading, the reviewer concludes that for most users, the range is sufficient, and the overall refinement and performance make it a compelling, albeit expensive, option.
