PORSCHE TAYCAN RWD FULL REVIEW - LESS OR MORE FUN WITH THE NEW BASE MODEL?

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan RWD (2S) review highlights its position as an "entry-level" model, emphasizing that "less" can indeed be "more" fun for driving purists. While it sacrifices the extreme acceleration of its higher-tier siblings (0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds), it offers a more engaging and "pure Porsche feeling" when cornering, especially with the optional rear-axle steering and air suspension. The reviewer praises its precise steering, natural feel, and agile handling, suggesting it might even offer more cornering fun than the all-wheel-drive variants due to its rear-wheel-drive dynamics. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles), achievable with more realistic driving. The interior, while featuring typical Porsche build quality and extensive screens, receives minor criticism for climate control usability and occasional screen unresponsiveness. The Race-Tex interior is recommended for its comfort and sustainability. Despite its "base model" designation, the Taycan RWD is still a premium offering, with the tested vehicle reaching around $140k with options, though the reviewer advises opting for a more basic configuration to enjoy its core strengths.
