SPINNING IT ON THE ICE WITH THE PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan 4S is presented as a more accessible yet still highly capable electric sports sedan. While it sacrifices some of the outright performance of its Turbo and Turbo S siblings, the 4S delivers a compelling driving experience, particularly in challenging conditions like ice and snow, thanks to its advanced traction control and optional winter tires. The reviewer highlights the car's refined interior, including the availability of a vegan option, and its surprisingly practical rear seating and cargo space for a sports car. Key criticisms include the reliance on touch controls for climate functions, which can be fiddly while driving, and the fact that the quoted range figures are optimistic and heavily influenced by usage and optional equipment like the heat pump. Despite these points, the 4S is lauded for offering a significant portion of the Taycan's premium feel and driving dynamics at a lower price point, making it a strong contender for those seeking a high-performance EV without the absolute top-tier cost.
