PORSCHE TAYCAN RWD VS 4S! DON'T BUY INTO THE HYPE! 2021 BUYERS GUIDE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive buyer's guide to Porsche's entry-level Taycan models, focusing on the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) base model and the 4S. The reviewer highlights that while the RWD Taycan offers a more accessible entry point and impressive handling dynamics, it suffers from a noticeable lack of power in real-world scenarios, feeling sluggish during overtakes. The 4S, conversely, is presented as the superior choice, offering a significant performance uplift that makes it feel much closer to the Turbo S, without a substantial penalty in weight or handling. The reviewer strongly recommends the 4S over the RWD model, even with optional extras, citing its superior acceleration, overall driving experience, and better value proposition despite a slightly higher cost. The review also touches upon Porsche's future battery technology and offers practical advice on interior speccing for entry-level models.
