THE 2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS SPORT TURISMO IS A VERY COOL WAGON

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, a high-performance electric wagon that blends practicality with Porsche's signature driving dynamics. He highlights the GTS's position between the 4S and Turbo trims, offering 590 horsepower and impressive acceleration (0-60 in 3.2 seconds). Key features include a unique, configurable panoramic roof with adjustable transparency, a sportier exterior design with black accents, and an Alcantara-heavy interior with red contrast stitching. DeMuro praises the Taycan's driving experience, noting its sharp steering, flat cornering, and overall Porsche feel, which he argues justifies the premium over competitors like Tesla. He also points out the Sport Turismo's practical advantages over the sedan, such as increased headroom and cargo space (42 cubic feet). Criticisms include the reliance on screens for most controls, including climate vents, and a driver-assist system that requires frequent steering wheel input. Despite the steep price (starting around $135,000 for the Sport Turismo), DeMuro concludes it's a fantastic enthusiast wagon, awarding it a DougScore of 71/100, matching the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo.
