EV Channels Review
The 2022 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo, specifically the GTS trim, is lauded as a pinnacle performance EV and potentially the best Porsche ever made. The reviewer highlights its exceptional integration of drivetrain, steering, and suspension, delivering a driving experience superior to competitors like the Tesla Model S, particularly in handling and driver engagement. The Sport Turismo variant is praised for its increased practicality over the sedan, offering significantly more cargo space and improved rear-seat headroom. Key advantages include its rapid charging capabilities (260-270 kW), excellent thermal management for repeatable performance, and a surprisingly comfortable ride quality even in sport modes, a feat for a performance EV. The primary drawback mentioned is its high price point and potentially lower real-world range compared to some rivals, though Porsche's conservative range estimates often result in exceeding EPA figures. The reviewer strongly recommends the Sport Turismo over the sedan for its practicality and headroom, positioning the GTS as a sweet spot in the Taycan lineup.
