PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS 2022 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is presented as the 'sweet spot' in the Taycan range, offering a blend of the Cross Turismo's body style with the sportier look of the standard Taycan. The GTS trim provides a significant power upgrade over the 4S model without the premium price tag of the Turbo or Turbo S variants. Reviewer Matt Watson highlights its impressive driving dynamics, noting the firm yet comfortable ride in normal mode and the more focused, aggressive feel in Sport and Sport Plus modes. The all-wheel-drive system and low center of gravity contribute to excellent handling and grip. Positives include the high-quality interior with Alcantara trim, the improved practicality over the standard Taycan with a larger boot, and the satisfyingly quick charging capabilities. However, the review points out some ergonomic annoyances, such as awkward access to the center console cubby and a small rear wiper. The reviewer also questions Porsche's claim about the car being easy to control at its limits, as demonstrated by a tire delamination during a drift attempt. Despite minor drawbacks and a high price point, the GTS Sport Turismo is recommended as a great electric car and the pick of the Taycan lineup for those who can afford it.
