THE PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S IS A 560HP, LONG RANGE, ELECTRIC SUPER SEDAN - ONE TAKE

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S is presented as the more "reasonable" yet still exceptionally capable electric sedan from Porsche. The reviewer highlights its "bonkers performance stats" with a claimed 562 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque when equipped with the optional 93 kWh "performance battery plus." The vehicle's handling is lauded, particularly its ability to maintain composure through corners even with eco-focused tires, and the low center of gravity contributes to its dynamic prowess. A significant positive is the accessible performance, which remains consistent regardless of battery charge level, unlike some competitors. The reviewer also notes the unique "space Jetsons noises" as a distinctive and appealing characteristic. On the downside, the Taycan 4S lacks one-pedal driving capability, a feature found in Teslas, and the reviewer found it challenging to maintain reasonable highway speeds due to the car's refinement and quietness, with a comfortable cruising speed often exceeding posted limits. The base price of $110,000 is considered a strong value proposition compared to higher trims.
