PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS is presented as the "sweet spot" in the Taycan lineup, offering a compelling blend of performance and luxury, albeit at a significant price point. The reviewer highlights its potent acceleration, capable of sub-4-second 0-100 km/h times, and the engaging driving dynamics characteristic of Porsche. Positives include the refined interior, the addition of a passenger screen (absent in earlier models), and the innovative electrochromatic glass roof. However, the review points out the tight rear seat headroom and legroom, making the wagon variants a more practical choice for families. The reviewer also notes the substantial cost of optional extras, pushing the as-tested price well over $200,000. While acknowledging its performance, the reviewer contrasts its price and acceleration with more affordable Tesla models, concluding that the Taycan GTS appeals primarily to brand loyalists seeking the Porsche experience in an EV. Real-world consumption figures were noted, with a best result of 20.3 km/kWh in warmer conditions, dropping slightly in colder, wetter weather.
