2021 Porsche Taycan (overview)

The 2021 Porsche Taycan (pronounced tie-kahn) is a truly innovative electric vehicle, showcasing the high-performance potential of the species. As the first production EV with an 800-volt architecture and a multispeed transaxle, it sets new benchmarks in charging speeds and acceleration times. In fact, the top-of-the-line 750-hp Turbo S is among the quickest cars we've ever tested, even tying hypercars like the $1.7 million, 1000-hp Bugatti Veyron 16.4 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. This EV also has stamina, with the ability to make multiple high-speed runs without a significant loss in performance. Sure, the four-door sedan has a much shorter estimated driving range than its primary rival, the Tesla Model S, and all-wheel-drive versions cost at least six figures at present. But the Taycan drives like a Porsche sports car and exhilarates in ways few electric models have done before.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Most Taycan models feature dual electric motors, with one powering the front wheels and the other powering the rears. They produce separate outputs that vary by trim level. The 4S generates up to 522 horsepower with the standard 79.2-kWh battery and up to 562 horses with the optional 93.4-kWh pack. The latter comes standard on the top models, the 670-hp Turbo and the 750-hp Turbo S. The base model is rear-wheel-drive only, but it can be paired with either battery size. Its single electric motor generates up to 402 hp with the smaller battery and up to 469 hp with the bigger one. All Taycan models also have an innovative two-speed transmission that provides a thrilling shift during hard acceleration. While all three variants feature all-wheel drive and an innovative two-speed transmission that provides a thrilling shift during hard acceleration, a rear-drive model will eventually join the lineup.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

The Taycan's driving range is unremarkable compared with that of the Tesla Model S, which can crest 400 miles on a charge. The Turbo S is currently rated at 192 miles; the Turbo, at 201 miles; and the 4S Performance Battery Plus, at 203 miles. Every model features an 800-volt architecture that allows a charging capacity of up to 270 kilowatts. Models with the 93.4-kWh battery can go from a 5 percent charge to 80 percent in about 23 minutes. However, 800-volt DC fast chargers are rare, and peak charging rates aren't very informative, as we examined in a comparison test. The more common 400-volt DC fast chargers provide 50 kilowatts, which can charge the battery from 5 to 80 percent in 93 minutes. Opting for the available 150-kW onboard charger does reduce that time. Porsche says charging the Taycan's largest battery from fully drained to 100 percent at home with the standard 9.6-kW AC charger will require 10.5 hours.

2021 porsche taycan interior.

Inside the sleek-looking Taycan is a tech-laden environment. The design is ostensibly simple. As expected, the interior can be covered in a range of rich materials and different color schemes. There's a long list of luxury options, including four-zone climate control, massaging front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats. The Taycan comes standard with 2+2 seating, but there's an option to add a third spot in the back if desired.
