You probably know Porsche for its high-performance luxury cars, but did you know this German manufacturer also offers an electric option? Unlike electric vehicles based on cars originally built to run on gasoline, the Porsche Taycan was designed from the ground up as an all-electric model. Available in three body types, the Taycan offers the power and precision you’ve come to expect from Porsche. If you’re looking for EV options, head to Porsche Stevens Creek.
EV Options at Your Porsche Dealer: Meet the Taycan
Taycan
The Taycan is a four-door sports sedan with an 800-volt battery pack, a two-speed transmission, and 321 horsepower. This sedan, along with two other versions of the Taycan, has two electric motors. Because there’s no internal combustion engine or exhaust system, the front of this vehicle has a luggage compartment we fondly refer to as the frunk. The frunk has 2.9 cubic feet of storage space, and the rear cargo area has 14.3 cubic feet of space.
But the real reason to love this vehicle is its breathtaking acceleration and its range. Acceleration capabilities vary by trim level, but the Taycan Turbo S can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.4 seconds. And if you’re worried about your electric Taycan not sounding like a sports vehicle, you can add “Electric Sport Sound,” which adds an audio rumble as you accelerate. The Taycan has an EPA-estimated range of up to 208 miles.
Taycan Sport Turismo
The Taycan Sport Turismo blends the power and performance of a sports car with everyday practicality. The roofline of this vehicle gives both the driver and passengers a little more headroom, and a large tailgate makes it easier to access the rear storage area. Compared to the Taycan sedan, there’s also a little more rear storage capacity on the Sport Turismo, with up to 15.8 cubic feet of space available.
The panoramic glass roof, available on all versions of the Taycan, is another appealing feature. It allows natural light into the cabin and opens up the space. The Taycan Sport Turismo has an EPA-estimated range of 233 miles.
Taycan Cross Turismo
Like the Sport Turismo, the Taycan Cross Turismo offers increased storage space and headroom compared to the sports sedan. The Cross Turismo also sits a little higher off the ground than its two Taycan siblings. It comes with standard all-wheel drive, a departure from the Sport Turismo and sports sedan. The Taycan Cross Turismo has an EPA-estimated range of 235 miles.
All three versions of the Taycan come with desirable entertainment amenities like wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto compatibility, built-in navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. These vehicles also offer a host of driver-assistance features, including lane-keeping assist and automated braking.
If you’re interested in an EV, Porsche’s all-electric Taycan vehicles are worth a serious look. When you’re ready to schedule a test drive, head to Porsche Stevens Creek.
