Taycan is available in four variants to choose from - Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S.

Taycan Cross Turismo is offered in three variants - 4S, Turbo and Turbo S.

Porsche has only announced the price of the entry-level Taycan sedan, while the prices of the remaining six variants remain undisclosed.

- The Taycan RWD and 4S comes with a 79.2kWh battery pack. The RWD Taycan makes 408hp, while the Taycan 4S, with its dual-motor set-up delivers up to 530hp with overboost activated. The 4S sprints from 0-100kph in a claimed 4.0sec.

- The Turbo and Turbo S are available solely with the 93.4kWh battery pack. The Turbo develops up to 680hp and is claimed to do 0-100kph in 3.2sec. The Turbo S produces up to 761hp and 1050Nm. It is claimed to do the 0-100kph sprint in just 2.8sec.

- The RWD and 4S can also be optioned with the larger 93.4kWh battery.



Standard kit on the Taycan Turbo includes 20-inch alloys, adaptive air suspension that can lower the car by 22mm, Apple CarPlay, a Bose stereo system, matrix LED headlights and dual-zone climate control.

The Turbo S adds 21-inch wheels, upgraded brakes and 18-way electrically adjustable seats.





In terms of equipment, the Taycan gets a configurable 16.8-inch digital instrument panel, a 10.9-inch infotainment screen and an 8.4-inch screen for the climate control below that. A fourth, 10.9-inch touchscreen, for the front passenger can be optioned too.



The entry-level Taycan RWD has a claimed WLTP range of up to 484km. It can be charged at 350kW, with the battery filling up from 5 percent to 80 percent in as little as in 20 minutes. A standard 11kW AC charger takes up to nine hours for the same, while a 50kW DC fast charger accomplishes the task in about 93 minutes.

I am a big, BIG fan of wagons and Taycan Cross Turismo is possibly the most beautiful wagon I have ever laid my eyes on. Better than Buick Regal TourX and Subaru Levorg.

Good pricing by Porsche. It undercuts its sibling Audi e-tron GT by almost 30 lakhs(Base model without options). In Europe, the Taycan turbo is head to head with Audi e-tron GT RS in terms of pricing, so i don't see any reason why people will choose the Audi over Porsche.
The Taycan cross reminds me of the shooting brake editions from Aston Martin. Such beautiful designs.

Where is that 1.70 cr lying around when you need it the most

Taycan Cross Turismo also has off-road mode that adds ground clearance. Best suited for India for those speed bumps.

That's great news. While I don't expect there will a lot of takers, but even by introducing these EV models to India, manufacturers are definitely helping in changing the mindset of the Indian audience and their acceptance of EVs. Still a long road ahead.

On a separate note, did anyone notice the not-so-discreet product placement for Taycan in the recently released Red Notice?

The Taycan is a real alternative to supercars. Still a great badge, mind-numbing acceleration from the higher variants, more practical & Porsche's network. Not only are Porsches generally more useable on a daily basis, but also their reliability is top class (especially from the 2nd - 3rd model year onward).

Will find a lot of takers from people who can easily afford a supercar, but want more practicality with a badge. Performance "electric cars" come with their own bragging rights.

Good time to have 2 crores in your pocket. This, the mighty new S-Class, next-gen Range Rover and perhaps, the Tesla Model S soon.

Porsche Taycan India review: The best driving EV in the world - Autocar India

The Taycan is also the most aerodynamic Porsche yet.

0-100kph takes a claimed 5.4sec, and it will do 200 in around 17.6sec.

A beautiful 16.8-inch piece of frameless curved glass works as the instrument cluster. While there’s no hood to shield it from the sun, the amazing bit is that visibility is always good.

The seating position is low and sporty, but not too low, visibility is excellent and the angle of the steering column is perfect

Porsche’s Taycan is a game changer. An electric car you can genuinely enjoy from behind the wheel, almost as much as any combustion engine-powered car, it represents a big step forward in the evolution of the electric car.

Absolutely Stunning! Time to try this:

Absolutely agree. BTW, the Taycan looks stunning in person than in pictures.

That gentleman happens to be the owner of the Dealership

We got only 2 or 3 allocations for the Turbo, lapped up immediately. The others also got sold-out very fast.

It looks nice but my pick will be the cross-turismo.

I mean no disrespect and I am sure it is the natural way to pose for a car delivery picture. It's a bit like car nuts asking pretty ladies to step aside so they could get a better view of the car :-)
