What Is the 2024 Porsche Taycan?
The Porsche Taycan sedan and Taycan Cross Turismo hatchback blend the German automaker’s knack for expert engineering with full electrification. Whichever body style you choose, the Taycan is speedy. It corners with absolute precision, and it delivers an unflappable ride. The base Taycan sedan is rear-wheel drive, but all other Taycans have all-wheel drive. The range-topping Turbo and Turbo S come with super-performance powertrains, making 670 and 750 horsepower, respectively, when their launch-control modes are activated (both have 616 hp in regular mode). The main drawback to the Taycan is its limited driving range compared with rivals like the Lucid Air, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Tesla Model S.

Should I Buy the 2024 Porsche Taycan?
From its sleek, wind-cheating shape to its mind-boggling acceleration and cutting-edge cabin, the Taycan and Taycan Cross Turismo prove Porsche can work its magic on fully electrified vehicles. Problems arise, however, when comparing the driving range of the Taycan with direct rivals from Tesla and Lucid. And while upper trims like the Turbo S are amazingly quick and snake around curves, they also have starting prices perilously close to $200,000.
