2023 Porsche Taycan Review

Name: 2023 Porsche Taycan
Brand: Porsche

Price Range: $68,990 - $89,990

The 2023 Taycan represents Porsche's foray into the electric vehicle space, and it does not disappoint. The Taycan is a technological masterpiece that manages to deliver incredible comfort and effortless driving one moment and then, with the twist of a knob, world-beating performance the next. How one car can do both so well is a little baffling.

But all that technology and capability comes at a high price. The Taycan is not cheap, and we found some of Porsche's touchscreen tech to be needlessly complicated — Luddites, steer clear.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Ryan ZumMallen

11/28/2022

Porsche's Taycan was the company's first fully electric vehicle when it debuted for the 2020 model year, and it was clear from the get-go that the company had done its homework. This wasn't some sort of half-baked release. Rather, the Taycan was everything we expected from the brand: athletic, comfortable and highly customizable. It's so good that you might have a hard time deciding between the legendary 911 or a Taycan.

The Taycan also receives a few updates for 2023. Porsche says it has given the touchscreen a new menu layout, and we hope that this makes it a little easier to use than in prior models. Wireless connectivity for Android Auto smartphone integration is new too. Porsche has also tinkered with the way the car utilizes its battery pack and mechanical hardware to slightly increase range and efficiency.

The Taycan is also capable of super-speedy DC fast charging, which makes long drives even more viable. For 2023, Porsche says the Taycan can precondition its battery more quickly for maximum DC fast charging, resulting in slightly quicker recharging times if you're connected to a high-powered station.

Granted, the Taycan isn't the most practical EV available. For superior room or comfort, you might want to look at the BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQS or Tesla Model S. But for a high-performing EV, the 2023 Porsche Taycan is hugely impressive. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below for our complete report on its Edmunds-tested real-world range, performance and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.2

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Porsche Taycan on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

9/10

How does the Taycan drive? We expected a lot from the Taycan, and in common Porsche fashion, it overdelivers. We thought it'd be quick and it is. At Edmunds' test track, our 4S test car ripped from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Did we mention this car weighs over 5,100 pounds? That's as much as a Ford F-150.

You wouldn't know it from the way it goes around corners either. There's the effortless balance and ease of a rear-wheel-drive sports car, but with ridiculous amounts of traction and thrust exiting corners. It kind of feels like cheating. The brakes feel and perform amazingly, offering ample stopping power and none of the artificialness that's common among today's EVs and hybrids. The Taycan does casual cruising well too, with the exception of its lack of automatic regenerative braking. Some EVs provide enough regen when you lift off the accelerator that you often don't need to touch the brake pedal. Not so in the Taycan.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Taycan? The seating is cushy but not enveloping, but only the sport seats provide the lateral support needed for any dynamic driving. Still, we managed 9.5 hours behind the wheel in a day without feeling completely beat-up, so that says a lot. The rear seats aren't nearly as good, with their overly prominent lumbar support, tight toe room and a slightly elevated floor height.

Ride comfort, on the other hand, is impressive. Given how much the Taycan weighs and how well it handles, the ride is incredibly well composed. It's complemented by a very quiet cabin. And it's not just the absence of engine noise that's impressive, but also the car's insulation from outside noise in general.

The single biggest miss here is an overcomplicated climate control system, particularly the virtual vent controls. There's a bit of a lag time when you adjust the vent position, and it's quite distracting if you're on the go. If the AC system wasn't so effective in its auto mode, this would be a bigger issue.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Taycan's touchscreen interface is pretty good but not perfect. The lower touchscreen controls the climate settings but can also be used to navigate the upper touchscreen through its virtual touchpad and shortcut buttons. Like other touchscreens, the Taycan's is prone to smudges, though thankfully they only are noticeable when the system is off. If you're not open to taking some time to learn new things, you'll probably hate this interface.

When it comes to getting in and out, the Taycan is more like a sports car than a sedan, especially if the air suspension isn't raised to its friendliest setting. Once inside, there's lots of space up front, but the rear seat is small for a car this long, and the lack of toe space under the front seats makes it feel more cramped. Rear passengers should watch their heads as the swoopy roofline runs pretty low.

Even though the rear window is pretty narrow, rearward visibility is perfectly fine. And it's even better out front thanks to the thin windshield pillars. The door-mounted mirrors ensure objects don't get obscured when you're turning. The worst part of visibility is the reverse camera and its wide, distorted fish-eye lens perspective.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The optional Bose surround-sound system delivers punchy sound with impressive clarity, even when cranked up to irresponsible volumes. The nav system is easy to learn on the fly and has the ability to display various map views within the gauge cluster even when Apple CarPlay is active. CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration come standard. A wireless charger and four USB-C charging ports are also included.

Our pricey test vehicle was missing a lot of common driving aids including adaptive cruise control, and the ones it had were a little overbearing at times. The optional surround-view camera didn't operate for an entire week, but when it did finally right itself, it worked seamlessly with the parking assist sensors. The reverse camera picture looks like a fish-eye lens, and while you can see a lot of what's behind you, the skewed image makes it difficult to gauge proximity to things.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The rear trunk space, at 14.3 cubic feet, is a bit small for how large the Taycan is, and boxes will need to be pushed in farther than you think to clear the slope of the trunklid. There's underfloor storage that helps, and the rear seats split 60/40 and fold down flat, lending some needed cargo flexibility. The front trunk offers an additional 2.8 cubic feet of storage and can fit a small roller bag.

There's slightly better interior storage than what most luxury sedans provide. The armrest bin is pretty modest, but a cubby beneath the lower touchscreen can store things such as sunglasses, face masks or even a small purse. The door pockets will hold a couple of water bottles, but the glovebox won't hold much beyond the owner's manual.

Car seat anchors are easy to locate, though the tilt of the rear seat bottom is steep, so proper adjustment of your child safety seat's base might be tricky. A rear-facing seat will be a bit of a squeeze behind most front occupants.

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: the following information is based on our testing of a 2021 Taycan 4S. Newer models might have slightly different estimates, but our general takeways still apply.] The EPA estimates 4S with the standard battery has a range of 199 miles with a consumption of 42 kWh/100 miles, which is the EV equivalent of a gas guzzler. By comparison the other "thirstiest" EVs include the Audi e-tron (46 kWh/100 miles), Tesla Model X Performance on 22-inch wheels (43 kWh/100 miles) and Jaguar I-Pace (44 kWh/100 miles).

But in Edmunds' testing, we experienced significantly better range and consumption while driving the Taycan using settings that a typical owner would. (The EPA mandates the use of default settings for its testing.) We observed 323.3 miles of range with a consumption of 32.3 kWh/100 miles. Note that, unlike a regular car's mpg number, improved efficiency comes from a lower kWh/mile consumption figure, not a higher one.

Value

8/10

Is the Taycan a good value? Most EVs these days don't come cheap, but the Taycan is like shopping in the boutique vitamin aisle at Whole Foods instead of CVS. That said, no Taycan owner will have to worry about questionable build quality or glitchy firmware updates. And beyond the software and electronics, Porsche has a way with interiors and the tactile feel of switches and buttons, or at least the few of them that haven't migrated to the touchscreen menus.

Warranty coverage and roadside assistance for Taycan are pretty standard for the luxury class. But an onboard charger and 240-volt charge cord, assuming you have a simple matching socket installed, can save you from purchasing an entire home charging station. You'll also benefit from three years of charging at Electrify America stations, where your first 30 minutes of each visit are free (sufficient for charging to 80% battery capacity in the right conditions).

Wildcard

9.5/10

There was never any doubt the Taycan would be a performer, and even the base-model 4S offers plenty of thrills. Speed can be accessed anywhere, but that's expected of any luxury EV. Instead, the Taycan impresses with its composure and the sensation it delivers behind the wheel. It supplies what you'd want of any high-performance sedan when you press it, but the rest of the time it's simply an exceptionally comfortable car.

And EV or not, the Taycan is a great-looking vehicle. The shape is instantly familiar as a Porsche yet special at the same time. Porsche's first production EV aims to wow, and wow it does.

2023 Porsche Taycan trim level differences

Porsche sells the Taycan as a sedan and as a wagon that Porsche calls the Cross Turismo. There's also the Sport Turismo, which is essentially a Cross Turismo but with a lower ride height. From there you'll have to pick from a trim lineup of Base, 4S, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S. For the sedan, the base Taycan and 4S are equipped with a 79-kWh battery pack and can be optioned with a 93-kWh Performance Battery Plus upgrade that comes on other models. The base model has a single electric motor giving the Taycan rear-wheel drive, while all other trims have a second motor that enables all-wheel drive. All Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo models feature dual electric motors, all-wheel drive and the 93-kWh battery. Read more to get our breakdown of the Taycan's power and standard and optional features.

Which Taycan trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the midlevel 4S provides the right mix of sportiness and comfort at a reasonable price, especially if you spring for the optional Performance Battery Plus package with a larger battery capacity.
