2024 Porsche Taycan Models with Prices, Photos, & Specs
Not that long ago, every electric car was hailed as a technological wonder, something so advanced that it forced us to think about “cars” in a completely different manner.. But today there are a lot of electric models on the market, and it takes a lot for an EV to truly be called “advanced” in such a crowded field. But the Porsche Taycan is such a vehicle, an EV that actually behaves like a Porsche, thanks in part to an industry-first two-speed transmission. Not only that, but the EV technology in the Taycan is itself more advanced than the competition, with an 800-volt architecture that allows for 270 kWh charging, the fastest charging speed of any EV on the market today. There is a pretty wide range of configurations and performance levels though, so we put together this guide to help make it all a little clearer.

Taycan
Key Features
- Starting at $90,900 MSRP
- 19" Taycan S Aero Wheels
- 2-Speed Transmission on the Rear Axle
- Rear-wheel drive
At a time when a lot of electric cars are being sold on the strength of their autonomous driving capabilities, Porsche built the Taycan to be fun and engaging to drive. The base trim comes with rear-wheel drive, and is the only trim with this configuration. The two-speed transmission makes sure that you get a responsive experience at any speed, although the Taycan’s 402 horsepower certainly helps when it comes to responsiveness, as evidenced by the 5.1-second 0-60 time. With the standard battery, the Taycan has a range of 208 miles, but with the available Performance Battery Plus, that figure goes up to 282 miles.
Taycan 4S
Key Features
- Starting at $111,700 MSRP
- 19" Taycan S Aero Wheels
- Power Seats (8-way)
- All-wheel drive
With the 4S, Porsche adds all-wheel drive to the list of standard equipment. This comes with a significant bump in power, up to 522 horsepower, and when combined with the extra traction provided by the AWD, the 0-60 drops dramatically to 3.8 seconds. The addition of AWD usually decreases range on electric vehicles, but the difference in range between the Taycan and the Taycan 4S is so minimal that it’s unlikely most people will notice. Range comes in at 206 miles, going up to 272 miles with the Performance Battery Plus.
Taycan GTS
Key Features
- Starting at $139,300 MSRP
- 20" Taycan Turbo S Aero Design Wheels in Satin Black
- Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way) with Comfort Memory
- LED-Matrix Design Headlights
The GTS highlights the performance characteristics of the Taycan, with its unique wheel design, black exterior badging, and unique interior with carbon fiber trim, deviated stitching, and embroidered GTS logos on the headrests. And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper performance trim without some extra power, so the GTS makes 590 horsepower, enough to propel it to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. The Performance Battery Plus is standard on the GTS, which is why you see such a big bump in standard range compared to the 4S.
Taycan Turbo
Key Features
- Starting at $160,800 MSRP
- 20" Taycan Turbo Aero Wheels
- Power Seats (14-way) with Comfort Memory and heated rear seats
- Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) with calipers in white
For Porsche, the word “turbo” denotes a whole new level of performance, and while the rest of the Taycan lineup is mighty quick, the Taycan Turbo is nonetheless a performance beast. With 670 horsepower and AWD, the Turbo hits 60 mph in just 3 seconds flat. Upgraded brakes help reign in all that power, which is something you definitely want with this much power on tap. The standard battery delivers 238 miles of range, going up to 275 miles with the Performance Battery Plus.
Taycan Turbo S
Key Features
- Starting at $194,900 MSRP
- 21" Mission E Design Wheels
- Sport Chrono Package
- Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with calipers in yellow
The ultimate Taycan, the Turbo S pushes performance past the limits of what people previously thought possible with an electric sedan. The Turbo S produces 750 horsepower, enough for a staggering 2.6-second 0-60 time. The Turbo S is also one of the few vehicles on the market that comes with standard ceramic brakes, making for stopping power that is nearly as impressive as the horsepower rating. For all its power, the range on the Turbo S is towards the higher end of the Taycan lineup, thanks in part to a standard heat pump. It comes in at 222 miles, or 278 with the Performance Battery Plus.
Taycan Cross Turismo / Sport Turismo
Not exactly trims, but the Taycan is offered with two alternate body styles in addition to the standard sedan body. These are shooting brake-style wagon bodies that give you a bit more storage space, and better accessibility to that space. The Sport Turismo trim is largely the same as the sedan, just with a hatch in place of a trunk, it is only available in the GTS trim. The Cross Turismo is mostly the same thing, but it has a slightly higher ride height and some lower body cladding, making it more practical for light off-roading. The Cross Turismo is available in most trims, going all the way up to the Turbo S Cross Turismo. Since this version of the Taycan is meant to handle a wider variety of conditions, it is only available with AWD. That means there is no Cross Turismo version of the RWD base Taycan trim, and instead, the Taycan 4 trim serves as the base Cross Turismo trim. In fact, the Cross Turismo is the only available body style for the Taycan 4, which produces 469 horsepower and can hit 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. It comes with a range of 235 miles.
