What's New for 2024?

For the 2024 model year, the Taycan Sport Turismo 4S was essentially a carryover model, marking the final year of its production run before a significant Taycan range update. Porsche didn't roll out major changes for this specific trim as it was being phased out. This means you're getting the proven package that enthusiasts came to love – blistering pace and that sought-after shooting brake style – without any last-minute surprises. It’s the swan song of a cracking variant before the new Taycan generation hit the scene later in the year.

Design & Exterior

Phwoar! The Taycan Sport Turismo 4S is a proper looker, with that sleek, low-slung Porsche silhouette stretched into a gorgeous wagon shape. It’s got the signature four-point LED headlights and a full-width rear light bar that screams Porsche. The 4S trim boasts sporty design cues and specific wheel options. Measuring 195.4 inches long, 77.4 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and a mere 54.7 inches tall, it has an athletic stance that’s both elegant and aggressive. It’s less shouty than some rivals but oozes autobahn-ready confidence.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, it’s pure Porsche quality with a futuristic twist. The cabin of the Taycan Sport Turismo 4S is beautifully crafted, featuring premium materials and a driver-focused cockpit with multiple crystal-clear screens, including a curved digital instrument cluster and central infotainment display; Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Passenger space is decent for five, and cargo is where this wagon shines: you get a useful 15.8 cubic feet in the trunk, expanding to a generous 42.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, plus a handy 3.0 cubic-foot frunk upfront!

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The Taycan Sport Turismo 4S, with its dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (one front, one rear), delivers exhilarating all-wheel-drive performance. It packs a punch with 390 kW (around 523 hp) and 472 lb-ft of torque, rocketing you from 0-60 mph in a blistering 3.8 seconds. The driving experience is pure Porsche: incredibly agile, confidence-inspiring handling, and a surprisingly comfortable ride thanks to its adaptive air suspension. Braking is mega, with effective regenerative modes to claw back some energy. It’s a properly sorted driver’s car!

Range, Battery & Charging

The Taycan Sport Turismo 4S is equipped with a 71 kWh usable battery pack, delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 217 miles. Energy consumption is rated at 3.06 mi/kWh. Thanks to its 800-volt architecture, DC fast charging is rapid, hitting up to 223 kW, meaning 5-80% can be achieved in about 22 minutes under ideal conditions. For home charging, the standard 9.6 kW on-board AC charger can replenish the battery overnight. US models typically feature a CCS Type 1 charge port.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Porsche doesn't skimp on safety, and the Taycan platform has earned top marks, including a 5-star NHTSA rating. The Sport Turismo 4S comes equipped with essential safety tech like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and parking sensors. While some advanced driver-assistance systems such as Porsche’s InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring are often on the options list, the core safety provision is robust, ensuring peace of mind alongside the electrifying performance.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically offers a 4-year/50,000-mile basic new vehicle warranty for the Taycan in the US. Crucially, the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, safeguarding against excessive degradation. The powertrain warranty usually aligns with the basic vehicle coverage. While Porsche sometimes includes the first scheduled maintenance, ongoing costs are typical for a high-performance luxury brand. Reliability for the Taycan range has generally been strong, reflecting Porsche's engineering prowess, but always check a specific used model's history.
