Design & Exterior

The Taycan Sport Turismo RWD Plus is a proper looker, rocking that sleek, low-slung Porsche silhouette stretched into a super practical wagon – or "shooting brake" if you're fancy. For 2025, it gets even crisper with redesigned four-point LED headlights (HD Matrix available) and a full-width rear light bar. Its dimensions scream presence: 195.4 inches long, 77.4 inches wide (mirrors tucked), and a low 54.7 inches tall. While not as aggressive as Turbo models, its purposeful stance and flowing lines make it a guaranteed head-turner, especially with those iconic Porsche hips.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the Taycan Sport Turismo RWD Plus, and it’s pure Porsche – premium materials, impeccable build quality, and a driver-focused cockpit that feels like a high-tech command center. The 2025 refresh brings an even slicker curved 12.6-inch digital dash and a 10.9-inch central touchscreen (plus an optional passenger display). With seating for five, the Sport Turismo offers decent rear passenger space. Cargo-wise, you've got a useful 15.8 cubic feet in the trunk, expanding to 42.8 cubic feet with seats down, plus a handy 3.0 cubic foot frunk for your charge cables!

Performance & Driving Experience

This RWD Plus is no slouch, hitting 0-60 mph in a swift 4.6 seconds! Power comes from a potent rear-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) dishing out approximately 429 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of instant torque, all sent to the rear wheels for that classic Porsche push. The 2025 model's standard adaptive air suspension delivers a brilliant blend of comfort for cruising and razor-sharp handling when you want to play. Expect telepathic steering and strong, easily modulated regenerative braking. It's an EV that truly feels alive and engaging on any road.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Taycan Sport Turismo RWD Plus boasts a substantial 97 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 326 miles – perfect for those longer hauls. Efficiency is rated at a solid 3.36 mi/kWh. When it’s time to juice up, the 800V architecture allows for blistering DC fast-charging up to 320 kW, potentially adding significant range in under 20 minutes. For the US market, expect the NACS charge port. Standard AC charging is handled by a 9.6 kW on-board unit, making overnight top-ups a breeze.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Porsche doesn't skimp on safety, and the Taycan Sport Turismo RWD Plus reflects that, boasting a 5-star NHTSA and Euro NCAP rating. For 2025, more ADAS features come as standard, including Active Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, forward collision warning, and parking sensors. You can further bolster your safety net with optional goodies like Porsche InnoDrive, which combines adaptive cruise control with predictive route data, Night Vision Assist, and a surround-view camera system, making every journey more secure and relaxed.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically backs the Taycan with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic vehicle warranty in the US. Critically, the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, usually guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. While Porsche doesn't offer extensive complimentary maintenance like some rivals, the first scheduled service might be included. Thanks to its electric powertrain, routine maintenance needs are generally lower than its combustion-engine cousins, meaning fewer trips to the dealer and more time enjoying that electric punch!
