Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Taycan GTS wraps you in a sporty yet luxurious cockpit, dripping with Race-Tex and dark-themed accents. It comfortably seats five, though four is optimal for longer jaunts. Porsche’s slick, curved digital driver’s display and central infotainment screen dominate the dash, now with optimised software, enhanced Apple CarPlay, and even in-car video streaming. For your luggage, there's a 366-litre boot at the back and a handy 84-litre frunk up front, perfect for charging cables or a weekend bag. Quality is, as you’d expect from Porsche, absolutely top-notch.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The Taycan GTS catapults from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 3.3 seconds, rushing towards a top speed of 250 km/h. This urgency comes from its dual permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) – one front, one rear – delivering 515 kW and 790 Nm via its all-wheel-drive system. The driving experience is pure Porsche: incredibly agile, precise steering, and a brilliant blend of ride comfort from its adaptive air suspension. Regenerative braking is super effective, making one-pedal driving easy. It’s an EV that genuinely thrills.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Taycan GTS packs a 97 kWh (usable) battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range estimate of around 515 km – plenty for serious road trips. Its efficiency is rated at 5.31 km/kWh. Thanks to its 800V architecture, DC fast charging is mega, peaking at 320 kW, meaning a 10-80% top-up can be done in under 20 minutes. For AC charging via its CCS Type 2 port, it comes with an 11 kW on-board charger as standard, with a 22 kW unit optional for faster home top-ups.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Porsche doesn't skimp on safety. The Taycan boasts a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, giving you peace of mind. The 2025 GTS comes loaded with a suite of standard driver-assistance systems, including enhanced Active Lane Keeping, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Lane Change Assist.

It’s all designed to make your drive safer and more relaxed, whether on the autobahn or navigating city streets.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically backs the Taycan GTS in Europe with a 2-year, unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty, which is a bit stingy compared to some, but common for premium German brands. The crucial high-voltage battery is covered for a more reassuring 8 years or 160,000 kilometres, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. Powertrain components are covered under the main vehicle warranty. Maintenance intervals are generally condition-based, and while Porsche servicing isn't cheap, reliability for the Taycan has been strong, making it a surprisingly sensible super-EV.
