Overview
The Porsche Taycan RWD Plus, produced from 2021 to 2024, was the more accessible ticket into Porsche's electrifying four-door coupé experience. Packing the larger 83.7 kWh (usable) Performance Battery Plus, it offered a compelling blend of Porsche's signature driving dynamics with a decent real-world range. While now discontinued, it carved out a niche for those wanting rear-wheel-drive purity and that iconic badge. On the used market, you might find one for around €57,900, making it a tempting proposition for a taste of electric Porsche performance without breaking the bank entirely.
What's New for 2024?
For the 2024 model year, this specific Taycan RWD Plus (built 2021-2024) marked the final iteration of this particular configuration before Porsche rolled out a significantly updated Taycan range later in the year for the 2025 model year. As such, it largely carried over its established features. Buyers of this outgoing 2024 model would benefit from any running software updates to the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system and minor refinements introduced throughout its production lifecycle, ensuring it was as polished as this generation got before its replacement.
Design & Exterior
The Taycan RWD Plus is pure Porsche – low, wide, and undeniably sleek. Its silhouette screams sports car, even with four doors. Up front, those signature four-point LED headlights give it an aggressive stare, while the full-width rear light bar is pure eye-candy at night. This RWD Plus version keeps things clean and classy, riding on stylish alloy wheels, often 19-inch Aero designs as standard. Dimensions wise, it’s a substantial machine at 4963 mm long, 1966 mm wide (mirrors folded), and a low-slung 1394 mm tall, promising a sporty stance.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Inside the Taycan RWD Plus, it's a tech-fest wrapped in typical Porsche quality. You're greeted by a beautifully curved digital driver's display and a central infotainment screen, with an optional passenger display available too. Material quality is top-notch, creating a premium, driver-focused cockpit. It officially seats five, though four is more comfortable for longer journeys. For your luggage, there's a decent 407-litre boot, plus a handy 84-litre frunk under the bonnet. Fold the rear seats, and you'll get around 1200 litres of space for bigger hauls. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are usually standard fare.
Performance & Driving Experience
Don't let the "entry-level" tag fool you; this Taycan RWD Plus is properly quick! With its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor sending 350 kW and 357 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, it’ll zap from 0-100 km/h in a brisk 5.4 seconds. Being rear-wheel drive, it offers that classic Porsche engaging feel, with sharp steering and a planted chassis, especially with the standard adaptive air suspension ironing out bumps. The regenerative braking is smooth and effective, helping you claw back some energy. It’s a driver’s car, through and through.
Range, Battery & Charging
The Taycan RWD Plus is equipped with an 83.7 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of around 396 km – pretty solid for daily driving and decent road trips. Efficiency is rated at 4.73 km/kWh. For charging, its 800-volt architecture is a game-changer. At home, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger will fill it up in about 8-9 hours, with a 22 kW option halving that. Find a powerful DC fast charger, and it can gulp down electrons at up to 268 kW via its CCS Type 2 port, potentially going 5-80% in under 23 minutes!
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
Porsche doesn't skimp on safety, and the Taycan RWD Plus benefits from a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Standard kit typically includes Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning with Brake Assist, and parking sensors. For the full suite of futuristic aids, you'd often dip into the options list for goodies like Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system, and Night Vision Assist. So, while it's safe out of the box, ticking a few boxes makes it even more of a guardian angel on the road.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
In Europe, a new Porsche Taycan typically comes with a 2-year vehicle warranty with unlimited kilometres. Crucially, the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. Unlike some brands, complimentary scheduled maintenance isn't usually part of the deal in Europe. Service intervals are generally every 2 years or 30,000 km. Reliability is strong, as expected from Porsche, but it’s a complex piece of kit, so specialist care is key.
