Video Summary
The Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo of the 2024 generation features a new battery pack with performance plus, increasing the autonomy for customers. The car has a WLTP range of 610 kilometers. The new battery allows for 284 kilometers of charge in 10 minutes, although this claim needs verification. An increase in charging performance could attract a new clientele. There are no financial or fiscal incentives to own electric vehicles in Switzerland. For that country, buying electric is a personal choice.The new generation's autonomy is what people have been looking for, equating to a gas vehicle's range. The design has subtle yet detailed changes from previous models. Option packages that have an additional cost are black aluminum roof rails, HD Matrix LED projectors at 2274 euros, and wheel arch design.
Additional features noted in the interior of the car include a leather-bound interior that lists at 3618 euros, heated rear seats, 4-zone climate control, USB-C outlets, central armrest, and two cup holders. The instrument panel is a 16.8-inch customizable digital display screen. The information screen is 10.9 inches and displays items such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Porsche InnoDrive manages speed and climate control, so that the Taycan has less consumption on long trips. Additionally, in order to optimize the dynamic handling in curves, the review mentions the Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). In Switzerland, where there is high-speed traffic in the mountainous region, the Active Ride helps to lessen the feeling of the vehicle's weight, while maintaining a connection to a 911.
The 2.3-ton all-wheel-drive Taycan has 598 horsepower, 710 Newton-meters of torque, and two gear ratios on the rear axle. The acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour is at 3.8 seconds. The 80 to 120 acceleration is at 2.1 seconds, which is compared to that of hypercars from the early 2000s, such as Ferrari Enzos. The top speed is 240 kilometers per hour. With the increased battery pack, the electricity consumption has decreased while the car maintains a very good chassis. This Taycan has rear-wheel steering at a rate of 2.8 degrees. The test car reached these measurements during a two-day excursion on main roads, as well as secondary roads with significant elevation.
