Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video:The Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo is being reviewed. The video is not sponsored, the reviewer paid for the rental.
The reviewer highlights the car's design as particularly appealing from the rear three-quarters view, featuring a continuous light bar and prominent Porsche lettering with contours. The design is recognizable as a Porsche even in the rearview mirror. Some find the front of the car to be reminiscent of a frog.
The car is flat, wide, and long, measuring approximately 5 meters in length and 2.14 meters in width with mirrors, making it wider than a Mercedes E-Class. The reviewer finds this width noticeable on highways.
The car has two charging ports, one on each side. The left port can be opened with a gesture and handles 11 kW charging, upgradable to 22 kW. The right port supports CCS charging and allegedly allows up to 280 kW charging.
The reviewer has found the door handles challenging to use when wet and prefers the traditional door handles found on Mercedes.
Inside, the cockpit is described as clear and well laid out. The driver's display is curved and spans 16.9 inches, effectively covering the entire viewing area. Unlike some vehicles, it prevents the steering wheel from obstructing some areas of the instrument cluster.
The interior materials are considered upgrade-worthy for a car in this price range. For example, the dashboard which appears to be leather, is actually made of plastic. Similarly, the window switches are plastic. The build quality is excellent, with no rattles or vibrations.
The car features two USB-C ports and a 12-volt outlet in the center armrest, with a wireless charging option. The armrest is found to be inconvenient because it falls down and is not held up when opened.
Regarding the driving experience, the reviewer highlights the excellent steering with precise feedback. The base version has a continuous output of 380 horsepower and a peak output of 480 horsepower with launch control. This is viewed as satisfactory but not exceptionally powerful.
The car is relatively quiet inside compared to electric alternatives. The reviewer says the chassis is unique, giving a very stable ride.
The car is claimed to have a WLTP range of 321 kilometers, 330 kilometers is found more likely.
The reviewer has a preference for seeing the loading status of loading stations, as it does not seem very accurate with what is actually there in-person.
The review concludes that this car might be worth considering as a fully electric choice of vehicle.
