Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo 4S ★★★1/2☆

• Excellent driving dynamics / sporty handling
  Reviewers praise that despite its size and weight, the Taycan Sport Turismo remains very engaging to drive, with crisp steering, strong grip, and a Porsche-like feel.
• Strong performance / instant torque
  The electric drivetrain gives immediate acceleration, and the dual motors (AWD) version delivers robust power for overtaking and spirited driving.
• Fast charging capability
  It supports high DC fast charge rates (depending on battery and region), allowing significant energy top-ups (e.g. 10-80 %) in a relatively short time under the right conditions.
• More practicality than the sedan version
  The Sport Turismo (wagon / estate / shooting brake body style) gives you more flexibility with cargo, better rear headroom or hatch access, compared to the Taycan sedan in many configurations.

• High cost / expensive options
  The base cost is already steep, and many desirable features (adaptive cruise, driver assists, nicer wheels, etc.) are only available as pricey options.
• Real-world range and energy use can disappoint
  Under real driving conditions (especially in cold weather, with loads, or aggressive driving), the range can drop significantly from ideal or advertised values.
• Limited interior / cargo trade-offs
  Some reviewers point out that the interior or boot space isn’t as generous as one might expect for a “practical” model. Rear seat legroom, under-seat foot space, or cargo depth may be constrained.
• Large footprint and weight
  It’s a big car, heavier than many EVs, which can affect maneuverability, parking, and energy efficiency. Also, the size may make driving in tighter urban spaces less convenient.

The 1-Stop Range is calculated using the standardized driving profile and assumptions outlined below.

It represents the total distance covered in two trip stops, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

• Begin with a fully charged battery
• Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
• Perform a 15-minute fast charge
• Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC

📋 Assumptions

• Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
• No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
• The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
• The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition

⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.

The 1-Stop Range represents the distance a vehicle can travel after a single 15-minute charging stop. To highlight the influence of temperature, this range is calculated under three identical weather conditions used in the Real-World Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range in combined conditions is the basis for the ★ star rating, which offers a quick and comparable measure of long-distance suitability across different vehicles. This rating helps drivers immediately see whether a car is practical for extended trips relative to its peers.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

• ☆  0 less than 200 km
• ★ from 200 km to 325 km
• ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
• ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
• ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
• ★★★★★ more than 700 km

Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle.

• Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
• Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
• Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
