It seems to me that the Taycan 4 CT does pretty much everything nearly as well as the Turbo we had in Europe. The suspension / braking options made more of a difference in everyday driving than the acceleration boost. Would you pony up the extra $ to spec a 4S or higher trim? Or just go with the nearly perfect base car with good suspension options, and forego the insane acceleration.

I would get the 4, upgrade the wheels. More power wont likely get used and the $$$ difference isn't worth it. Since it's a daily driver this will do more than almost any other car. Plus you get the option to drive it like a sports car at times. I look at this like the Audi A4 Allroad versus the RS6. I daily drive the Allroad and with APR tune its a perfect daily. Plus I get 35mpg on highway and in dynamic mode I can drive backroads very spirited.

This is really the dilemma. Especially in the CT range since they all come with the other base goodies like the bigger battery, all wheel drive and air suspension. I know when I was building my CT4 I was dancing around the 4S model but ultimately couldn't justify the silly cost increase for straight line performance. Like you I've had a performance model S, and after the initial novelty, you really just want a solid daily with the right creature comforts. Plus, the CT4 in the end is still no slouch.

You dont need anything quicker than 5 seconds unless you are racing your car for youtube views. What I really want if we are talking speed and power, is the ability to pass someone on the interstate. That 40-80 mph burst is more important to me. That's what gets you out of dangerous situations.

Maybe I drive a bit hard then, I would feel it instantly, and at least in 10-20% of my everyday driving. If I have an acceleration to do, I let all of those sweet horses out. And they do enjoy themselves. An believe me it's far from just straight line, and traffic light battles. It's just so much more agile when you got all that power readily available. I would not buy anything below 4S. But at the same time turbo S is not worth all that extra money over the Turbo. Both have the same amount of HP while driving, and you cannot tell the difference without launching them. But from the base to the turbo there's a huge gap, and you feel that extra power all the time. But if you're in "driving ms. Daisy" mode, and try to not spill any coffee from a full cup of coffee with no lid on, then sure. They feel 99% the same.

Even without all these expensive gadgets, a base Taycan model still is lightyears better to drive than an akward looking Model 3 or Y! It steers, drives and brakes like a true Porsche, even without rear wheel steering. By the way: the current "Cannonball EV record holder" is the Taycan 4S, which shows that even in the USA, where Tesla still has an advantage with much more Superchargers, the Porsche Taycan is as good or even quicker as the Tesla models at a long distances. With Porsche 800 volt charging technology and up to 270 kW of charging power, the Taycan models are unbeatable when it comes to DC fastcharging. Here in Germany, it's absolutely no disadvantage at all, that you can't use Tesla Superchargers as a Porsche customer. The DC charging networks here in Germany are growing fast and every DC fast charger has quicker charging times than the fastest Tesla Supercharger. In my eyes charging another 100 kilometers of range in just 5 minutes charging time with the Taycan 4 is more important, than having more range capability with a Tesla. Which 99% of EV customers won't need at all for their daily driving. Porsche Taycan charging technology at the end is faster, even at longer distances! Therefore charging the Porsche Taycan regularly at DC fast chargers won't be the most important thing for 99% of its customers too, who will charge their Porsche Taycan at the wallbox charger at home in the garage, over night and every day, with a maximum charging time from 0-100% in just 4.5 hours with the optional Porsche 22 kW wallbox.

Lexie at 13:15 is holding her stomach and forcing a smile while she searches the floor for a used Walgreen's plastic bag. I think the car is fast enough. :)

The problem is not the number, the problem is that its a slow Porsche. Note that that number is to 60 it gets progressively slower after that. A Porsche with a 14 second 1/4 is a true suck.

Would you rather have a model S or Taycan if you would be buying a car for 100k or 130k (Model S long range vs Taycan 4 and Model S plaid vs Taycan 4S)?

I know you've repeatedly stated it, but when spec'ing a CT for order, I was really surprised at the $$$ difference between the CT, CT4S, Turbo, and S. Of course I'd love a Turbo, and I could, in theory, afford it. There's a 991.1 Turbo S in the garage. But a nicely equipped CT is actually $125k, a 4S $150k, a Turbo $185k, and the Turbo S $209k. 95% of the configuration is exactly the same except the acceleration, slightly the range, and whether the fender flares are gloss or matte. It's REALLY hard to justify $35k for the extra acceleration and glossy flares of the Turbo. I couldn't.

Not just speed cameras, from what I hear.

I think it boils down to one thing. People who really don't care that much about acceleration, and people who do. Biggest reason to get a Porsche should always be epic handling performance. So for that reason you should always get the driving bits first. And even though the Taycan is pretty sharp to begin with, I think it's such a better drivers car with PDCC. So I would get that even on a 4 I think. Now, I am one of those into acceleration, so I would neven settle in with a base model Taycan. That would feel way too slow for what I'm used to, and expect from my car. I would need a few years to get used to a car with 0-60 in about 5 seconds. I know that's fast in 2010-2015 terms, but you got to remember that it's for the most part all about the G-forces and not the time it takes to get up to speed, and ICE cars that are doing 0-60 in 5 seconds will feel far quicker, because they will pull a lot harder when they pull. EVs pull in a very linear way. So for people into acceleration the CT 4 will not be suffisient. For people not into acceleration, it will be more than capable of what they need it to be. Overtaking should be no problem. And it will probable be faster than what they used to drive.

I started saving now and in about 10years i will buy the 2031 model Taycan hell yeah!

This is definitely the only Taycan I'll consider buying, and I'm leaning towards getting it (the CT4); my limit is breaking the $100k barrier... One thing that nobody including you (Kyle) brings up is how much better the rear-window visibility is with the CT vs. the Taycan sedan. The rear-window view out the Taycan is very poor, and it seems to me from these videos that you have 50-100% more visibility out the rear window in the CT.

Much more important for all these fucking heavy EVs is having driving capabilities despite all this weight. Which the Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo certainly has, because it's a Porsche! It drives, steers and brakes like a Porsche, whereas Teslas are just like batteries on wheels, with just one-trick-pony acceleration capability (until overheating the battery after only short Autobahn runs, like here in Germany...), paired with the shittiest build quality in the industry... But this is nothing new from Tesla.

4S Cross Tourismo is the sweet spot of the range for me or if you prefer a tarmac only version then the GTS Tourismo 🚙👍🏻

I do really like the Cross Turismo and have spent way too many hours on the configurator trying to determine the minimum spec I could deal with. For the price, it does seem like the 4 should offer the same power/acceleration as the 4S currently does. It also bugs me that for such a long and wide car, the interior room (both passenger and cargo capacity) is slightly worse than some compact crossovers. And to both of those points, I am really curious to see the pricing and specs on the Macan EV when its released. I can't see the "S" version of that being slower than this car, and I can't imagine that it'll have a starting price too far above the current gas version. If it has the same fast charging as this, with likely more range I think it will be hard to justify the CT4 just to get slightly better handling. Makes me wonder if the facelift version of this car will be upgraded in terms of range/performance to give it some breathing room with the Macan EV. TL;DR I think it's worth waiting for the Macan EV and then deciding which to buy.

But, like you, I'm planning to wait for the Macan BEV before deciding on that vs. the CT4; there are still too many bugs in the current Taycans that need ironing out by Porsche for me to invest that kind of money in their all-too-new BEV offerings.

"... the interior room is slightly worse than some compact crossovers". Well, this is a PORSCHE... man! What do you expect from the Taycan? Having the most interior space, as a Porsche? You buy a Porsche Taycan because of its driving capabilities, because of its styling and shape, but not because of its interior space in first place. The interior space in the Cross Turismo is totally acceptable and much better than in the "normal" Taycan version. Why do you complain? You just can't have it all with a Porsche Taycan, because it's still a sports car or a very sporty electric GT.

I had a turbo for one day: serious passes, highway and city drive was on the menu. Although on paper everything is good (and every single bit of the car is simply great) I was disappointed. A car to me has to give me as linear response as possible. On the mountains, not having the possibility to lock one of the two gears didn't gave me the confidence to know which one was engaged and the power delivery was suffering of this discontinuity. In city driving the "fine tuinig" is missing so the usual stop and go was not nice at all In the highway... well highways are just boring I had the chance to drive it on a track and it's more than great but... if I go for a track obviously I would choose something else than such a panzer. At the end of the day I was happy to go back to my "simple" (and modded) M3P. Nearly there. Porsche is nearly there. If they fix those things I would definitively consider

👍👍😎✌️

That poor girl wasn't having any of it

I just think that it cost too much and doesn’t offer enough at its price. The Chevy Bolt offers more range for $60,000 less. I think that all of the Taycan’s are over priced for what they offer.

Lexie didn’t enjoy the drive. She was more distraction to watch almost breaking her neck than help. Let her do what she does and you do what you do, providing us fantastic driving reviews 🙏🏻👏🏻

If you were driving seriously: 1) you would use both hands on the wheel and 2) you would be WAY above the State speed limit and 3) the girlie would be either A) totally in awe of your skills or B) screaming for it to end.

i get it, you have to have some female speed reaction videos, they get clicks, etc. but i don't think Lexie has the stomach for this!

Aika makee 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎

One Porsche related question! Is Lexie single? ;) Great video, per usual.

Porsche and Lucid have the sexiest EVs, HANDS DOWN

Flashing because cops

Question, Why didn't you let the nice lady drive the car 🙄 .....

OK. So you do a good POV, thanks. Not that interested in camera views of seeing you talk. Am interested in seeing someone sit in the rear. We didn't need the friend in the pic, she could have sat in the rear so we could see packaging of this car. The camera angles could have been changed half way thru to provide another POV. Thanks. Too bad this car doesn't come in "estate guise" without the stupid plastic cladding. Clean Taycan for me.

Crazy you going to write the thing off ..NOT GOOD ..go to the track

Isn't Lexi your girlfriend?

@@abraxastulammo9940 , everything in EVs is bad for environment. From elements needed to produce batteries and other components to recharging. Absolute destruction of Earth to dig out copper, consuming huge quantities of water for production of lithium.... just to name a few. And recharging....from river dams that are stopping natural flow of life to destruction of natural habitats of wildlife and humans,to other means of production. And all those materials are in poor countries...they are going to be even more poor, expect overturned governments, assassinations,bribe, corruption.....and none of these companies are innocent.

Most people won't buy this for long road trips, but rather for local driving where you only charge at home... So range simply doesn't matter for 99% of BEV drivers for 99% of the time...

Taycan 4 does have WLTP range of 456 km (280 Mi), That s good enough range.

That wheel is a new kind of ugly

Our host states he “loves fast wagons” yet clearly 1) he has no idea this is clearly modelled after decades of successful Audi All-Road and other S4 fast wagons as he never mentions it cause he has no history/knowledge of global success of those vehicles which are sister company of Porsche. And b) this is not the same as hardware as the Taycan the suspension is different enough. How can such a good reviewer make poor mistakes like this? Because he focuses only on cars mostly available in the USA market or are available also in the USA but still no excuse.

That is one ugly looking motor. Sorry Porsche you seem to be going backwards.

My neighbour has a Model 3 performance. I wouldn't swap it for my Audi S3 (hatch). The rear seats are uncomfortable due to the battery and build quality/finish is a little 'rural'. The Porsche is SO much better and to my eyes much better looking. The Tesla S is the only Tesla that doesn't look like it's melted IMHO. 😁👍🏻

Cross doesn’t mean a thing except the extra ugliness, crossing the bumps in USA roads maybe!

If you take that Porsche badge away then it will be one unattractive Toyota Camry wagon!
