Our 2027 Porsche Taycan Rating
Pros
Solidifying its position as a leading electric performance sedan. Now features upgraded motors, batteries, and charging capabilities, resulting in a substantial leap forward. Taycan's handling remains impeccable, with a 50/50 weight distribution and air suspension providing a comfortable yet firm ride.
Cons
While range has improved, it remains only average compared to competitors. The vehicle's pricing is also a concern, as it is expensive with or without options. Interior space is somewhat limited, with rear legroom not being overly generous. Low roof can make it difficult to get in and out.
Verdict
A significant evolution in electric vehicle performance and technology. Its rapid acceleration, outstanding handling, and quick-charging capabilities make it a compelling choice for those seeking a high-performance electric sedan. But, its expensive and not the best in its class in terms of the day to day.
Overview
The 2027 Porsche Taycan lineup maintains its status as the definitive electric sports car, an accomplished EV that seamlessly merges the exhilaration of a traditional Porsche with the silent, immediate thrust of electric power. The platform is anchored by the 800-volt architecture, a technological pillar that allows for charging speeds of up to 320 kW, minimizing downtime and maximizing the time spent enjoying the driving experience. What the Taycan does better than any rival is offer an unparalleled range of choice while retaining Porsche's core values of precision handling and premium quality. The ideal buyer is the performance enthusiast who requires a high-tech, zero-emission vehicle for daily use, but refuses to compromise on the soul, responsiveness, and sheer speed of a genuine sports car.
The 2027 Taycan is a simpler lineup than before. The Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo wagons have been discontinued, leaving the Taycan Sedan: the sleek, low-slung four-door that has always been the purest expression of the electric sports car. In exchange, every model now gets the larger 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus as standard, a NACS fast-charging port, and the newer, faster infotainment system shared with the Macan Electric and Cayenne Electric.
The other headline is E-Shift, an optional system that simulates an eight-speed gearbox with steering wheel paddles, shift pauses and a matching soundtrack, for drivers who miss the rhythm of changing gear. With power outputs ranging from the base model's 402 horsepower to the track-ready Turbo GT's 1,019 horsepower, the 2027 Taycan still ensures that whatever the buyer's budget or need, from daily city driving to spirited canyon carving, there is a highly capable and expertly tailored version available.
Every version of the Taycan is fantastic, from the base rear-wheel-drive car to the Turbo S, and the new Turbo GT model set a new benchmark for electric performance.

What's New
The 2027 Porsche Taycan gets the feature Porsche once said it would never build: simulated gears. E-Shift mimics an eight-speed gearbox, with steering wheel paddles, a pause in torque on upshifts, an engine-braking effect on downshifts, and a soundtrack tuned to each model. It is optional across the range and standard on the Turbo GT, and it requires the Sport Chrono Package and Porsche Electric Sport Sound. Using it makes the car slightly slower, so it is there for involvement, not lap times.
The more practical change is the battery. The 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus, previously an option on the lower models, is now standard on every Taycan, and with it comes DC charging at up to 320 kW across the board. A NACS port joins the existing J1772 port on every model except the Turbo GT with Weissach Package. Inside, the Taycan moves to the newer Porsche Communication Management system shared with the Macan Electric and Cayenne Electric, which Porsche says has five times the computing power of the old setup.
The lineup itself gets shorter. The Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo wagons are discontinued for 2027, and the Black Edition models, whose main draw was the bigger battery, are no longer listed. That leaves eight sedans, from the $111,900 Taycan to the $243,700 Turbo GT. Prices are up across the range, most sharply on the Taycan, Taycan 4 and Taycan 4S, which now include the larger battery. At the top, the Turbo GT with Weissach Package can be ordered with a new track-focused Manthey Kit.

Details
The 2027 Porsche Taycan 4 is the all-wheel-drive trim that provides a more affordable entry point to the Taycan lineup. With the larger Performance Battery Plus now standard, it offers 402 horsepower and can achieve 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds with Launch Control.
Porsche says this trim will likely be the Taycan's volume model, and that's probably right. For $4,100 more than the base rear-wheel-drive Taycan, the Taycan 4 has more torque, narrowly better acceleration, and the added security of all-wheel drive.
Short of a tiny "4" badge on the liftgate, it's impossible to tell the 4 apart from the base Taycan. Both come with 19-inch Taycan S Aero wheels, LED headlights, and that same Taycan goodness all around. A few grand extra for all wheel drive.
