The all-electric 2026 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is an awesome midsize luxury car with a dash of extra practicality. Maximum range is 277 miles.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Gets pricey in a hurry</li>
<li>Range could be better</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Taycan Cross Turismo offers a choice of drivetrains, each with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. The 4 has 429 hp and, using launch control, will sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in a brisk 4.5 seconds. That all sounds great and more than adequate. However, we’re talking about Porsche here, so there’s always a chance for greater muscle and higher speeds.
Like the 4S, for example, that zaps the 60 mph mark in 3.6 seconds thanks to 590 hp. Then come the Turbo models, which don’t have turbochargers, but we interpret this as Porsche’s way of saying “exceptionally powerful.”
The regular Turbo has a considerable 871 hp and hits 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds. Or the Turbo S shaves 0.2 of a second from that time with its immense 938 hp. All these power figures are the maximum available when using launch control.
As well as speed, the Taycan Cross Turismo is also adept at handling, containing and channeling all the forces created by such energy-rich motors. An adaptive air suspension is standard, with settings stretching from comfortable to sporty. The optional Porsche Active Ride suspension will smooth out bumps as if they didn’t exist and perform the same electrohydraulic magic on body roll, acceleration squat, and braking dive. Rear-wheel steering is also available, and we think it’s well worth the investment because it helps make the Taycan Cross Turismo feel nimbler through the turns and more maneuverable in tight spaces.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The best range of 277 miles is achieved by the entry-level Cross Turismo 4. The 4S manages 272 miles, the Turbo comes in at 265 miles, and the Turbo S manages 261 miles. There aren’t any other all-electric luxury wagons for direct comparison, although the Tesla Model S (with a hatchback) has a maximum of 402 miles. But as we’ve said before and will no doubt say again, no one buys a Porsche Taycan just for its range. We’ve found Porsche’s range estimates translate well to the real world and seem understated at times.
According to Porsche, charging the battery from 10% capacity to 80% takes 18 minutes on a DC fast charger’s highest setting. That compares well with other fast-charging EVs. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for overnight replenishment.

Practical Yet Cool Exterior

Exterior

This Taycan Cross Turismo variant brings a wagon-like practicality (and, dare we say, coolness) to the rear end. It also has SUV-like plastic cladding on the sides, and a maximum ground clearance of 6.9 inches at the standard air suspension’s highest setting. That’s still not a lot for the roads less traveled, but at least there’s a choice between this and the other Taycan variants.
At 16.3 feet, the Taycan Cross Turismo is only about half an inch longer than its sedan stablemate. We review the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo variant separately. We also cover the Taycan sedan in a standalone review.
Porsche endows every Taycan with matrix-design LED headlights and LED taillights, and charging ports are now on both sides, which is wonderfully convenient. The company also offers a broad choice of paint colors, including the option of matching to a customer-supplied sample.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Wireless phone integration 
Cable-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the 2026 Taycan lineup. Apple CarPlay goes deep into the car’s systems. There’s also a cooled wireless charging pad. And an In-Car Video feature allows streaming in the center and front passenger screens.
Porsche Intelligent Range Manager 
A standard feature in the Taycan Cross Turismo is that it will calculate the most energy-efficient route, taking into account factors like real-time traffic and any charging requirements along the way.
Remote Park Assist 
By using a phone app, drivers can control their Taycan Cross Turismo with this optional feature, slotting it into (or out of) parallel or perpendicular parking spaces while standing outside.
InnoDrive 
Otherwise known as Porsche’s adaptive cruise control. It’s linked to the navigation system, taking topography and curves into account, sensing traffic around the vehicle, and keeping the car in its lane. This is optional in the 2026 Taycan Cross Turismo.
Variable Light Control 
Available with the panoramic glass roof, it can darken or lighten the glass electronically.
Plug &amp; Charge 
Plug &amp; Charge means that as you connect to a charger, the system recognizes your Taycan Cross Turismo and uses the credit card information on file for a simple and streamlined process.

Spacious Interior

Interior

We’ve found the Taycan Cross Turismo roomy enough for four adults. It offers a small rear center seat as an option. We’re also impressed by the quality of the cabin materials, the fit and finish, and the combination of luxury and technology. In typical Porsche fashion, this cabin is supremely luxurious with a distinctly sporty character and, in this case, wagon practicality.
The Cross Turismo has a cargo space advantage over its Sport Turismo sibling, with 15.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats (as opposed to 14.3), expanding to 42.8 cubic feet (instead of 41.4) when those seats are folded down. All Taycan bodies have an additional 2.9 cubic feet of stowage under the hood.

KBB Editors' Overview

As long as there are chargers along the way, the Taycan Cross Turismo is a heck of a car to take on a family road trip. It’s stable, comfortable, and confident, and its wagon-like tail adds a practical element. Standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and a slightly raised ride height allow it to handle a dirt road or two.
The Taycan Cross Turismo is a novel variation of the excellent Taycan sedan, bristling with many of the qualities that have made <a href="http://www.kbb.com/porsche/">Porsche</a> the legend it is today. This model launched for the 2021 model year, 12 months after the sedan made its debut. It’s an electric car for driving enthusiasts who also happen to have families and need that extra versatility.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.

Pricing - Static

In the absence of any like-for-like competition, we suggest looking at rivals with hatchbacks instead of trunks, such as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-s/">Tesla Model S</a> or the Audi S6 Sportback e-tron, both beginning far below the Taycan Cross Turismo. Or perhaps the high-luxury <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs/">Mercedes-Benz EQS</a> that also undercuts this Porsche, albeit by a smaller margin.
Before buying a new Taycan Cross Turismo luxury electric car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Taycan resale values are comfortably above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

The battery in the 2026 Taycan Cross Turismo has a gross capacity of 105 kilowatt-hours (kWh) and a usable net capacity of 97 kWh. Clever thermal management allows it to charge at high currents. When using an 800-volt charging station, the rate is 320 kW. To optimize charging speeds on a 400-volt network, Porsche also includes a 150-kW DC/DC converter as standard.
The EPA gives the Taycan Cross Turismo a combined efficiency rating of 77 to 81 MPGe, depending on the configuration. This EV has respectably low fuel costs, but rivals from Tesla, Lucid, and Mercedes-Benz all use electrons more efficiently.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Porsche’s new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. These arrangements are typical among European luxury vehicles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Neither sedan nor Turismo (wagon) versions of the Taycan have been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but an independent European test program (Euro NCAP) gave the car a maximum overall score of five stars.

What's new for

The infotainment system receives some upgrades for 2026, resulting in faster responses and the ability to download third-party apps. Amazon Alexa can also be employed with the voice-activated digital assistant. In addition, the optional Bose and Burmester surround-sound systems gain Dolby Atmos enhancement for a detailed and immersive listening experience.

With a huge and high-tech interior, available hands-free driving, and excellent safety scores, the Chevrolet Traverse is one of the best family haulers in its class.

<ul>
<li>Subpar resale value</li>
<li>Noisy engine</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is powered by a 328-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). We tend to like having an old-fashioned V6 in a vehicle dedicated to hauling lots of people and cargo, but this turbo-4 did just fine when we tested it in real-life family car duty with all three rows occupied. Even when loaded up with passengers, the Traverse never felt underpowered, but the engine did get a bit noisy under hard acceleration.
Ride quality is par for the course in the Chevy Traverse; it rides about as well as anything else in this class. Handling is stable and confident for such a big SUV, and body roll never feels excessive in daily driving duties. The steering feels right, the brakes are adequate, and, overall, it’s a pleasant car to drive. As for its off-road capabilities, we’ve driven the Traverse Z71 off the beaten path and can confirm that its extra ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and standard all-wheel-drive system make it a confident off-roader.
One of our favorite features of the Traverse is Super Cruise (optional on every trim), which allows for almost effortless hands-free driving on more than 750,000 miles of North American highways. It even does automatic lane changes. The Traverse’s comfortable driver’s seat with Super Cruise on and the available Bose audio system delivering your music or podcasts isn’t a bad way to eat up miles on the highway.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Chevy Traverse gets up to 20 city/27 highway/23 combined mpg with front-wheel drive. With all-wheel drive, those ratings drop to 19 city/24 highway/21 combined mpg. These efficiency ratings are ok for a midsize 3-row SUV, but hybrids are getting more popular in this class with offerings like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid/">Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade-hybrid/">Hyundai Palisade Hybrid</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-90-phev/">Mazda CX-90 PHEV</a>.

Stylish Exterior

The Chevy Traverse is boxy while still having a nicely sculpted body with some distinct character lines. Its squared-off look is part of what makes it so roomy inside. We like that there’s some visual variety in the model range, with the RS bringing a sportier look and the Z71 hinting at its off-road capabilities.

Great infotainment system 
With a 17.7-inch display, Google Maps built in, and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay functionality, the Traverse’s infotainment system has just about everything we’re looking for in a modern car’s screen.
Super Cruise 
There are a few hands-free highway driving systems out there, and Super Cruise is one of the best. It allows for eyes-on-the-road, hands-off-the-wheel driving on approximately 750,000 miles of North American highways, and it can even do hands-free lane changes. We love that it’s available on the Traverse.
Standard hands-free liftgate 
Speaking of hands-free, every 2026 Chevy Traverse comes standard with a hands-free power liftgate. This is a strong asset on a family vehicle, and it’s a costly option for most of its competitors.
Rugged Z71 trim 
The Chevy Traverse Z71 has the off-road chops to back up the storied Z71 nameplate made famous on trucks and bigger SUVs. In addition to its macho appearance package, it has a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system, added ground clearance, revised suspension, Terrain mode, and all-terrain tires making it as adventurous as it looks.
Sporty RS trim 
Anyone looking for a sporty look on a practical family hauler will be drawn to the stylish Traverse RS. This SUV’s top trim comes with 22-inch black wheels, unique front and rear fascias, black leather seats with red accents, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
Smart Slide seats 
The Chevy Traverse was designed with families in mind, so it has one of the better systems for getting the second-row seats out of the way for easy third-row access. We’ve tested these seats with child car seats in them, and they work great for loading up the cabin with kids.

Huge Interior

A sizeable 17.7-inch infotainment display is the centerpiece of the Traverse’s interior. This is one of the more user-friendly systems out there, thanks to its Google built-in functionality. Google Maps and Google Assistant come standard, plus you get wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There’s also a customizable 11-inch digital gauge cluster. It’s all very modern and high-tech without ever feeling intimidating.
We’ve tested more than enough midsize 3-row SUVs to confirm that not all third-row seats are created equal. However, the way back of the Chevy Traverse is one of the good ones. Third-row access is fairly easy when the car is equipped with Smart Slide seats. Once you’re back there, third-row accommodations are pretty good, with 32.1 inches of legroom, four cupholders, two USB-C ports, and two air vents. This third row is still more suitable for kids than adults, but it’s one of the roomier and more easily accessible seating arrangements in this class.
Another strength of the Chevy Traverse is its cargo room. There are 22.9 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 56.6 cubic feet behind the second row, and 97.6 cubic feet behind the first row. That puts it up there with the Toyota Grand Highlander and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/atlas/">Volkswagen Atlas</a> as one of the roomiest midsize SUVs available.
All of this to say that the Chevrolet Traverse is one of the most ready and willing midsize SUVs to comfortably carry eight people and a load of groceries with little compromise.

Every midsize <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-3-row-suvs/">3-row SUV</a> claims to be family-friendly, but some fill that role better than others. One of our top recommendations in this class for families who will actually use all three rows of seats on a daily basis is the Chevrolet Traverse. In addition to its adult-friendly space in the third row, the Traverse also has generous cargo space. Add in one of our favorite infotainment systems, available Super Cruise hands-free driving, and variety that includes a rugged Z71 trim and a sporty RS model, and the Chevy Traverse is a family SUV that’s practical, versatile, and, arguably, even cool.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Chevrolet Traverse.

The pricing of the Chevy Traverse is about average compared to the rest of the midsize 3-row SUV class, while having more interior room than most. You’ll notice similar pricing on the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/explorer/">Ford Explorer</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/pilot/">Honda Pilot</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/">Hyundai Palisade</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander/">Toyota Grand Highlander</a>.
Before buying a Traverse, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Chevrolet Traverse resale value is below average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Available hands-free driving</li>

</ul>

<ul>
<li>Two new paint options</li>
<li>Key Card feature</li>
</ul>

Engine and Transmission

The Traverse’s turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft of torque, a meaningful boost over the 310 horses and 266 lb-ft of the previous generation’s V6. That extra torque makes its presence felt when accelerating from a standstill. An 8-speed automatic transmission sends power to the wheels. Average for this class, the Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Chevrolet’s bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for its new vehicles lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These are the usual arrangements for the class. The first service is also free, which isn’t so typical.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Chevy Traverse received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) top overall safety rating of 5-Stars. It also earned the Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Standard driver assistance features are quite comprehensive, including forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and more.

What's New for 2026

The Chevy Traverse carries over to the 2026 model year with minor changes. It introduces two new paint options, Polar White and Sandstone Gray, and a new Key Card feature allowing drivers to lock, unlock, and start the car by tapping a card on a designated spot.

2026Porsche Taycan

2026Porsche Taycan Archives - Kelley Blue Book

sedan

sedan Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Porsche Taycan blends class, spark, poise, and muscle in a highly distinctive way.

The entry-level Taycan has one electric motor driving the rear wheels. It makes 402 horsepower, or a brief 429 hp with launch control. In the sprint from standstill to 60 mph, it will do the dash in just 4.5 seconds. For comparison, the BMW i5 eDrive40 has 335 hp and is slower to 60 mph by about 1.2 seconds.
At the other end of the Taycan’s speedy spectrum is the Turbo S (not that there’s actually a turbocharger under the hood — consider it Porsche’s way of saying “hot”) which makes a massive 938 horsepower in launch mode and will hit 60 mph in a mind-bending 2.3 seconds. Then there&#8217;s the Taycan Turbo GT with 1,019 hp and the ability to hit 60 mph in 2.2 seconds &#8212; or 2.1 with the Weissach Package.
Versions of the Taycan with the Sport Chrono package and the Performance Battery Plus have an overtaking button on the steering wheel, for whenever that extra boost is required.
As with other Porsches, speed is just one aspect of the overall heightened driving experience. There’s also the crispness of response, agility, and control. We’ve found the Taycan to have these typical Porsche qualities. Just that it doesn’t use gasoline.
An adaptive air suspension is standard in every 2026 Taycan, so it can also provide a cushioned ride whenever the conditions or the whim dictates. Or there’s the optional Porsche Active Ride suspension available with all-wheel-drive variants. It smooths out bumps as if they didn’t exist, and will keep the car completely (and uncannily) level through corners, as well as under acceleration and braking.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
Depending on the variant, the Taycan’s maximum ranges span from 252 miles to 318 (this latter figure achieved by the single-motor/rear-drive version with the upgraded 105 kilowatt-hour battery). Most Taycan owners find Porsche’s mileage estimates to be totally achievable — even over-conservative on occasion.
For comparison, the BMW i5 eDrive40 is capable of 295 miles, the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan can run for 308 miles, and the Audi S e-tron GT has a maximum of 300 miles. Other contenders include the Tesla Model S (405 miles) and the Lucid Air, which can run for a phenomenal 512 miles (in Grand Touring trim).
The Taycan is one of the faster-charging electric cars. Porsche says charging a Taycan battery from 10% capacity to 80% at the highest setting takes 18 minutes. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for an overnighter.

Sporty Exterior

Size-wise, the Taycan sedan is the same length as the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan and about three inches shorter than the BMW i5. It’s also noticeably lower than both of those rivals. To our eyes, the Taycan definitely has that special Porsche look that manages to evoke the famed 911 sports car while still being a 4-door car. The Black Edition brings wheels and various exterior accents finished in the same color as a witch’s cat. Or hat.
Porsche has also given the Taycan matrix-design LED headlights and LED taillights, and placed charging ports on both sides — which is extra convenient. The company offers a broad palette of colors, including the option of matching paint to a customer-supplied sample.

Wireless phone integration 
Cable-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the 2026 Taycan lineup. Apple CarPlay allows access to some of the car’s systems. There’s also a cooled wireless charging pad. And an In-Car Video feature allows streaming in the center and front passenger screens.

By using a phone app, drivers can control their Taycan with this optional feature, slotting it into (or out of) parallel or perpendicular parking spaces while standing outside.
InnoDrive 
Otherwise known as Porsche’s adaptive cruise control. It’s linked to the navigation system, taking topography and curves into account, as well as sensing traffic around the vehicle, and keeping the car in its lane. This is optional in the 2026 Taycan.
Variable Light Control 
Available with the panoramic glass roof, it can darken or lighten the glass electronically.
Plug &amp; Charge 
Plug &amp; Charge means that as you connect to a charger, the system recognizes your Taycan and uses the credit card information on file for a simple and streamlined process.

Smart Interior

In its usual form, the 2026 Taycan luxury electric car has well-bolstered, supportive-yet-comfortable seats for four adults. It will take 6-footers in both rows — any taller types will want to sit up front. A little center rear seat is available as an option.
Appropriately for a German luxury car, the Taycan’s interior is full of quality materials, assembled well into a smart design. Technology coexists with cosseting, as high-resolution displays can share space with vegan-friendly simulated leather and simulated suede. Plus the option of seat belts and contrasting stitching all in silver. This year’s Black Edition offers black leather or a black/Slate Grey scheme.
There’s a decent amount of room in the sedan’s trunk: 14.3 cubic feet, more than the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan, less than the BMW i5. All Taycan models have an additional 2.9 cubic feet of stowage under the hood.
The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan-cross-turismo/">Taycan Cross Turismo</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan-sport-turismo/">Taycan GTS Sport Turismo</a> versions have more cargo space. We review each of those variants separately.

We admire how <a href="http://www.kbb.com/porsche/">Porsche</a> is embracing the electric future (the electric now?), yet doing so according to its own terms. For this legendary company, merely putting an electric drivetrain into a car would never be enough. If that car is going to wear the hallowed Porsche badge, it had better look like a Porsche and drive like a Porsche. Which is exactly what the Taycan does — while remaining a midsize luxury all-electric sedan.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Porsche Taycan.

The 2026 Porsche Taycan has a starting sticker price of $106,250, with the range-topping Taycan Turbo GT kicking off at $241,750.

The version with the best range — 318 miles — is the base rear-drive Taycan with the upgraded (105 kilowatt-hour) battery. We’re happy enough to recommend this, although we realize that people don’t buy a Taycan just for its range.
The Taycan sure drives like a Porsche should, but charges a premium for such impressive ability. For comparison, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/2025/">BMW i5</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-s/">Tesla Model S</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqe/">Mercedes-Benz EQE</a> sedan, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lucid/air/">Lucid Air</a> all have lower starting prices. The 670-horsepower <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/s-e-tron-gt/">Audi S e-tron GT</a> is based on the same platform as the Taycan and begins a little below the similarly muscular Taycan GTS.
Before buying a new Taycan luxury electric car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Taycan resale values are comfortably above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The Performance Battery Plus (optional in the lower trims at $5,980, included in the GTS and up) replaces the standard item — which has a gross capacity of 89 kilowatt-hours (kWh) and a net of 82.2 kWh — with a 105-kWh battery whose net capacity is 97 kWh. Adding this to the base model achieves the best range of the lineup.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Porsche’s new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. These arrangements are typical among European luxury vehicles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Taycan has not been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but an independent European test program (Euro NCAP) gave the car a maximum overall score of five stars.

What's new for 2026

The infotainment system is upgraded this year. Responses are faster, users gain the ability to download third-party apps, and Amazon Alexa can be employed as a digital assistant. Optional audio systems from Bose and Burmester have both been enhanced with Dolby Atmos technology. We think a Burmester/Dolby Atmos setup is one of the best systems we’ve heard, as it provides extraordinary detail and clarity.
There’s also a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/porsche-rolls-out-new-taycan-black-editions/">Black Edition available this year</a> for the base Taycan, Taycan 4, and 4S. Predominantly a cosmetics package (no prizes for guessing the main color), it also includes the upgraded battery, puddle lights, 14-way power-adjustable front seats, lane changing assistance, a 360-degree camera setup, and a Bose surround-sound system. Prices differ according to the variant, but budget around $15,000 to $17,000. We’ve often found that adding equipment like this to a regular model ends up being more expensive, so the Black Edition could almost qualify as a bargain as long as you like the color schemes on offer.
The Taycan launched for the 2020 model year and received a mid-cycle refresh last year.
