2025 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo

Porsche makes GTS versions of several vehicles. They’re not the hardest-core examples with the most power and the firmest suspensions, but they’re definitely in a sweet spot — on the sporty side with more-than-ample muscle. That describes the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, for the most part. Another crucial aspect, though, is the Turismo treatment, which departs from the regular sedan body by adding a more wagon-like design to the tail.

This is the sibling to the higher-riding Taycan Cross Turismo. Both cars have two electric motors and all-wheel drive. The GTS Sport Turismo is an individual variant (there’s also a GTS Taycan sedan), while the Cross Turismo offers varying levels of power.

We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of luxury electric cars, including the Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo.

The Taycan launched for the 2020 model year, so now’s the time for a midgeneration revamp. This entails revised styling (which we explore in the Exterior section below), plus an updated battery resulting in slightly quicker charging and a decent increase in range, from 233 to 279 miles. This year also sees the Sport Turismo body style come solely in GTS form. Last year’s 4S and Turbo GT variants haven’t made it into 2025.

Even though there are hundreds of choices in the new-car market, there’s nothing else like a Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. Buyers might also be interested in a Taycan Cross Turismo, especially if they’d like less or more power. One possible alternative could be the Mercedes-AMG EQS, which comes with a hatchback and a price similar to this Porsche. Or the hatchback Tesla Model S Plaid can be furiously fast for far fewer Franklins, although we can’t imagine a Porsche aficionado settling for one of those.

Before buying a new Taycan GTS Sport 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.

With a total of 690 hp and 582 lb-ft of torque in launch control mode, the GTS Sport Turismo can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in an entertaining (and perhaps a little scary) 3.1 seconds. This variant also comes with the Sport Chrono package and push-to-pass feature as standard, bringing a brief 93-hp boost for overtaking. In real life, we’ve found this car’s thrust to be immediate and immense. For comparison, the Mercedes-AMG EQS has a maximum of 751 hp, but is slower to 60 mph by 0.3 of a second.

Here’s the thing about the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo — it’s not just a great luxury electric car, it’s also a superb Porsche, a fine example of the company’s expertise from the feel of the steering to the performance of the brakes. The drivetrain contains two motors and all-wheel drive. These motors can also provide torque vectoring for ultra-efficient cornering. Even so, we still say the optional rear-wheel steering feature is worth considering, because it also enhances maneuverability at slow speeds.

Compared with an entry-level Taycan sedan, this GTS model has upgraded brakes and a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension. Buyers might also be tempted to take ride quality and handling to another level entirely with the Porsche Active Ride suspension for extra-fast responses that control body roll, pitch, dive, and squat. We’re always impressed by this incredible engineering feat whenever we encounter it.

If we had a gripe, it’s the feel of the brake pedal. There’s a bit of initial travel where nothing much happens, which can be disconcerting. Beyond that point, though, the brakes are wonderful. We drove a version with the optional carbon ceramic brakes and recommend choosing this (admittedly expensive) extra because the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is so fabulously fast. So it’s more confidence-inspiring to have such effective stoppers under one’s foot.

Range and Charging

The 2025 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo achieves a maximum range of 279 miles. This is with the standard-issue Performance Battery Plus. We’ve found Porsche’s range estimates to be achievable in real-world driving, and perhaps even a little understated. For some kind of context, the Tesla Model S (with a hatchback) has a maximum of 402 miles. The Mercedes-AMG EQS is capable of 315 miles. But a Taycan’s appeal goes far beyond range.

According to Porsche, charging the battery from 10% capacity to 80% takes 18 minutes on a DC fast charger’s highest setting. That’s a couple of minutes quicker than last year, and the Taycan lineup was already among the fastest in this respect. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for overnight replenishment.

A mix of luxury and bespoke Porsche sportiness distinguishes the cabin of the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. For example, there are standard adaptive sport front seats with 18-way power adjustment (they feel ideal), plus a heated GT Sport steering wheel that we think is exactly the right size. Technology makes its presence felt in the 16.8-inch curved display that houses a digital instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the dashboard is topped off by the clock that comes with the standard-issue Sport Chrono package.

In usual Taycan fashion, this version is a 4-seater with two rear seats (a rear center seat is optional) and decent rear legroom. A fixed panoramic roof is also standard.

Cargo space behind the rear seats measures 14.3 cubic feet, expanding to 41.4 cubic feet when those seats are folded down. And all Taycans have an additional 2.9 cubic feet of stowage under the hood.

From the nose to the B-pillars, this GTS Sport Turismo looks like a typical member of the Taycan family. Further back, however, comes the Turismo tail, more along the lines of a hatchback or wagon. We like how this is a non-conformist take on a luxury electric car, offering a blend of performance and practicality. For a bit of extra presence, 20-inch alloy wheels are standard.

This year, Porsche has tweaked the styling of the whole Taycan lineup, adding new matrix-design LED headlights and LED taillights, sleeker front fenders, and new aerodynamic wheel designs. Charging ports are now on both sides, which is extra convenient. A broad choice of paint colors is also on offer, including the option of matching to a customer-supplied sample.

At 16.3 feet, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is only about half an inch longer than its sedan stablemate. We cover the Taycan Cross Turismo and the Taycan sedan in separate reviews.

Wireless phone integration
Cable-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the 2025 Taycan lineup. This year, Apple CarPlay goes even deeper into the car’s systems. There’s also a cooled wireless charging pad. And a new In-Car Video feature allows streaming on the center and front passenger screens.

Porsche Intelligent Range Manager
A new standard feature throughout the whole 2025 Taycan lineup, this will calculate the most energy-efficient route, taking into account factors like real-time traffic and any charging requirements along the way.

Porsche Electric Sport Sound
This might seem a bit cheesy in theory, a manufactured sound meant to simulate the growl and bark of a combustion engine and its exhaust system. In practice, we felt the hairs on the backs of our necks go up as the GTS Sport Turismo zipped past us.

Burmester audio
It’s an option, and isn’t exactly a bargain. But we think this 21-speaker/1,455-watt surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos is about the best, most detailed, most immersive setup you will find in a car.

Variable Light Control
Available with the panoramic glass roof, it can darken or lighten the glass electronically.

Plug & Charge
Plug & Charge means that as you connect to a charger, the system recognizes your Taycan GTS Sport Turismo and uses the credit card information on file for a simple and streamlined process.

A lighter battery goes into the 2025 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, with better thermal management and the ability to charge at higher currents than before. When using an 800-volt charging station, the peak rate is 320 kW, up 50 kW from last year. To optimize charging speeds on a 400-volt network, Porsche also adds a 150 kW DC/DC converter as standard. The Performance Battery Plus also increases in gross capacity from 93 kWh to 105 kWh (97 kWh net)

4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty

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.

Safety Ratings

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.
