2022 Porsche Taycan Review

Name: 2022 Porsche Taycan
Brand: Porsche

Price Range: $55,990 - $99,490

The 2022 Taycan represents Porsche's foray into the electric vehicle space, and it does not disappoint. The Taycan is a technological masterpiece that manages to deliver incredible comfort and effortless driving one moment and then, with the twist of a knob, world-beating performance the next. How one car can do both so well is a little baffling.

But all that technology and capability comes at a high price. The Taycan is not cheap, and we found some of Porsche's touchscreen tech to be needlessly complicated — Luddites, steer clear.

2022 Porsche Taycan Review

by the Edmunds Experts

12/2/2021

What's new

New performance-focused GTS trim slots between Taycan 4S and Turbo
Updated infotainment system now includes Android Auto
New automated Remote Park Assist option
Taycan now available with Porsche's custom paint-to-sample program
Part of the first Taycan generation introduced in 2020

What is the Porsche Taycan?

The Porsche Taycan is a luxury electric sedan and the brand's first electric vehicle. The 2021 Taycan is our top pick in the class, followed by the Tesla Model 3 and Model S, respectively. Our editors are impressed by the Taycan's ability to operate comfortably as a daily driver and deliver world-beating performance with the press of a button. When it comes to range, the EPA estimates the base-model Taycan can go about 200 miles while the larger-battery model can cover up to about 227 miles. And in our experience, we've been able to drive significantly farther than the EPA estimates.

Since the Taycan just hit the market two years ago, we won't see many major changes to the 2022 model. That doesn't mean there aren't upgrades in store, however. The biggest news is that Android Auto (finally) comes to the Taycan this year. It requires plugging in via the USB-C port (in contrast to Apple CarPlay, which supports a wireless connection), but owners of either smartphone type will now enjoy an integrated experience. The Taycan also now offers a Remote Park Assist option, which allows owners to park the SUV from outside the vehicle using their smartphone. Finally, the new Turbo Charging Planner is said to decrease charging times by allowing rapid charging sooner after the vehicle is first plugged in.

Edmunds says

If you have an Android-based smartphone, it's worth waiting for this year's model because the 2022 Porsche Taycan finally adds Android Auto compatibility. If you're an Apple user, there's really no reason to not buy a 2021 Taycan instead, especially if you can score a killer deal.

2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo 4dr Sedan AWD (electric 2AM)

Be wise!!! Make sure you speak with actual Taycan owners before you buy. This is the inaugural year and there’s been nothing but problems. My car has been in the service garage almost 1/2 of the time I’ve owned it. SOFTWARE issues is all I hear when I inquire as I continue to make my monthly payments without having my car. My brakes failed because of a software issue, my charger …

Worst software and car support

2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S 4dr Sedan AWD (electric 2AM)

From day 1 the software on the car has failed to work properly. Porsche technicians and dealers are clueless regarding how to remedy the OTA, control module malfunctions. Porsche North America has very poor support. The car itself drives and handles great but the PCM and software features are a continuous problem. When the software and interface do not come close to the reliability …

2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo 4dr Sedan AWD (electric 2AM)

I’ve had my Taycan turbo for 12 months. Worse car ownership ever. Now needs main battery replacement. They can’t give me an ETA for delivery of the part. Continuous software issues, rattles, error messages. Porsche support awful. Continue to ship new cars knowing there are major faults. Check current owners many having similar issues

Great handling and interior; tech needs work

2021 Porsche Taycan 4dr Sedan (electric 2AM)

Climate change compelled me to sell my beloved e90 M3 and get a Taycan. I've been very happy with it in my first year, with several family roadtrips with young children in the rear view mirror. It's not a sports car, but the Taycan has fantastic handling, a stellar interior, and comfortably accommodates two car seats for a family of four. It's lovely to drive around the city and …
