All cars from Porsche have always been looked up to as premium cars. The automobile manufacturing company revealed the Porsche Taycan at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show. Interestingly, the concept version of the all-electric Taycan was named Porsche Mission E. The performance and ride quality of this electric model was highly appreciated by people all around the world.
Other than that, it is Porsche’s first series of electric cars in the market. Initially, the model was sold at several different performance levels to the customers. Additionally, the introduction of the Taycan changed the EV automobile market of the world.
Today, in the current market the 2022 Porsche Taycan Electric will face fierce competition from 2022 Tesla Model S, 2022 Audi E-Tron, 2022 Lucid Air, BMW 8-series, and many more.
Engine and Performance of the 2022 Porsche Taycan Electric
The 2022 Porsche Taycan will be seen in three different trim levels with different configurations. The three different trim levels are Base, 4S, and GTS. Opting for any trim level you will be greeted with a long list of unique and fully-charged features. But, we will be talking about the Base version of the Porsche Taycan Electric.
Under the hood of that beautiful body lies a highly powerful AC Permanent Synchronous Motor or electric engine. The engine of the model is capable of producing 402 horsepower. Unfortunately, we do not have the value for its torque output. Still, with that heavy and powerful engine, the torque output by the model would surely be enormous.
The power outcome of the Taycan is equally distributed to its rear wheels only. But, we do have to give its superior 2-speed direct-drive transmission credits for its overall better pickup and performance. Additionally, the engine of the Taycan helps it reach from 0-60 MPH in just 5.1 seconds and finishes quarter-mile run in just 13.7 seconds run.
But, if we compare those with its other competitors in the market then they might just beat the Taycan. Let us see the specification of Taycan’s other competitors in the market in the table below:-
| Models | 2022 Porsche Taycan (Base) | 2022 Audi E-Tron GT | 2022 Tesla Model S |
| MSRP | $84,050 | $102,400 | $79,990 |
| Engine | Electric | Electric | Electric |
| Transmission | 2-speed Direct-drive | 2-speed direct drive | 1-speed direct-drive |
| Drivetrain | RWD | AWD | AWD |
| Power | 402 hp | 469 hp | 670 hp |
| Torque | NA | 465 lb-ft | NA |
| 0-60 MPH (sec) | 5.1 | 3.9 | 3.1 |
| Quarter-Mile (sec) | 13.7 | NA | 10.4 |
Unfortunately, the Porsche Taycan is not as efficient and powerful as the Tesla Model S. The Tesla Model S beats all the other models in the segment. The power outcome from the Model S is quite huge and completes the 0-60 MPH run in just 3.1 seconds. The second place in the segment has been taken by 2022 Audi E-Tron which is also the most expensive in the segment. But, if you are looking for a premium electric model then there is no denying with the Porsche Taycan.
Fuel Economy of the 2022 Porsche Taycan
Fuel economy is what people all over the world hunt for. The eagerness for hunting good fuel economy cars remains the same for electric cars as well. People will surely value and buy electric cars that have a good driving range in a single charge.
There are very few luxurious electric cars in the market that provide good fuel economy or drive range. In some way, we could say that luxurious electric cars are not good when it comes to fuel economy.
Now, the 2022 Porsche Taycan is charged through the DC system and the customer can charge the model at Electrify America charging stations. But, Porsche as a company charges extra for an onboard charger, the same goes with its onboard DC charger. But, you also get a rapid charger that charges the Taycan from 5% to almost 80% in just 22 minutes.
Let us look at the e-fuel economy of the Porsche Taycan and its competitors in the market.
| Models | 2022 Porsche Taycan (Base) | 2022 Audi E-Tron GT | 2022 Tesla Model S |
| MPGe (City) | 76 | 81 | 102 |
| MPGe (Highway) | 84 | 83 | 107 |
| MPGe (Combined) | 79 | 82 | 104 |
| Battery size (kWh) | 79.2 | NA | 100 |
The biggest battery is with the Tesla Model S so you can expect a good driving range. The Tesla Model S comes out to be the best in the segment because of its battery size. The second place is again taken by the luxurious Audi E-Tron GT. For people who are looking for a performance-filled electric car but not much into its fuel economy then the 2022 Porsche Taycan is the best choice out there.
2022 Porsche Taycan Interior

The car is filled with the best and the latest advanced features available in the market.

Other than its luxurious feel you will get a long range of exciting interior features. There are two screens inside the Taycan, one is located in the center console and the other at the top. Interestingly, the top screen takes care of the infotainment system, climate control, AC, volume, and other related features.
The seats both in the front and back cabin provide good back support. They provide great comfort and the front visibility is very good. Additionally, the seating position inside the Taycan is kept just right and there is no compromise made by the manufacturing company.
We are quite sure that the interior of the Taycan will be far better and advanced as compared to its rivals. The passenger and the driver at the front get enough head, shoulder, and legroom. Moving to the rear cabin they also get an ample amount of head, shoulder, and legroom.
