Our 2026 Porsche Taycan 4 Rating
FORPORSCHE RATING: 8/10
Pros
AWD confidence at near-base pricing; improved launch traction over RWD; excellent everyday usability in all weather; minimal visual difference keeps it understated.
Cons
Slightly less range than the RWD base model; AWD premium can feel high given the subtle real-world difference.
Verdict
The volume model for good reason. All-wheel drive security and improved launch traction for a modest premium over base. The easiest Taycan to recommend to most buyers.
