Bitauto original? As a sports car brand, Porsche’s ability to create performance models that are fun to drive is unquestionable. Even the Cayenne and Macan in the SUV configuration, or the Panamera? Driving pleasure and functionality are embedded in it.
Faced with the era of electrification trends, new energy has brought new imprints. Porsche has also followed the trend and launched the E-Hybrid model and the pure electric Taycan model, in a way that belongs to the new era. Products infused with performance genes. So, what is the experience of a "power-up" Porsche?
Faced with the huge wave of electrification in the new era, the "performance" gap that was like a chasm in the era of internal combustion engines has gradually been quietly smoothed by electric motors. As the first sports car brand to ride the waves, Porsche launched its first pure electric mass-produced car, the Taycan, at its 70th anniversary celebration, marking the official entry of a generation of classic supercar brands into the electrification era.
As the entry-level model of the entire series, the Taycan maximizes the inheritance of Porsche’s DNA. Its exterior design is both classic and novel, and it also contains many sci-fi and novel design elements, such as four-point LED headlights, Aerodynamic settings full of Porsche elements, etc., everything that belongs to Porsche is presented to everyone.
“No matter what kind of electric vehicle product Porsche will produce in the future, it must first be a Porsche.” There is always a heavy saying inside Porsche, even if it does not bring you as much as 718 and 911 It is the joy of mechanical control, but Taycan means the beginning of Porsche's transformation in the context of electrification, and it is a continuation of "born on the track and driven on the road".
Under the premise of retaining the family-style design style, the 16.8-inch full LCD instrument panel is standard for the entire series, replacing the classic five-barrel dial of Porsche. It can be set to classic, There are several different modes such as streamlining, and all driving-related information is displayed, such as assistance systems, G value, tire pressure, wheel drive, driving mode, multimedia, etc., which directly enhances the sense of technology.
The central control screen is a 10.9-inch horizontal screen that is standard in the entire series. It can control driving mode, kinetic energy recovery, reversing image and other functions. Such a stack of technological configurations has made it possible for Porsche, which only loves driving control in the past. This is the first of its kind.
In terms of creating a luxurious atmosphere, Porsche, as an ultra-luxury brand, will not disappoint. The Taycan is still wrapped in a large area of ????leather material supplemented by double stitching. The large physical button area is replaced by an 8.4-inch vertical touch screen. This screen is mainly responsible for adjusting air conditioning and charging-related functions, making every inch of the area you can touch in the car full of texture and ritual.
However, as the beginning of Porsche’s mass-produced pure electric car series, although the Taycan retains the design and temperament of Porsche, as a pure electric new energy model, in terms of intelligence, mobile Internet and high-tech configuration , there is still a lot of room for improvement.
The tail design of the Taycan is as elegant and sporty as the Panamera, which is known as the most beautiful four-door sedan. The through-type taillights, glass-textured PORSCHE logo, and extendable tail wing are all typical Porsche design elements. The airfoil and rear wing are both from the PAA active aerodynamic system. The excellent aerodynamic design allows it to have a minimum drag coefficient of 0.22.
When driving the Taycan, you can enjoy the steady and linear burst of power and the precise and tight driving feel. The sensitive dynamic response is not sloppy. It deliberately cuts into the apex of the bend from the outside and calmly adjusts the direction. Is it smart enough? Is culture still important to Taycan?
The entry-level Taycan is the only rear-drive model in the series. It is equipped with a single-layer battery with a standard capacity of 79.2kWh. The rear axle is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor using hairpin winding technology, so the power parameters It will also be slightly weaker than other models, with a maximum output power of 300kW (408 horsepower) and a NEDC range of 414KM.
In addition, it must be mentioned that the layout of the Taycan's battery in the chassis is not a rectangle running from the front to the back, but a "footwell" is set up on the ground in the rear of the car, which is equivalent to the ground space under the feet. There is no battery, which makes its sitting posture closer to that of a traditional fuel vehicle, making the rear seat space more spacious.
In other words, it’s not that Taycan can’t install more batteries and run further, it’s just a choice made out of considerations of styling “pedigree” and passenger experience. In order to improve the utilization efficiency of electric energy, Taycan's kinetic energy recovery power can be as high as 265kW. Compared with the maximum charging power of 270kW, kinetic energy recovery is very efficient.
Compared with the pursuit of long battery life and long range of traditional new energy vehicles, Taycan, as Porsche's electric coupe, has chosen another route: high performance and durability - the power of the vehicle's pure electric drive Even after multiple consecutive accelerations, the assembly can still quickly release full power, allowing it to have enough capability and reliability to face the intense driving of a Porsche within a 40km range.
Although the power system is indeed a little "shabby" compared with high-end models, the basic model can also achieve 0-100km/h acceleration in 5.4 seconds. The other three models, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo, and Taycan Turbo S, all Has the ability to accelerate within 4 seconds.
The cruising range and speed-up capability are basically at the same level as the current mainstream new energy models, and due to the large price gap with 4S models, you can consider optional high-performance batteries priced at 62,400 yuan. Optional package,
