After Porsche stormed the market with the Taycan Turbo and the Turbo S, it unveiled a tamed, more affordable version of its first full-electric vehicle, the Taycan 4S.

Even though it wore badges carried over from the 911 lineup, it didn’t mean that it had an internal combustion engine under its hood. It was powered by electrons, and it was designed to stay like that forever, confirming Porsche’s commitment to the new EV era. But unlike its siblings, which were focused more on performance than on usability, the Taycan S tried to be more like a premium electric sports car with four doors and room for four adults inside. And even if it was slower and less performant than its siblings, it was no slouch.

This new base version of the Taycan had a similar-looking front fascia to its siblings. It featured the same headlights with four LED blocks for the daytime running lights and thin, vertical functional scoops underneath. Still, the lower bumper looked less aggressive than its siblings and featured two horizontal slats due to its black color instead of body-colored parts. In the middle, these were interrupted by the radar for the adaptive cruise control when fitted. From its profile, it looked more like a coupe than a four-door vehicle. Just like its siblings, it sported frameless windows. At the back, despite the sloped rear end that made the car look like a hatchback, its trunk lid opened without the windscreen.

Inside, the base model came with fewer enhancements than its Turbo and Turbo S siblings, but it wasn’t basic either. The base model came with part-leather upholstery and front eight-way adjustable seats. In addition, the 10.9 infotainment screen was included, but the second touchscreen placed in front of the passenger was on the options list. The sporty seats were comfortable and mounted low on the floor to ensure occupants a sportscar-like experience. In front of the driver, the automaker placed a digital instrument cluster with a design resembling the 911. In the back, Porsche installed three seat belts and three headrests, suggesting that it was big enough for three adults, but in reality, the legroom and headroom were limited. As a result, the Taycan 4S, just like its siblings, was good to transport five people, but only on short jaunts. But, as a surprise, those seated there had their own control panel for the HVAC system, which was placed on the center console’s ending. As an option, the automaker offered outboard heated seats for the rear passengers.

For the technical part, Porsche decided to provide the vehicle with a choice of a 79.2 kWh or a 93.4 kWh battery pack. The latter version was, obviously, heavier than the former one. To compensate the weight difference, the former version offered 530 PS (523 hp), while the latter boasted 571 PS (563 hp). Both variants used a twin motor setup, one for each axle. Unlike most electric cars on the market, the Taycan 4S featured a two-speed gearbox for the rear axle, which improved energy efficiency at higher speeds.
