As more car manufacturers release EV models, one EV continues to stand out. The Taycan is Porsche’s take on a luxury electric sports car. With its futuristic yet effortless design, the Porsche Taycan is an eye-catching vehicle that combines the joys of a supercar with an eco-friendly mindset.
To fit any lifestyle, Porsche Canada currently offers two Taycan models with seven trims.
In this article, we break down the Porsche Taycan and Taycan Cross Turismo. Explore the world of electric ⚡️ with the Porsche Taycan:
Taycan 4 Cross Turismo
Starting at $119,900 (CAD).
The Taycan Cross Turismo is the newest model of the Taycan to be made available in Canada. Compared to its smaller and speedier younger brother, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo has a wagon body style providing more storage with a front trunk space, larger rear trunk, and a more spacious interior. One of the unique features of the Taycan models is the option to have a panoramic fixed glass roof. You can choose between two roof styles: the contoured variant made of lightweight aluminum or the panoramic fixed glass roof.
With more space, 20mm more ground clearance, and the option to add an additional 10mm of ground clearance with the off-road design package, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is ready for any lifestyle and adventure.

Taycan 4S
Starting at $121,700 (CAD).
With the original sports sedan body style, the Taycan 4S is what EV dreams are made of. The striking exterior appearance, innovative technology, and elegant interior make the Taycan 4S the perfect luxury electric sports car. Coming in slightly smaller and sportier than the wagon-style Cross Turismo, the Taycan 4S is one of the sexiest EVs on the market today.
Even though the Taycan 4S is the slowest out of the sedan-style trims, it still boasts an 0-100km acceleration in four seconds. The four-door Taycan 4S is comparable to the Tesla Model S in base-level price, body style, and speed. However, the Tesla Model S is faster with a three-second acceleration and is cheaper at $114,990 (CAD). But the Taycan 4S exudes a more exotic and unique appearance.
