Porsche asked AMCI Testing to conduct independent tests to evaluate the range of the Taycan, Taycan 4S, Taycan Turbo and Taycan Turbo S to help customers make more informed decisions. These range estimates provide guidelines but the distance you can drive (range) varies considerably based on a number of factors, such as driving conditions and traffic situation (e.g., stop-and-go driving or highway driving), personal driving habits and selected driving mode (e.g., Sport), speed, topography, use of comfort/auxiliary equipment (e.g., air conditioning, heat, etc.), optional equipment (e.g., wheels and tires), weather, outside temperature, number of passengers, cargo, age of vehicle and the battery, battery capacity, and charging habits. The EPA range estimates enable comparison to other electric vehicles. With recuperation braking from 200km/h to 0, electrical energy can be recovered for a range of up to 4km. Or to be more precise: during sporty, everyday driving, for example, you could achieve up to a third of your range exclusively from recuperation. So you significantly improve your car's stopping power and the maximum possible amount of kinetic energy is transformed into additional miles of driving pleasure: with an outstanding recuperation output of up to 275kW, energy can be fed back into the battery. This means that brake recuperation is first activated via the brake pedal and the mechanical brake is only engaged when stronger braking is required – intelligently controlled by a braking system that is capable of blending. Level can be adjusted to suit your own preferences, while the brake recuperation always ensures maximum efficiency. The system works innovatively and can recuperate up to 90% of the braking energy. Sorry Audi, but Porsche has made the high-performance wagon into an art form that we want to stare at in our driveway.For brake energy recuperation in all Taycan models, Porsche developed Porsche Recuperation Management (PRM), which consists of sophisticated brake recuperation. Yes, it's super expensive and it'll be ugly to some, but we just can't stop thinking about owning one. Thanks to its artificial and futuristic motor sounds, it alerts you to the speeds you're doing just like a traditional engine would, and although it'll never make the kinds of sounds that plaster a massive grin on your face, the way it moves will certainly have that effect. The Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo is also quite spacious, has loads of power, and will break necks everywhere. It's got space, power, attention-grabbing looks, and immense tuning potential. The Audi RS6 Avant is still an astonishingly brilliant machine in our eyes. Whether it's down to pricing, features, design, or the never-ending argument about which car has more soul, the verdict we provide here will be viewed as wrong by someone.
Having read this far, you will likely have formed an opinion on which car you prefer already.
Ultimately, there's little to split between the two, but we think the Taycan's interior flows better and is cleaner. On the other hand, the Porker offers a 5.8-inch rear-seat display as an option.

Fortunately, you do get bragging rights with the screens: the instrumentation is a massive 16.8-inch curved screen with touch-sensitive buttons flanking it, while infotainment is handled by a 10.9-inch touch display with a secondary 8.4-inch screen for climate and other functions.īoth cars offer massaging front seats, night vision cameras, and adaptive cruise control, but only the Audi offers Android Auto. Things aren't too dissimilar in the Porker: you also get adaptive air suspension, a panoramic glass roof, and plenty of leather, but the standard climate system is dual-zone. You get a panoramic sunroof, a power liftgate, heated and ventilated 14-way power front seats, and multicolor configurable ambient lighting.

In the Audi, a 12.3-inch configurable driver display is the main focus for the driver, while 10.1-inch and 8.6-inch touchscreens are used to control infotainment and the quad-zone climate control system. Both Audi and Porsche provide you with a trio of high-resolution screens.
