Taycan 4S

Porsche Taycan 4S Specifications

Taycan 4S Range and Charging Time

With the standard battery, the 4S charges at up to 270 kW, while the larger battery accepts up to 320 kW. As a result, it ranks among the fastest-charging EVs in India. In real-world use, a one-way Bengaluru to Chennai trip should be possible on one charge, especially with the bigger battery. At home, an 11 kW charger refills it overnight.

89 kWh vs 105 kWh Battery

The 4S is the only Taycan in India that lets you choose your battery. The standard 89 kWh pack suits city use and occasional highway trips. Meanwhile, the optional 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus adds about 85 km of claimed range, faster peak charging and more power with launch control. Therefore, buyers who drive long distances should consider the upgrade.

Porsche Taycan 4S Features

Standard kit includes adaptive air suspension with PASM and Smart Lift, plus Matrix LED headlights. Inside, a curved 16.8-inch cluster, a 10.9-inch touchscreen and an 8.4-inch lower screen make up the cockpit. The front seats are heated and electrically adjustable. In addition, wireless Apple CarPlay, Porsche Voice Pilot and a frunk come standard. For safety, it gets automatic emergency braking, Lane Keeping Assist and a reversing camera.

What the 4S Misses

Compared with pricier versions, the 4S skips HD-Matrix headlights, a head-up display and Bose sound. It also misses rear-axle steering and Porsche Active Ride. Moreover, ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control and a surround-view camera cost extra. Since options add up quickly, check the final price carefully when you configure your car.

Taycan 4S vs Other Variants and Rivals

The Taycan 4S Black Edition costs about Rs 7 lakh more but adds the bigger battery and several costly options. Meanwhile, the BMW i5 M60 matches its pace for far less money. However, it can’t match the Taycan’s sharp handling and fast charging.
