The ultimate high-performance dailika..Porsche New Taycan Turismo

The best vehicle to use on a daily basis comes to mind the 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, which was recently tested.Electric cars are perfect everyday cars with both efficiency and refinement.
Also, a Porsche is literally a Porsche.Combine the two with a slightly raised station wagon body, and a nice car with even the most advanced suspension system on the planet is born.
Porsche revamped its Taycan model lineup last year to improve performance and efficiency.For the 4S Cross Turismo, the output rose from 562 horsepower to 590 horsepower. The EPA-based mileage increased from 346 kilometers to 437 kilometers.It is proof that you can catch both rabbits.
4S Cross Turismo has a 105.0kWh performance battery plus standard specification. The 4S sedan has a 97.0kWh battery pack as standard. The most impressive thing about Taycan is the specialness felt in the first impression.
Many electric vehicles have high seat positions because of battery packs, while Taycan has low seat positions.A low cowl and a short bonnet wrap around the front. A convex fender reminiscent of a Porsche sports car catches the eye.
The seat with the "Pepita" houndtus pattern trim, which is optional for the interior material of this vehicle, rather than leather, is well received for its stunning appearance and touch.The next thing that stands out is performance.
Impressive is not just zero-back acceleration time fast.Experience shows that the Taycan is one of the fastest vehicles to move from point A to point B on winding roads. Equipped with a high-performance suspension, the Taycan further speeds up.
The Porsche Active Ride is a 10.15 million won option.The pressure of the fluid in the damper can be adjusted and an additional load can be applied.This provides complete control of all body movements regardless of external input.
Porsche used this system to almost completely remove pitching, dives, and rolling strings. In normal mode, the vehicle tilts as it enters the corner and dives slightly as it accelerates.It even provides a slightly pitched setting when braking.
Porsche defines the Taycan as a four-door sports car, not a luxury sedan. This electric car was very comfortable, but it's not as soft as the Panamera.The active ride system basically delivers loads evenly to four wheels while eliminating road driving problems.
In order to understand this system properly, you have to drive your car on a rough and rugged road surface.It's really thrilling to drive in real life.The grip is amazing, and the unevenness of the road surface is not felt at all.You can hardly feel the movement of the body.
Porsche engineers did their best to make these systems feel normal. The conclusion is that better comfort and much improved handling are completed than before.Even the regular Taycan has excellent ride comfort and handling. Nevertheless, this Taycan has some drawbacks.
The brake pedal feeling that Porsche uses to mix regenerative and friction braking is inconsistent.I think it's right to use the left pedal to control all vehicle braking rather than using the one pedal, lift accelerator regenerative braking like Tesla or Lucid.Most of the time it doesn't matter and the car stops properly, but it's a noticeable regret.
Porsche has very aggressively applied rear-wheel steering options across its entire lineup.I rarely felt the rear wheel turn before, but now I even feel the rear wheel turn a little excessive.If you turn it too fast, the front wheel grabs the grip and the rear wheel starts to turn.
The grip of the car is so good that it feels more difficult to operate the steering wheel than expected. Handle operation should be done slowly.It's better not to consider this option, which costs 1.85 million won.However, there are only two things that can be pointed out in the driving performance of this Taycan 4S.
Taikan gives you a much better experience than before.Porsche has invested a lot of time in making the updated Taycan a better EV.It is one of the fastest-charging electric vehicles on sale. The digital instrument panel has a useful dial showing the battery temperature and maximum chargeable capacity.
When the charging planner of the built-in navigation system is used, the vehicle automatically warms up the battery to support fast charging. I checked up to 237kW of power at the Electrify America charging station.
Even though the battery was fully charged, the speed did not decrease significantly.It took about 13 minutes to charge 50 kWh of energy. It didn't reach the maximum the car could make, but it was still very impressive.
Taikan is very expensive as it is Porsche.The base price of the 2025 4S Cross Turismo model is $127,295 (about 175 million won). The price of the full-option test drive was $165,655 (about 228 million won).There are so many expensive options that I want to take out, but no matter how well I meet the specifications, it is an expensive car.
But it's really hard to come up with a better everyday car if you exclude the price. Practical, efficient, beautiful and really easy to drive. In addition, the speed is fast, so there is really nothing more to ask for.
