Time to ditch that SUV order...

[@Lookbusybuddy]

Form and function best combo. Handles well,looks great,less drag than an suv and weighs less. 🤫

[@Stevieboy130664]

It's a stunner! That's why.

[@jep1912]

Indeed.

[@humanistje79]

Wagons have always been THE ultimate form of car. Storage and usability without destroying handling and efficiency.

[@genemounceSr]

Estate anything are gorgeous !

[@jak493]

I think it’s stunning however it’s so wide that everyday driving in the country is just too scary! I had one coming towards me the other day and after staring at how lovely it looked, I realised it was on my side of the road and the other side was scraping the hedge, I could see the whites of his eyes as we passed!

[@jep1912]

Rather than drawing copious analogies, could we draw some conclusions...? Personally the estate never died, RS made sure of that and Merc and BMW have made the greatest on the planet. The new M3 Estate will be a true giant amongst the last ICE cars.

[@conradhenninger2209]

Porsche does one thing better than almost any car company....making money!!!

[@DescartesRenegade]

They're not making money on EVs... Almost all auto makers are losing money on EVs

[@peebeedee6757]

Had to switch off. Too much camera on you when it could have been pointing at the car.

[@MW_SE]

I have a tuned RS6 C7 which I absolutely love (in the limited way that word may be used to describe one's positive sentiment towards dead materia such as an automobile...); it is insanely fast for a big estate, but of course it doesn't provide the same level of handling and driving pleasure as my second car (a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, which I wholeheartedly enjoy just as much). If these two cars would have a baby together (metamorphically speaking of course :-), I'm sure that car would both look and perform exactly like the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo!

[@martinofleeds]

The GTS Taycan is a better drivers car than the C7 RS6. I’ve 4 years of driving the RS6 & 1 year of the GTS. I’ve back to backed, both and it’s sad to say, for me the EV has the ICE. That EV & That ICE, both are top table estates, chalk & cheese personalities. The Porsche is soulless, The Audi, like yours, it’s tuned , this one to 740bhp. It’s all pops bangs farts & whistles. Real character….

[@MW_SE]

​@@martinofleeds Thanks for the comment! I recently sold the RS6 and bought a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo instead, but I immediately felt that it actually replaced the Cayman GTS 4.0 more than it replaced the RS6 (as I had intended) - so I ended up instead selling the Cayman GTS and buying back the RS6 (which has now been in my possession for ten years, minus the 49 days it had just spent at the dealership; they put a big price tag on it and fortunately still had it when I inquired about it :-). Just like you write, the Taycan GTS is much more of a driver's car than the RS6, but the RS6 (to me) has all the personality that the Taycan lacks. The RS6 weighs 2.010 kg while the Taycan weighs 2.470 kg, yet the latter feels twice as nimble in the curves (mainly due to the lower center of gravity and better longitudinal weight distribution), while the former (tuned) feels twice as fast on the straights. There is however now a tune available from HGP that gives the Taycan GTS >800 PS / 1.050 NM...

[@JelloTypeR]

I’d love one of these, perfect for my requirements with the boys bike and other stuff in the boot and shopping in the froot. I’ll take mine in that Granny Smith like green metallic that Porsche do. Now I just need £120k to fund the purchase.

[@s.c.1972]

Great review!

[@rossmatheson4303]

I can't get on board with anyone pretending estates look better than sport saloons. It's madness

[@michaelzehnder3040]

I own a 911 and a Cayenne. I like both. Never, never, never i will spend my money for a Taycan Sport Tourismo. Never.

[@kidomark3819]

I own a 911, Cayenne and 718. Along with 7 other cars. And all I can say is. Go drive it. It is unbelievable.

[@madsdgdhg]

It's not an estate. It's an hatchback. A "great expensive gorgeous fun to drive" hatchback.

[@DrOtto-sx7cp]

... Toycan ! 😆

[@Chasing-Red]

This Turismo is just purely amazing design engineering. BUT, for me, it’s an Audi wagon that I’d pick. It’s cheaper too. But if money wasn’t an object, Taycan Turismo hands down wins.

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

i understand what he means with the back of the Taycan. when i look in person carefully. the back do look like it’s missing something

[@huwd2292]

X5 was the sporty SUV, what, 3 years before the Cayenne/Touareg twins. And can this really be a choice? 250 mile range means a long distance run to the South of France is going to be hopelessly slow.

[@lars-akechesburg9911]

Nope 1:00, BMW X5 was made in 1999 and it wasn't just made for farmers.

[@seanoconnor8135]

I assume he meant "when the 911 went water cooled"

[@jonausten1261]

It is a lovely car, but it is small for an estate car and tiny compared to an SUV. I can get golf clubs, electric trolley and road bike into my Cayenne with ease - I cannot get a road bike into a Taycan estate without removing both wheels and the seat post! There simply isn't enough room. So unfortunately it is not for me. Come on Porsche - improve the packaging!

[@MarkLRandall]

Is that seriously true, you cannot fit a road bike without removing both wheels AND seat post? That's a deal breaker.

[@jonausten1261]

Yes, I tried many times and simply could not do it. The answer from the Porsche salesman was that they sell a bike carrier.

[@MarkLRandall]

@@jonausten1261 I'm astounded. We're talking the wagon/estate right, not the sedan?

[@jonausten1261]

@@MarkLRandall yes

[@jei.massive6120]

Love the name Estate, we don't quite use that name in the USA, can someone educate me on the true definition of estate when used to describe a car?

[@GoodwoodRR]

You'd call it a station wagon

[@peterhammer4644]

On the looks the Sedan wins for me, not even a debate. But I dont like the boot in my 4S, its not very practical.

[@srspower]

Ferrari have been making a two seater estate for years.

[@porchfly80]

In what world does an electric car hold a candle to an internal combustion engine? I wish these series were more practical.

[@alexsasnouski8636]

[@leonmiller2162]

Check out your camera work/angles, we can’t see in detail what your describing when your pointing it out.

[@blade123700650]

having had both, the Taycan is just too wide for UK roads (to accommodate the humongous battery)

[@rotorairgroup8409]

I can't believe that Porsche claims that this car is a "Turbo". Its a rolling appliance

[@DavidChong]

there's an estate shaped taycan it calls turbo, but it's not this one. admittedly it's easy to lose track with all the different models they have

[@c4a5m3]

260 Miles is ridiculous. Take 10-20% off in cold weather. Not worth it until the range goes up dramtically.

[@prakashnarismulu3332]

More visual of the details of the car please and voice over rather than focus on the presenter and less car

[@richardh3587]

I do love this car but I’m not sold on its practicality, an Audi A5 sportback has more legroom and cargo room despite being a foot shorter and much narrower as well.

[@gavinhowe5796]

I like the car, but my 608hp Alpina B5 touring has more room and goes from 0-60 more quickly with a 202 mph top. It also allowed us to drive to Scotland at Easter without having to stop and recharge.

[@sensualeye]

@@2Greenlid I think that is changing. There is a lot of excitement around the new GR Corolla. It being a joint development between Toyota and Subaru I suspect there will be a version from the latter as well. Mazda and Hyundai also have performance 5 doors.

[@yodaddamilkman8422]

@@sensualeye those aren’t estates, more like 4 door hot hatches. I am super excited about the Corolla

[@sensualeye]

@@yodaddamilkman8422 I consider any car with 5 doors an estate. A hatchback has 3. I did look up "estate" just to be sure about my usage. Marketing terminology has changed over the years. What you call a 5 door hatchback was called a station wagon in the 80s. And a station wagon (American term) is also considered an estate (European term). So we're both correct. I'd bet there is at least a 30-year age difference between us. 🙂 Cheers

Another 'wanna be Clarkson' review. It's about the car, not the reviewer! We never got to see a decent view of the car, just arty farty, low down snippets and A LOT of the reviewer just talking, being 'witty and lyrical' (is that what he thought he was doing?). 'Massive', 'wide' - give us figures. Show us the car from where our eyes are, not our knees.

When 400 km of range suits you, taycan is the answer.

[@Metal05]

260 miles of range anxiety, I’ll stick with my Audi C7 quattro that still goes 80mph for U.K. roads easily, 600 miles of range, all for £23k. Also I don’t need a carbon roof to brag to my friends I’ve got carbon fibre on my car, and has everything else this has. Rather have the GT3 for near the same money.

So Porsche invented the road going SUV? I think range Rover might have something to say about that they were doing it for 30 years prior so what does this guy smoking. On top of that he's doing a fluff piece on a car that nobody wants because it's depreciation is appalling and it's miles per kilowatt is absolutely disgraceful but he doesn't mention any of these things so this must be nothing more than a paid fluff piece

[@bentandre5524]

you cant say that its not pretty

[@andrewbarton8525]

260 miles max range?! So not a continental cruiser to whisk you from London to Cannes with the wife children and dog. What is the point!. My 1990 Mercedes 300 TE-24 sportline had only 240bhp , only 7 seats,. Only a range of 350 miles between 'recharging' in a few minutes. Could only do 147 mph and 0-60 in 7 seconds....but i could do London to Cannes in 10 hours. Bet that 130000 milk float could not. Thats the point of a powerful estate.
