2022 Porsche Taycan Exterior and Dimensions

Porsche's exterior designs are nothing if not iconic. The 911 is so recognizable that you could identify it merely by looking at an outline sketch. With the Taycan being the German manufacturer's first EV, it had to do something different while still retaining Porsche's design DNA. Somehow, the designers managed to pull it off. The Taycan is something completely new, but still inherently Porsche.

It sits low to the ground and it has a wide stance. The LED headlights have Porsche's signature daytime running lights. At the rear, there's a narrow light strip, neatly integrating the Porsche logo. The rear shoulders make a powerful statement, while the lack of an exhaust pipe looks slightly odd on a car with such an aggressive design. The base variant comes fitted with standard features like 19-inch wheels, and those aggressive vertical air curtains in front.

The Taycan is 195.4 inches long, with a wheelbase of 114.2 inches. It's got a width of 77.5 inches with the side mirrors folded but is only 54.9 inches tall. The 4S variant is marginally shorter at 54.3 inches in height. To put that into perspective, the regular Panamera is 3.4 inches longer in terms of overall length and around two inches longer in the wheelbase department. With its considerable dimensions and battery pack, the Taycan is a hefty beast, but that's true for all EVs. The lightest Taycan is the entry-level model, weighing 4,568 pounds with the standard Performance Battery. The heaviest standard model is the Taycan 4S with the Performance Battery Plus with a curb weight of 4,949 lbs.
