Porsche's four-door EV is quick, agile, and very enjoyable to drive.
We tested a 4S Plus, which has an EPA-rated range of 295 miles.
Charging time on a 240-volt connector takes a long 11 hours for the larger 93-kilowatt-hour battery, but it can charge at an impressive rate of up to 300 kW at a public DC fast charger.
The front seats are very comfortable, but the rear seats are tight.
Visibility to the rear and sides is hindered by the sloping roof.
There's a decently sized rear trunk and a small front trunk.
The touchscreen-based controls are complicated and unintuitive even after repeated use, and the EV-related displays aren't very prominent.
Interior ambience is less impressive than it is in other Porsche models.
A wagon version and a rear-wheel-drive model are also available.
The 2025 model adds more horsepower, and a high-performance Turbo GT version is new.
The ability to charge using Tesla Superchargers with the use of an adapter was added for 2026.
