View Exterior Photos of the 2025 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo

Read the full review | See Interior Photos Porsche's all-electric Taycan Sport Turismo is back this year in GTS guise. Packing 690 horsepower, this all-wheel-drive wagon is one incredibly fun-to-drive sled. The updated-for-2025 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo carries a starting price of $151,795, while the sedan starts at $149,895. The GTS trim is the only way to get the Sport Turismo style, which is lower slung than the Cross Turismo. The GTS goes to significant lengths to add comfort to speed. The optional and super-trick Porsche Active Ride is one of its techniques to keep the car as controlled as possible. The entire Porsche lineup gets new batteries, which increase net capacity without requiring more dimensional space or adding weight. The GTS comes standard with the 97.0-kWh Performance Plus battery. The GTS we drove wore optional ceramic-ceramic brakes with yellow calipers. This $9070 option adds 10-piston fixed calipers with 16.5-inch vented and cross-drilled rotors up front, with help from four-piston fixed calipers and 16.1-inch vented and cross-drilled rotors in the rear.

These are the ten best electric company cars available today

Close When looking for a new job, many drivers consider a company car as a must-have perk. Company cars can save employees money, and choosing an electric car brings a great reduction in benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax. Business users are taxed on a low percentage of the car's value, which can amount to significant annual tax savings. For the 2025/2026 tax year, this figure is just 3% for EVs, while petrol and diesel models come in significantly higher – up to 37%, in fact. In the modern world, EV drivers can also benefit from cheap home charging rates or even charge at the office, should their company offer it. There are many excellent electric company car options out there, with models from Volkswagen, Tesla, BMW and MG all proving popular with the British driving public. The Volkswagen ID 7 stands out as our premier choice, offering remarkable range, unparalleled comfort and excellent practicality, all at a highly affordable monthly cost. But which other options should you add to your shortlist? Check out our full list below to find out, including some of the best hatchbacks, SUVs, estate cars and more. Design 8 Interior 9 Performance 8 Ride & Handling 9 Costs 8 The finest-riding electric car at this price point Among the most practical too, with limo-like occupant space Tidy handling and such easy drivability are old-school VW Infotainment controls are improved but still frustrate at times Not the most inspiring product in terms of subjective appeal BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £25.20 Monthly BIK at 40%: £50.40 Volkswagen's electric line-up has several good options for company cars, but our pick and overall top choice is the ID 7. Available as a saloon or a Tourer estate, the ID 7 should be at the top of your shortlist if you have a longer commute. Range is one of its many strong points, with small-battery variants offering 380 miles and long-range cars 440 miles. Inside, the ID 7 boasts comfortable seats, plenty of front and rear leg room and a vastly improved, 15in touchscreen infotainment system. It's generally very practical, as the saloon has 532 litres of boot space, compared with 605 litres in the estate. For 20% taxpayers, an ID 7 can cost as little as £25.20 a month, which doubles for 40% taxpayers. It's certainly a lot of car for the money. Read our Volkswagen ID 7 review 2. Porsche Taycan 9 Design 9 Interior 7 Performance 10 Ride & Handling 9 Costs 8 Pros Outstanding handling poise Sophisticated ride is now even better than before Improved range and DC charging speed Cons Quite heavy Four-seat practicality isn't as spacious as a full-size saloon Ingress and egress are a bit tight BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £47 Monthly BIK at 40%: £94 Porsche's electric saloon-cum-estate is by far and away the most premium option on our list, but that doesn't mean it will break the bank in terms of BIK. Both the saloon and estate-bodied Sport Turismo can cost as little as £47 per month as a company car. It's a surprisingly affordable way of getting behind the wheel of a premium model with a minimum of 435bhp. The Taycan's BIK cost will vary significantly depending on which car you want to choose, though. The Taycan Turbo S, with a mind-blowing 938bhp, will set you back almost twice as much as a regular Sport Turismo. You will need to choose carefully to maximise range too. The entry-level model has the longest range, at 421 miles, while the Turbo GT offers the least, at 344 miles. Read our Porsche Taycan review 3. Renault 5 9 Design 10 Interior 9 Performance 8 Ride & Handling 9 Costs 8 Pros Excellent ride-and-handling balance Excellent value for money Fantastic interior design Cons Disappointing cruising efficiency Rivals are quicker Occasionally noisy suspension BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £11.50 Monthly BIK at 40%: £23 The French firm's retro-styled electric hatchback is one of our favourite cars of 2025, and its all-round quality, plus its beneficial BIK bands, make it a great choice as a company car. It doesn't have the longest range on this list, but 252 miles should be enough for most drivers, especially those with shorter commutes in more urban and suburban areas. Comfort is a strong point with the Renault 5, even exceeding models priced far higher. Everything in the cabin is laid out intuitively, from the 10.3in infotainment system to the physical buttons that sit beneath. It's a nice place to sit and should keep you relaxed on your commute. Taking into account the 5's low list price, plus its 3% BIK banding, you will pay just £11.50 per month as a 20% taxpayer. How can you say no? Read our Renault 5 review 4. Telsa Model 3 8 Design 8 Interior 8 Performance 10 Ride & Handling 7 Costs 8 Pros Punchy performance is matched by a deep-seated sense of agility Quality of the lounge-like interior really does feel better than ever Range and drivability make the Model 3 fabulously easy to live with Cons Still wants for rolling refinement, especially on choppy British roads Autopilot functions need greater finesse and can't be entirely trusted Minimalistic interior can be a headache when it comes to functionality BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £20 Monthly BIK at 40%: £40 Despite Tesla's recent troubles, its recently revised Model 3 is still a compelling company car choice. The popular electric saloon was updated in 2025 with changes made both inside and out. It now sports a sleeker exterior design plus has gained improved performance and range. The Long Range version claims an impressive 436 miles between top-ups, making it one of the longest-legged EVs available today. Add in access to the Tesla Supercharger network and you've got a very compelling company car. There's plenty of performance, agile handling and a decent ride, plus the Model 3 is now the best-built Tesla. The biggest niggle is the removal of the traditional steering column stalks, with the new wheel-mounted touchpads for the indicators making roundabouts a challenge. Read our Telsa Model 3 review 5. Renault Scenic 8 Design 8 Interior 8 Performance 8 Ride & Handling 8 Costs 7 Pros Efficient driveline combines with a big battery for excellent range Good looking inside and out Impressive infotainment Cons Forward visibility is curiously poor for an out-and-out family car Performance and ride quality are merely so-so BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £18.50 Monthly BIK at 40%: £37 The Renault Scenic has made a move that seems to be becoming all the more common across the industry: it turned into a plush electric SUV. Beneath the metal sits a 91kWh battery with a claimed range of 379 miles, plus rapid charging capability up to speeds of 150kW. In the real world, you will get around 315 miles of range in mixed driving. The Scenic is a good choice for company car drivers who also need to carry passengers, offering amounts of leg room suitable for children and adults. If you need to lug loads rather than ferry your family, boot space is good too, measuring in at 545 litres. In all, the Scenic sems remarkably good value. We would recommend a Long Range model, which still comes in at a very affordable £18.50 on a 20% salary, or £37 if you're in that higher 40% bracket. Read our Renault Scenic review 6. BMW i4 8 Design 8 Interior 8 Performance 9 Ride & Handling 8 Costs 7 Pros Recognisably BMW in its handling and ergonomics Good rolling refinement and perceived cabin quality You don't need to spend all the money to get the best model Cons Real-world range is only so-so M60 derivative isn't necessarily a natural choice for keen drivers Head room is a bit limited for taller adults BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £25 Monthly BIK at 40%: £50 Similar to the internal combustion BMW 4 Series on which it's based, the electric BMW i4's greatest asset is its powertrain selection. Every i4 packs pace and performance. Even the most basic eDrive35 car will get you from 0-62mph in just 6.0sec, while the eDrive40 is quicker at 5.6sec. For supercar speeds, look at the i4 M60 xDrive, which will whiz you from 0-62mph in 3.7sec. Range is good too, starting at 304 miles and rising as high as 334 miles. Of course, it's no diesel 3 Series, but it's enough for most commutes. If you do need to charge, you will be able to take advantage of a maximum charging speed of 205kW. For the cheapest i4, you will pay £25 per month in BIK if you're on a 20% salary or £50 if you're a 40% earner. For the high-powered M60, it's £35, which seems like a good deal to us. 7. Skoda Enyaq 8 Design 8 Interior 8 Performance 8 Ride & Handling 8 Costs 8 Pros Roomy, light, inviting interior Refinement at any speed is top-notch Very spacious Cons Disappointing economy Cars without adaptive dampers are a little too firm-riding Don't get your hopes up for a thrilling drive BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £19 Monthly BIK at 40%: £38 The Skoda Enyaq is a remarkably cheap company car option. A basic model will cost you just £19 per month in BIK, or £38 for 40% earners. A brilliant all-rounder, the Enyaq is one of our favourite electric SUVs, offering a blend of usable daily performance, long-legged range figures and family-friendly practicality. Basic cars get 277 miles of range from a 63kWh battery, but the larger 82kWh variant is capable of 370 miles, which should be more than enough for most commutes. Inside, the Enyaq gets a 13in infotainment system alongside a 5in digital instrument cluster. Boot space varies between the regular SUV and Coupé versions: a sizable 585 litres in the former, 570 litres in the latter. Read our Skoda Enyaq review 8. Tesla Model Y 8 Design 7 Interior 8 Performance 9 Ride & Handling 7 Costs 8 Pros Sharper looks Powerful Very spacious Cons Sparse interior design with next to no physical controls Steering takes some getting used to Ride and handling are fine rather than standout BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £22.50 Monthly BIK at 40%: £45 Enjoyed by Uber drivers and businessmen alike, the Tesla Model Y was the best-selling electric car and the overall best-selling car in Europe in 2024. An update in 2025 modernised its exterior design and slightly improved comfort, and, thanks to its impressive efficiency and direct access to Tesla's Supercharger network, it's still one of the best EVs for company car users. The entry-level Model Y gets 311 miles of range, but the Long Range model ups this to a lofty 387 miles. It's also reasonably quick, hitting 0-62mph in 5.6sec. Switch to all-wheel drive and it will complete that same sprint in 5.5sec. Practicality is a particular strong point for the Model Y, with 854 litres of boot space in the back and 117 litres under the bonnet. Read our Tesla Model Y review 9. MG S5 EV 8 Design 8 Interior 9 Performance 8 Ride & Handling 8 Costs 8 Pros User interface is simple but effective Interior is practical, comfortable and quite materially appealing It's a C-SUV for a B-SUV price Cons ADAS tuning isn't as good as it might be No version will crack 300 miles in the real world BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £22.50 Monthly BIK at 40%: £45 Despite the busy segment the MG S5 EV finds itself in, the mid-sized crossover still manages to stand out against a slew of competent rivals. It's the Long Range car you will want to consider here. MG claims a range of 298 miles (or 211 miles in the less powerful Standard Range model). Our real-world tests returned an average of around 220 miles, which admittedly won't suit those with long commutes. It's quick, though. The S5 produces good usable performance from a single, rear-mounted electric motor, with 228bhp and 258lb ft on tap. That's enough to shift it from 0-62mph in a brisk 6.0sec. The real magic, though, is found on the inside. Top-spec Trophy cars get plush materials throughout, including a soft-touch dashboard, Alcantara and faux carbonfibre. Boot space comes in at 453 litres. There aren't many alternatives that can match the S5 for the price. 10. Kia EV3 8 Design 9 Interior 9 Performance 8 Ride & Handling 6 Costs 8 Pros Large battery for the class Excellent infotainment and usability Outstanding drivability and regen control Cons Awful ADAS Bland to drive Could be quicker BIK rate: 3% Monthly BIK tax at 20%: £16.50 Monthly BIK at 40%: £33 Kia's smallest electric car represents a great value option for company car customers, with costs as low as £16.50 per month. For that price, you will get a 58.3kWh battery with 270 miles of range. However, our pick is the larger 81.4kWh battery, which produces a far more competitive range of 375 miles. It will cost you £18 per month, or £38 on a 40% salary band. The EV3 is a supremely easy car to live with, with an intuitive user interface, crisp and clear infotainment and comfortable seats. There's wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto too. Boot space is similarly competitive, with 460 litres available with the seats in their regular position or 1250 litres with them folded down. Add in a 25-litre storage space below the bonnet and you will be hard pressed to find a car more practical at such low cost. When choosing the best electric company car, you should consider the following: Costs Why it matters: company cars are available with all types of powertrains, but varying tax rates mean some are far cheaper to buy than others. Electric: EVs are by far the cheapest options for company cars. They previously only commanded a 1% BIK tax banding, but that has since increased to 3%. Size Why it matters: too small and you won't have enough space. Your car might not be suited to your job role, especially for those with big loads to carry. Larger vehicles can accommodate a higher number of passengers. For example, the Kia EV9 can seat up to seven people - and it benefits from low BIK bandings. Range Why it matters: if you have a long commute, you will want a car that can travel long distances reliably. Electric cars will have varying driving ranges depending on weather conditions, outside temperatures and your driving style. Also equipment, such as climate control and heatpumps, will drain battery charge. However, many are now comfortably capable of traveling in excess of 300 miles without needing a charge. When reviewing company cars, we evaluate them against a range of practical, technical and user-focused criteria, as well as considering their monthly costs using the UK government's benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax percentage rates. 1. Efficiency Efficiency is important in any car, but company car drivers often have long commutes and will hit high mileages. When reviewing cars, we compare real-world efficiency measurements with the WLTP figures that are made up of laboratory tests. All the cars on this list are broadly efficient and long-legged. 2. Interior comfort and space We measure leg room, head room and storage space. Cabin noise levels at motorway speeds and ride comfort on various road surfaces are also assessed. 3. Performance We evaluate acceleration, braking and cornering across city, suburban and motorway routes. Overall speed is not important in this review but acceleration is, due to real-world scenarios such as getting up to speed for a motorway. 4. Technology Infotainment systems are tested for ease of use, responsiveness and smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). We evaluate ADAS features (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automated parking) to check if they have been configured to suit the UK's roads. 5. Build quality We inspect fit and finish, panel alignment and interior materials. We look and listen for any rattles, squeaks or cheap-feeling components that might annoy. 6. Practicality We assess ease of entry and exit, visibility, turning circle and parking aids. We also test features such as powered tailgates, storage compartments and child seat installation points (Isofix). 7. Ownership costs We review running costs, including benefit-in-kind tax rates and monthly costs, plus charging costs and speeds.

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Driving, Engines & Performance

Driving What is it like to drive? The chassis and suspension are identical to the standard Taycan and the estate is only 15kg heavier. And since we're talking about 2,310kg of mass, that weight difference is beyond negligible. So aside from the rear glass being further away in the rear view mirror, there's not much change for a driver to detect. Treat with extreme scepticism anyone who says the handling is more tail-happy because that 15kg extra mass is mostly over the rear axle. Advertisement - Page continues below Noted. Is this very much a sports estate then? It is. The Cross Turismo is a fairly racy crossover, and this is a fairly racy estate. However, the Cross Turismo is more languid, has detectable pitch and dive which we think actually suits the role of an estate car better. The Sport Turismo is slightly harder, sharper and more immediate. It has lovely steering and is immaculately behaved through corners, doing a very impressive job of disguising its mass and maintaining impressive body control over rough surfaces. Certainly crisper to drive than an Audi RS6. Does this only apply to the GTS? It applies to the GTS most of all, since this is – and probably always will be – the sportiest machine in the range. Not that other Sport Turismos drift that far from the template laid down by the GTS though. One thing about the GTS: it's the most rear-biased Taycan. Because of how the motors work, the GTS shuffles a greater proportion of torque to the rear axle than even the Turbo S. In fact as far as it can, it'll only send power to the rear axle, activating the front motor as it gets close to the fringes of grip. Advertisement - Page continues below Can you feel it? Not on the public road. But the Sport Turismo is a very well-balanced car. You'll get some understeer if you really hurl it along, but on the whole it grips tenaciously and behaves neutrally at the limit. You can up the ante with the Sport Turismo as well: £6,939 buys you the Dynamic Package that, alongside adjustable suspension, brings Porsche's phenomenal Active Ride technology which works to keep the body level no matter the forces working on it. It really impressed us in the Panamera, but the even lower centre of gravity here means it's not something we would consider a must fit. Same applies to the £7,230 PCCB ceramic brakes (which have gone almost £1,000 in the last four years). At least rear wheel steering is now standard, and helps give Taycans fitted with it crisper, more immediate turn-in. How's the powertrain? More polished than just about any other electric car out there, but where electric motors are concerned those margins are small. The background fake engine noise is actually pretty decent and the calibration of the throttle is brilliant – gives you faith in the car no matter what mode you're in or where you're driving. The GTS, as with all Taycans, is an effective deliverer of speed (0-62mph in 3.3secs, 100mph in 6.9secs – a whole second faster than the pre-facelift car). But that's with Launch Control's overboost function or keeping the push-to-pass button pressed. The rest of the time instead of 691bhp you have to make do with 597bhp. Don't stress. It's more than enough to put the hound in the boot on red alert.

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Interior Layout & Technology

Interior What is it like on the inside? A 405-litre boot that expands to 1,171 litres with the seats folded means two things. It's actually shrunk about 40 litres during the facelift and is about two-thirds the size of equivalent estates from Audi and Merc. You do notice. The tailgate's slope limits load capacity and the boot is actually quite narrow. Don't forget about the area under the nose though. Another 81 litres and just the place for the bulky cables. Advertisement - Page continues below There's more. Although this can be partially alleviated by raising the air suspension, elderly relatives aren't going to enjoy dropping down into the low seats – conversely, elderly dogs are less likely to need assistance into the boot and if you do wreck the 0.25Cd drag factor with a roof box you should be able to access it easily. But yeah, for good or ill, a roof height of 1,392mm (100mm lower than an RS6) does mean this is a low-slung car. How is it for those in the back? A bit dark and lacking in legroom. The front chairs are big and dominant in your view, but the Sport Turismo does at least benefit from an extra 36mm of headroom compared to the saloon. Two people will fit, the third will complain. And you'll be able to hear them because it will come as no surprise to learn that this is a very quiet and refined car. It's beautifully built and attractively designed and laid out inside. Advertisement - Page continues below Does the driver have the best of it then? Emphatically. It may be an estate, but this is still a Porsche - it's all about the driver. The GTS comes with Race-Tex Alcantara upholstery as standard. Have it, it's great. Lovely driving position, small, tactile steering wheel, you sit low and feel snug. On the whole the screens are good to interact with. The dash display is operated logically via the steering's clickwheel, while the twin-stacked central screens don't bury things too deep in the menus. Which means less jabbing to disable the speed bongs and lane keep. And you'll want to do that as Porsche's lane keep isn't that impressive. Can you have paddles? Funny you should ask, because yes, post-facelift you can now option paddles in a Taycan. No gearbox obviously, they're there to adjust the regen braking. At last. Until now Porsche has always insisted braking should be done with the brake pedal, but has now relented. And charged you £394 if you want it.

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Review 2025

Porsche claims the designers have 'sharpened the lines'. But they appear to have done so with blunt pencils. Not much has changed there. Still a good looking car – better than the Taycan saloon we reckon – so we'll forgive and move on. Reckon it's a shame the Sport Turismo doesn't get the full house Turbo GT motors? You're wrong in the head. 2.4-to-62mph is enough for anyone. Those are the most significant, yes. Look, the motors are more powerful but rather than list them all, let's focus on the mid-range GTS. Instead of 509bhp (589 with launch control) you now get 597bhp, rising to 691. So about a hundred more. Worth having. The Turbo S now peaks at 939bhp. Despite the bigger battery and more standard kit, weight is claimed to be down across the range, if only by 15kg. About 0.7 per cent. Be warned, the updates are geeky. Battery size has increased from 93kWh to 105. Together with some nifty software tweaks and upgrades this means it charges faster (up to 320kW rather than 270, so 10-80 per cent in 18 minutes) and goes further. Up to 35 per cent further in the case of the entry level Taycan Sport Turismo and its 404-mile range. Even the hairiest Turbo S claims 375 miles. Previously, peak power figures were only available with launch control. However now there's a 'push to pass' button in the centre of the rotary drive mode controller on the steering wheel, which gives you 10 seconds of maximum attack. Provided you've had the Sport Chrono kit fitted. Is the Cross Turismo still kicking around? It is, and you can read about it here. Clicking a link too much for you? Here's a precis: it's pretty much identical to the Sport Turismo but has a higher ride height and some extra body cladding to give it more of an off-road vibe. The Cross Turismo also has a couple of small adaptations to make it ride slightly more gently – new wheel mounts and softer anti-roll bars. Back to the Sport Turismo though – a rival to the Audi RS6 and BMW M5 Touring, then? Absolutely, provided you're happy to give up your V8 soundtrack as well as your hydrocarbons. The £119,200 GTS is the most driver focused Sport Turismo (20 per cent more roll stiffness than the Taycan Turbo S. That's a thing) and priced in line with both rivals. It's a sharper handling, better riding car than both as well, manages to feel small on the road when it absolutely isn't (measuring 4,963mm long by 1,966mm wide) and has a turn of pace neither can match. But as we all know, the engine and gearbox combo is a hard one to give up. Even if you could square that away, another problem is likely to rear its head – the Sport Turismo's lack of cabin space. Is it really that small inside? Unfortunately, yes it is. While it is very useful having an 81-litre frunk if you are doing a quick shop or just need somewhere to put your cables, the premise for the Sport Turismo is to double up as a family holdall. However, the boot only measures 405 litres, extending to 1,171 with the seats folded. This puts it in line with the VW Golf (381/1237 litres).If you are assuming all the space has been put into the rear seats, you're wrong. More on all this in the Interior tab. How about the rest of the driving environment? In terms of interior functionality and design, it's thoroughly thought through and every bit as impressive to use and live with as the regular Taycan. Great cabin design, top notch quality. It is low though and for that and a couple of other reasons we'd point you at a Cross Turismo if you have practicality in mind. The plastic cladding should shirk scuffs and it has a sense of ruggedness that's more likely to play better with family life. What does the Sport Turismo cost? £1,000 more than the equivalent four-door Taycan saloon, which makes it the better choice as far as we are concerned. There are five models in the range, with prices starting from £89,200 for the entry level 435bhp model, through to £163,200 for the flagship Turbo S. The sweet spot lies more down the range than up it. You've probably read the horror stories about depreciation already. We'll cover that in the Buying tab. How does it drive? As we said, the sweet spot is low down the range. The faster ones just bring bigger, shinier numbers. Chiefly the price. The GTS is quite compelling though. The adaptive three-chamber air springs and low centre of gravity combine to create a car with immense body control and family-friendly comfort levels. Although think control rather than cushioning as the general strategy. It's crisp, smooth and quiet, just with a fraction more emphasis on steering clarity and chassis response than other Taycans. But the margins of difference between the models are slight and seem only more so when the only way to tell the powertrains apart is from the level of shove in your back.
