2022 Porsche Taycan vs. 2022 Audi e-tron

The 2022 Porsche Taycan has a lot to offer. But in addition to all of the attractive aspects you'll see here, it goes a step further by offering buyers a money-saving option. It qualifies for the federal EV tax credit! What's more, compared to some Audi and Tesla models, the Taycan's starting price is surprisingly lower. All of that said, this vehicle provides, in no uncertain terms, the type of Porsche luxury, performance, and aesthetics you've come to expect. With futuristic styling, a luxurious interior, and numerous standard features, it runs rings around other electric vehicles.

There is no denying that the Audi e-tron feels expensive and upscale. With a luxury packed interior, sublime ride quality, and an arguably handsome exterior design, the stylish sport back model is the envy of many.

Design & Style

The exterior style of the Taycan achieves the perfect balance between a totally modern appearance and the traditional Porsche design. In a surprising number of colors, the exterior paint job is impressively customizable. Buyers can also change the wheel design as they wish, to achieve a sportier, more aggressive look. Regarding the interior, it comes as no surprise that it's exactly what you would expect from a high performance, high tech luxury sedan. With top-notch materials, the overall finish and fit are the envy of the industry. With a curved digital driver display, it is unmistakably modern. An obvious air of Porsche tradition is apparent in the overall aesthetics.

In the case of the 2022 Audi e-tron, it steers clear of polarizing, pretentiously futuristic looks and is perfect for those looking for a luxury crossover EV. It is distinguishable from its competition courtesy of its huge grill and signature chiseled profile.

Technology & Safety

A list of standard features that is undeniably impressive improves on the standard packages typical of most of today's luxury vehicles. This is Porsche's first all-electric model. For the 2022 Porsche Taycan's vehicle information and entertainment center, natural language voice commands can be used. For slightly faster battery charging, a new temperature management system proves beneficial.

The 2022 Audi e-tron comes with a virtual cockpit complete with 12.3-inch instrument display and the usual center console arrangement. Dual touchscreen capability typical of high-end audio models is included. The vehicle has an overall five-star safety rating thanks to its lower center of gravity, well-designed crumple zones, reinforced cabin cell, and more.

Performance

When you purchase a 2022 Porsche Taycan, you're getting a high tech, upscale luxury automobile. To add a boost of power, launch control comes standard. You'll appreciate the athletic handling and quick acceleration - especially for a sedan this size. For its active suspension management and adaptive air suspension, the GTS has sportier tuning. An impressive 590 hp is available on the GTS.

The 2022 Audi e-tron churns out a combined 414 pound per feet of torque with 355 hp during normal driving conditions. When in "sport mode," this is boosted to 490 pound per feet and 402 hp. It only takes 5.5 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph.

The Bottom Line

Providing an electric driving experience that is second to none, today's 2022 Porsche Taycan evokes intense emotion.  It is available in three body shapes, each more impressive than the last.

The 2022 Audi e-tron is a nice automobile. Compared to some competitors, its maximum driving range is not as impressive, there is limited cargo space in some variants, and, considering its range and battery size deficit, it might be considered too expensive.
