2025 Taycan 4S
Country flag
Coming from an Audi etron GT I have to say in my two days with my new 2025 4S it’s really a better car. All the little nice things with Porsche are just more intuitive and nicer.

Can you explain the differences?

I know there are small details that Audi cuts corners on, like the hood is not clear coated, but the Taycan is

2025 Taycan 4S
Country flag
Being able to change drive settings easier.. I don’t miss having physical buttons as once everything is set I don’t feel need to change. The styling and driving dynamics are very impressive. I am not knew to the brand as I’ve had a couple 911s in past, but pricing has gotten crazy. I was going to go with a 25 S or RS Etron, but glad I found this 4S instead. In fairness I haven’t driven a new etron and I know it’s improved. I feel Taycan gets more attention and gets more compliments than my etron did. Could be the awesome Ice Grey color and 21” RS wheels. Final note it’s more than fast enough. I think a Turbo would be more than you really need on the streets.

Taycan CT 4 - 2026

The facelift 4S is a Turbo from a hardware standpoint. So if you ever decide that you need more power you have the option to increase the power by over 50%.

I think the biggest differences are in the interior quality. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the e-tron feels kinda cheap inside. The Taycan is in a different league and feels more premium.

The drivers setting is poorly executed on the Etron GT. This has been solved with the Facelift RS E-Tron GT Performance that has a button on the steering wheel like the Sport Chrono switch.

Audi is a reskinned Taycan, but it doesn't get the respect by the public

Great point agree 100%. Interior is nicer. The etron is nice and I had full leather pkg, but even my Taycan without it feels a little more premium. Maybe it’s just cleaner. I also think the interior storage space is better in the Taycan.

Taycan is a tighter interior with better materials, more solid. It was a huge mistake to use black gloss plastic in the Etron GT interior

it’s Ice Grey actually. Looks whiteish in certain light, but changes colors depending on light.

Even better.
I heavily considered ice grey but chose dolomite, which i still love but the nod goes to ice grey.
Putting my deposit down now on a '28 ice grey gts?

Good call if Porsche is still making Taycan in 2028. i was looking at a cpo 23 GTS in Ice Grey with mission e wheels in ice grey looked nice, but glad I went with a 25. My iphone pics are not really showing the color well. I need to see if some dusk shots work.
