Porsche Taycan electric lease deals

Leasing the new Porsche Taycan (2024 model) in the UK

Until 2020 it appeared that only Tesla, with their Model S and Model X, would be producing luxury and high-performance EVs. And then things changed when Porsche announced that their sports car line-up would include a zero-emission range. While some questioned, or doubted, this decision from the German manufacturer, the amazing feedback and demand has proved otherwise.

Indeed, the original Taycan Sports Saloon was supplemented with a further two models – the Cross Turismo and the Sport Turismo. The Taycan proved to be incredibly important between 2020 – 2023, with both personal and business leasing customers enjoying this in droves.

And after nearly three successful years, the German engineers announced that in 2024 they would be updating the popular line-up, while adding a new Porsche Macan Electric option too. As the website states – “overfeel” – the overwhelming feeling of sitting in an amazing electric car.

The group decided to update the Taycan for 2024, with a need to make slight adjustments such as – driving dynamics (racetrack mode and push-to-pass), headlights (new matrix LED and HD matrix lights), design (subtle adjustments and alterations), performance (improved battery and speed) and driver experience (better interaction and engagement). At the heart of the new Taycan is E-Performance, with electromobility now being at the heart of the group.

And with big competition from the Audi GT, Lotus Eletre and Emeya, Rolls Royce Spectre and Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, the product needs to be on point.                       
For 2024 UK customers can still select from three body styles including:

•  Sport Saloon – from £86,500 for a standard Taycan through to £161,400 for Turbo S;

Has the Taycan been popular in the UK? 

The electric Porsche proved to be immensely popular at launch, with the more American-style Tesla only fulfilling so many customers. The success of the Taycan was immediate, with long lead time until early 2023, the success of the product was apparent. But at the same time, EV customers in the UK are focused more heavily on elements like battery range and charging times, which are now crucial to enjoying the EV lifestyle.
