Electric Porsche Car Leasing

Why choose Porsche?

If you’re looking for a sports car, there are few better places to start than with a Porsche. Ever since this German firm produced its first car in 1948, it’s been known for bringing driving enjoyment to its increasingly loyal buyers.

But Porsche has successfully diversified over the years, introducing highly-acclaimed – and popular SUVs – as well as a range of hybrid models as it’s scaled up its electrified offensive. The next step of the puzzle is fully electric models, which Porsche kicked off with its Taycan.

One of the most desirable electric cars on the market, it launched as a saloon but has since expanded to increase more practical estate car body styles, as well as a host of different derivatives. Proving that EVs can still bring driving enjoyment, the Taycan is a fun and involving model to drive that successfully takes Porsche into the electric age.

What is the warranty and breakdown cover like on Porsche? What does it cover?

Porsche has some of the highest levels of build quality of any car firm, but should anything go wrong, you can be reassured by the firm’s three-year warranty, which covers all manufacturing defects. Unlike other premium brands, there’s no mileage limit, either, making the Taycan an ideal model for drivers doing high mileage.

On electric Porsches, the firm covers the high-voltage battery for eight years and 100,000 miles, in case of any material or manufacturing defects. The warranty applies worldwide too, such as if you take your car abroad.

You can also be reassured by Porsche Assistance lasting throughout the three-year warranty period, with a dedicated customer service team on hand in case of any breakdowns when on the road.

What are the key selling points for Porsche?

The way a Porsche drives remains the ultimate selling point, with this firm having a knack to produce rewarding and enjoyable-to-drive vehicles like few other manufacturers. That’s successfully been carried over to electric cars too, with the Taycan handling with agility and poise like no other EV on sale. It certainly feels like a true electric sports car.

Build quality remains a true asset for Porsche too, with the brand’s models being remarkably well-made. There’s an underlying quality that runs throughout its products and its electric models are no different. The materials used throughout the Taycan are superb, and it’s wonderfully assembled.

While Porsche might have introduced its first EV in 2020, it’s worth noting that the brand has been producing its hybrid models for more than a decade before this, and with the brand having a wide range of plug-in hybrid cars on sale today, it has more experience with electrified models than most, and that shows with how well engineered the Taycan is.

There is then, of course, the performance that its cars offer, particularly in the case of the Taycan. In the highest-spec 671bhp Turbo S model, the way this EV can gather pace is nothing short of staggering, with 0-60mph being dispatched in just 2.6 seconds. Even the ‘standard’ version is still able to manage this sprint in a little over five seconds.

Electric Porsche highlights. What’s in the range and what’s popular?

Currently, Porsche only sells one electric model – the Taycan, though it’s available in three different derivatives. We explain the highlights.

Taycan (saloon)

The original electric Porsche was the Taycan saloon, which arrived in early 2020 as a standout model that showcased a very positive future to come with Porsche and EVs.

It’s beautifully built and looks the part too with its elegant saloon silhouette, while there’s a superb range of derivatives on offer, ranging from the standard ‘Taycan’ to the flagship Turbo S.

The Taycan is also brimmed with technology, while its maximum 270kW charging speed is one of the highest of any electric car on sale today. With the larger ‘Performance Battery Plus’ equipped, it can also travel up to 314 miles on a charge.

Taycan Cross Turismo

Porsche expanded the Taycan line-up in 2021 with the Cross Turismo model, which really helped to expand the appeal of this electric car.

A sleeker estate car variant, this ‘Cross’ model gets SUV-inspired styling courtesy of extended wheel arch trims and redesigned front and lower rear aprons while adding 30mm of ground clearance over the saloon.

It’s not just about style, however, as Porsche also kits it out with a special ‘Gravel’ mode, which optimises the chassis, throttle and traction systems to give the driver more assistance when travelling on tougher terrain.

Taycan Cross Turismo

In 2022 the Taycan range expanded once again with the introduction of the Sport Turismo. A more dynamic version of the ‘Cross’ model, it does away with that car’s more rugged styling in favour of a more stylish and dynamic profile.

Available with the same choice of powertrains as the regular Taycan – including an entry-level rear-wheel-drive setup not offered on the Cross Turismo – it offers a sharp look, as well as improved headroom and boot space over the standard saloon.
