Keep reading to learn what it’s like to own a Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo in Austin.
The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Model Essentials
Porsche’s engineers clearly didn’t think that the standard Taycan Sport Turismo had enough power so the obvious solution was to make a GTS version. The low, sweeping design is perfect for the way the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo handles while still providing a comfortable amount of space for four to five people and some cargo. But unlike other Turismo models, you’ll probably want to keep this low rider on the road only.
Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Performance
The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo model gives drivers Sport Mode, which drops the car even lower to the ground for even better cornering than the Cross Turismo. The recalibrated air suspension also adds to the sporty handling that will make you forget you’re in a modern day station wagon. Despite the power that the wheels can put to the ground, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo grips the road giving added reassurance that you can take on whatever the Hill Country or highway has in store.

Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Repair in Austin
Being that the Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is brand new, it’s impossible to say if the model will have any glitches that led to common repairs. Based on the other Taycan models, the GTS Sport Turismo should be a solidly built EV that won’t require repairs right out of the dealership.
One thing owners will need to keep an eye on is battery performance. The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is built with a 93.4 kWh lithium-ion that should hold up well for at least eight years. At that point Porsche estimates the battery should still be able to hold 70% of its charging capacity or more. If the capacity drops lower before the eight-year mark it warrants a trip to the shop.
Common Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Maintenance in Austin
The Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo may be well into the six-figure range, but at least maintenance isn’t as frequent with an electric vehicle. With no oil to check or gas engine components, maintenance doesn’t need to start until the 10,000 mile mark. At that point maintenance should include:
- Rotating the tires
- Replacing the cabin air filter
- Checking the battery
- Checking the brakes
- Replacing the brake fluid
- Checking the wiper blades and fluid level
- Performing a general safety inspection
