2020 Porsche Taycan - Electric Vehicle Guide
The 2020 Porsche Taycan belongs to a Porsche Taycan lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 7 model years, from 2020 to 2026. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion Taycan entirely. It is configured as all-wheel drive with an automatic (a2). This 2020 car is the earliest model year on record for the Porsche Taycan.
The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 4 brake fluid, Long Life battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 13 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 96 ft-lb.
