There are two models available right now, the 2022 Porsche Taycan and the 2021 Lexus LS Series. Supporters of each brand will claim that their respective cars are better. Read on to figure out which car is more suitable for you!
Design & Style
The Porsche Taycan is 10.7 inches shorter than the Lexus LS Series, so the Taycan is easier to maneuver and park in small spaces. The design of the Porsche Taycan is more than just its style. The Taycan comes with aerodynamic coefficients of drag, which is from .22 to .26 Cd. This is lower than the Lexus LS series and other sports cars as well. Having a more efficient exterior will help the interior remain quieter and that Taycan can have a better fuel mileage. The Porsche Taycan has more headroom and more front legroom than the LS Series. The Taycan also has a much larger trunk so you can store bulky cargo. The LS Series does not come with folding rear seats.
Technology & Safety
Both the Porsche Taycan and the LS Series come with child safety locks. This prevents children from opening the rear doors when you are driving, thereby preventing any serious accidents. The Taycan has power child safety locks, so the drive can activate them from the driver’s seat. The LS Series has child locks that need to be engaged at each rear door using a manual switch. Both cars have the standard airbags, rearview cameras, traction control, electronic stability systems and blind spot warning systems. The Taycan has a night vision system while the LS Series does not offer a night vision system. A reliable car will save its owner time and money. The Taycan is rated as more reliable than the LS Series.

The Taycan Performance Plus electric motor has a horsepower of 469 and the torque is 263 lbs.-ft. The Taycan Performance Plus electric motor is found to be faster than the LS 500 3.4 turbo V6.
