2026 Porsche Taycan2027 Ferrari Luce

Safety

The Luce has a standard front seat center airbag, which deploys between the driver and front passenger, protecting them from injuries caused by striking each other in serious side impacts. The Taycan doesn’t offer front seat center airbags.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the Luce. But it costs extra on the Taycan.

The Ferrari Luce’s 360 degree parking monitor has integrated front and rear camera washers, ensuring clear, all-weather visibility without the need for manual cleaning. In contrast, the Porsche Taycan lacks camera washers, requiring you to manually clean the cameras for optimal performance.

Both the Luce and the Taycan have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Warranty

The Luce comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Taycan’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Luce for 5 years and unlimited miles longer than Porsche pays for maintenance for the Taycan (7/unlimited vs. 2/24,000).

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Luce has larger tires than the Taycan (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. F:225/55R19 & R:275/45R19).

The Luce’s 265/35R23 front and 315/30R24 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Taycan’s standard 55 series front and 45 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Luce has standard 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Taycan. The Taycan’s largest wheels are only 21-inches.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires optional on the Luce can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Taycan doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Luce’s wheelbase is 2.3 inches longer than on the Taycan Cross Turismo (116.6 inches vs. 114.3 inches).

Chassis

For excellent aerodynamics, the Luce has standard flush composite headlights. The Taycan has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The Luce uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Taycan doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the Luce’s rear seats recline. The Taycan’s rear seats don’t recline.

Cargo Capacity

The Luce has a much larger cargo volume than the Taycan Cross Turismo with its rear seat up (21.1 vs. 18.8 cubic feet).

Pressing a button automatically lowers or raises the Luce’s rear seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The Taycan doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

Ergonomics

The Luce’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Taycan’s cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Luce to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The Taycan doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

The Luce has standard front air conditioned seats and offers them optionally in the rear. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The Taycan doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

Both the Luce and the Taycan offer optional massaging front seats. The Luce also offers optional massaging rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging rear seats aren’t available in the Taycan.

The Luce has a 115-volt a/c outlet in the cargo area, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Taycan doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
