Head to head
BMW i5 vs Porsche Taycan
A side-by-side comparison of published Australian specifications, including WLTP range figures.
The verdict
Both cars quote the same 515 km WLTP range, so range alone won’t separate them.

On price the BMW i5 starts about A$23,550 lower, while the quicker of the two off the line is the Porsche Taycan at 4.8s.
