Porsche Taycan in Cyprus
The Taycan is the Porsche that suits this island best: fully electric, so road tax is nothing a year, and short Cyprus distances mean the range is never the question it is elsewhere. It drives like a Porsche first and an electric car second, which is exactly why people choose it over the alternatives.
Which versions are worth importing
The range runs from the rear-drive Taycan through 4S and GTS to the Turbo and Turbo S, with the Cross Turismo estate alongside. Real-world range differs more between battery versions than between years, so the battery version is chosen first and the trim second.
Battery comes before trim on this car. The larger Performance Battery Plus is what makes a Taycan relaxed rather than merely quick, and on an island where nobody drives four hundred kilometres in a day it still changes how often you think about charging. The eleven or twenty-two kilowatt onboard charger decides how useful a home wallbox will be, and the Cross Turismo adds ground clearance and a usable boot without changing the way it drives.
Buying a used Porsche Taycan: what matters
On a used Taycan the price is set by the battery and the specification, not the year. We request the battery health figure before purchase, confirm the equipment against the chassis number, and check which software features actually transfer to the new owner.
The specification is confirmed by chassis number and attached to the report, because on this model the options list is most of the price difference. We check which software functions are enabled on the car itself and which sit with the seller's account, since not all of them travel. The service file is read for the thermal and charging hardware rather than for mileage — that is where a Taycan's real history shows.
Common mistakes when buying one
The first is reading the quoted range instead of the battery report — after a few years the real figure differs, and it shows in the data rather than the advert. The second is assuming every software feature transfers with the car. The third is ignoring the hardware revision: cars of the same year carry different charging electronics. The fourth is comparing an advert price with a landed one: on an electric car the shipping is the same, but the road tax you will not pay changes the five-year figure entirely.
Where we source from and why
We take the Taycan from the UK only. A British car arrives with the European CCS2 connector and charges at local stations as it is, and the Porsche factory warranty carries over to Cyprus while it has time left. A Japanese-market car is not covered and needs an adapter, so for this model the route is settled.
The local market offers the Taycan occasionally and never to a specification: what stands on a forecourt is what someone else once ordered. Importing turns that around — the battery version, the colour and the options are chosen first, and the search starts from them.
Price and what ownership costs
Ownership is where the Taycan argues for itself: road tax is zero against fifteen hundred a year for a petrol SUV of the same money, electricity replaces fuel, and regenerative braking stretches consumables. Servicing follows the Porsche schedule rather than mileage guesswork, and the schedule is shorter than owners expect.
Cars in stock in Cyprus show their price in the listing. To order, the figure is one landed price — car, shipping, duty and VAT where applicable, registration and our work — fixed in the agreement with the terms before anything is paid.
How a commission works
The battery report, the specification and the ownership history are checked before your shortlist. One agreement then carries the purchase, the shipping, customs, registration and plates.
Tell us what the Taycan must have and what you will not give up, and the search starts there. Other models are gathered on the Porsche page, together with the cars in stock in Cyprus. Which of Britain, Japan or Australia we use depends on where the right car is.
