I’m considering either a Taycan or Audi RS ETron GT to replace my KIA EV6 GT in due course.

The things I want include
Head up display
Lane keep assist and adaptive cruise (ie the car will basically drive itself on motorways, A roads)
360 camera
Remote heating and cooling

(These are all standard on the KIA)

I think that if you go for carbon vorsprung on the Audi you get all of that, but I’m struggling to work out which option packs to look for in a used Taycan to cover these features.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

Not many things 'packs' on Porsches, so most will be individual options.

You'll be able to do the remote climate control on all of them with the departure time function.
360 parking was an option on the 1st gen (I'm not sure on the 2nd gen).
Innodrive is your self driving option, but as long as it has adaptive cruise as an option, it can be purchased through the Porsche website and added to your car as a software update.
Head up display is an option as well (I'm not sure it's as relevant as it would be in the more minimalist EVs, as you would sit lower in a Porsche and you have the curved LED screen that displays the important stuff. It can be configured in different ways as well).

Got to be careful with cars without Innodrive and just adaptive as not all can be upgraded. Think you need to have specified the blind spot warning also (not a cheap option) to be able to upgrade as additional sensors. A dealer can confirm with a vin number. It does work superbly well though and had it on both of mine.

Thanks everyone

Yes the lane keep and adaptive cruise feature on my KIA is brilliant so I definitely would want that on a Taycan

I’ll check with a dealer as suggested
