TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) voted the Porsche Taycan as “Canadian Electric Car of the Year” for 2026.
“We are honoured that the Canadian Car of the Year jury recognized the Taycan as an outstanding choice this year,” said Trevor Arthur, President & CEO of Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd. “This all-electric sports car offers a winning combination of performance, efficiency, to surprising practicality that have always been hallmarks of the brand.”
The first all-electric model from Porsche proposes standard all-wheel drive with power starting from 536 hp for the Taycan 4S to 1,019 hp for the Taycan Turbo GT. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h can be achieved in 3.7 seconds with the optional Launch Control feature on the former and as little as 2.2 seconds on the latter. The Taycan 4S is offered at a starting price of $136,200 for the sedan, and $143,1000 for the Cross Turismo bodystyle.
