- 2021 Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo
Okay so this right here is ultimately perhaps the biggest reason to get the '21 based on the data above. First off having had 3x total Taycan with only 1x of them having the SC, which offers the steering knob; that feature is gold. Everyone is different, but I tend to want to flip in/out of sport mode often -- and the ability to change modes without even having to really look own is amazing. If for no reason other than the steering mounted mode knob, Sport Chrono is worthwhile IMOThe 2020 had an MSRP about $2500 less than the 2021. The 2021 had Sport Chrono, PSCB, LKA, InnoDrive and Intel Range Manager. They both have ACC, Premium, 21" wheels (different versions, both nice).
Beyond that, the fact the '20 has ACC means you can add LKA/PID. I've got both on my 4CT added as FoD on a car that only came with FoD. Honestly, PID is pointless, and not worth the $ (many threads on this subject exist). But having that built into the '21 at no extra cost is nice; to me those arent deal breakers as the cost per month or 1x time charge for LKA is easy to justify. IRM is equally pointless as PID.
PSCB look nice, but not everyone likes the white calipers. But having owned EVs since 2012 now and doing 20k+ miles per year in them, I can say the surface coating will be nice to keep the rotors looking their best. If I were spec'ing out my own 4S I'd do PSCB, so again subjectively speaking I like that feature.
If you aren't bothered by the miles (see reply above mine; its true with EVs it may not matter) and if both have tires in good shape / similar wear remaining -- then the 2nd year of production, and the Sport Chrono knob, yeah I'd lean that way now
