Foundational Safety: A Look at Porsche Taycan Frame Materials
The Taycan frame is a thoughtful combination of aluminum and steel. More specifically, hot-formed and cold-formed steel surround every Taycan passenger on all sides, including A and B Pillars and the top and undercarriage of the vehicle.
The hood is composed of a solid aluminum sheet that performs exceptionally well in a Porsche Taycan crash test. By folding predictably, this sheet can simultaneously absorb energy, reduce cabin intrusion, and mitigate pedestrian injuries.
Lastly, the SUV's shock absorber mounts are made of forged aluminum to prevent structural collapse, even under extreme stress.

How the Porsche Brand Promotes Safety Throughout Its Lineup
Most people know Porsche vehicles for their legendary performance and speed, but this luxury nameplate is also extremely safety-focused. In fact, its core engineering philosophy inextricably links performance and safety.
Porsche engineers design their vehicles to help reduce the risk of collisions, not just keep you safe as they're happening. Wondering how they accomplish this goal? The Taycan and the entire Porsche family rest on a foundation of superior chassis balance, precision steering, and high-speed stability – all of the ingredients necessary to prevent your car from losing traction in the first place.

Porsche Taycan Safety Ratings by Year
It’s more difficult than most people realize to find safety ratings for performance sports cars, but not because they're unsafe to drive. Leading safety experts like the NHTSA and IIHS simply don’t crash-test these niche vehicles because of the expense of purchasing them.
That said, we can still confidently report that Porsche Taycan safety, quality, reliability, and overall scores are high. For a detailed exploration of Taycan ratings since its 2020 launch, scroll to the chart below, where we've organized each year's KBB®, Consumer Reports, Euro NCAP, and JD Power tallies.
