Porsche has recently unveiled the updated Taycan for the 2025 model year, boasting a host of enhancements both inside and under the hood. With improvements in range, power, and charging capabilities, the new Taycan promises an even more exhilarating driving experience for enthusiasts.
One of the standout upgrades is the introduction of a new rear-mounted motor, contributing to increased power output and efficiency. This enhancement, combined with a faster charging system, elevates the performance of the Taycan to new heights. Tweaks to the interior enhance user comfort and convenience.
Performance-wise, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model demonstrates enhanced agility, achieving a 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 4.5 seconds. For the Turbo models, Porsche has incorporated a push-to-pass function, delivering a temporary 70 kW boost for 10 seconds with the push of a button, elevating total output to an impressive 938 hp.
The upgraded rear-mounted motor adds 80 kW to the system’s output, complemented by a series of enhancements, including a modified pulse inverter, larger batteries, a new thermal management system, and a state-of-the-art heat pump. These improvements not only increase power but also ensure greater efficiency.
The Taycan now features a larger 105 kWh battery, up from 93 kWh, providing an extended range of 587 km per charge, though official ratings from third-party evaluators such as the EPA are pending.
Charging capabilities have also seen a significant boost, with the ability to reach 320 kW when connected to an 800V DC fast charger under optimal conditions, representing a 50 kW improvement over the previous model.
Moreover, a standard 150 kW DC/DC converter aims to optimize charging efficiency on 400V networks, enabling a remarkable 10-80% charge in just 18 minutes.
Notable additions to the specification sheet include adaptive air suspension across all trims, with the option of Active Ride suspension for the new all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant. Standard features now include Lane Change Assist, ambient lighting, Porsche Intelligent Range Manager, and an upgraded cooling system.
Visually, the Taycan receives refreshed styling elements in the form of redesigned headlights and taillights, giving the car a modern and more aggressive aesthetic for 2025.
Inside, the instrument cluster and infotainment system have been revamped for enhanced functionality, allowing drivers to seamlessly switch between driving modes directly from the steering wheel.
