Porsche just announced its updated Taycan for the model year 2025, and it comes with plenty of new features and under-the-hood changes. The new Taycan gets more range and more power thanks to the new rear-mounted motor and faster charging. A couple of in-cabin tweaks make the user experience better too.

The RWD model is snappier than its predecessor, doing 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. On the Turbo models, Porsche added a push-to-pass function that gives a momentary 70 kW boost. It lasts 10 seconds after a push of a button and can bring the total output to 938 hp.

This is partly due to the new rear-mounted motor giving the system an additional 80 kW output. The model also comes with a modified pulse inverter, bigger batteries, a new thermal management system, and a brand-new heat pump. This ensures better efficiency as well.

The large battery now ships with a 105 kWh unit, up from 93 kWh. This enables a 587 km range per charge, although this is internal data, so we would have to wait for third-party ratings such as the EPA.

Charging is also improved. In ideal conditions and when plugged into an 800V DC fast charger, the Taycan 2025 reaches 320 kW—a 50 kW increase from the previous model. A standard 150 kW DC/DC converter is also included and aims to optimize charging on 400V networks. The vehicle should be able to charge from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes.

Other notable changes to the specs sheet include an adaptive air suspension for all trims, whereas the new AWD variant gets Active Ride suspension as an option. Lane Change Assist, ambient lighting, Porsche Intelligent Range Manager, and a new cooling system are now all standard features.

New styling to the headlights and taillights ensures a fresh look in 2024 and a more aggressive-looking stance.

The instrument cluster and infotainment system are now revamped, and you can now switch between driving modes directly from the steering wheel.
