The 2025 Porsche Taycan is the first substantial overhaul for the electric sedan (and wagon). It includes significantly more battery capacity, longer range, faster charging, and quicker acceleration across the board, along with some minor visual updates.
The Taycan's 2025 update is mostly focused on the things you can't see, including upping the energy content in both the base and larger Performance Battery Plus battery packs by 16 percent to 82.3 and 97.0 kilowatt-hours versus 71.0 and 83.7 kilowatt-hours before.
No surprise that this increases range substantially, but it's not only the battery pack. There are also a number of aerodynamic and efficiency tweaks to boost the Taycan's range figures by just over 20 percent to as much as 35 percent, depending on model. U.S. EPA figures aren't out yet, but we expect range figures of 250 to 325 miles.
There are some minor exterior changes, such as available HD matrix LED headlights with 32,000 individual pixels. Those allow for intricate shaping of the light pattern, but U.S. models won't have their full functionality.
The available 10.9-inch screen on the passenger's side (a $1490 option) has a filter to block it from the driver's view, so it now allows video streaming while in motion. But it's also sensitive to the angle that the passenger is viewing it from, and it doesn't look as crisp or vivid as the center screen.
A new rear motor makes as much as 107 more horsepower while also shedding a claimed 23 pounds. Peak power ranges from 402 horsepower for the base, rear-drive Taycan to 938 horsepower for the Turbo S. Acceleration to 60 mph improves to the mid-four-second range for the base car and to the very low 2s on the quick end of the spectrum.
There's also the new 1019-hp Turbo GT model that launches for 2025 and has already set records at the Nürburgring and Laguna Seca. We'll review that one separately.
DC fast-charging rates are also improved significantly; the peak climbs from 225 to 270 kilowatts with the base battery pack and from 270 to 320 kilowatts with the larger pack. In an initial test we did on a prototype, we saw charging-speed gains on the order of 50 percent.
Base models get a new damper setup, with air springs and adaptive dampers standard. And there's a new active-suspension option—called Porsche Active Ride, it's a $7140 upcharge—that has a hydraulic pump at each corner that continuously adds or subtracts force based on road and driver inputs.
The updated Taycans will be on sale in the U.S. this summer.
