Porsche’s new EV “Taycan” 2025 model “Taycan Turbo S” will be the most powerful and fastest production car model in Porsche’s history

Porsche announced an improved model of its new electric vehicle (EV) “Taycan” on February 7, 2024. Reservations for the Japanese model also began on the same day at Porsche Japan.

About the new Porsche EV “Taycan” 2025 model

The Taycan has been in production since 2019, but it’s been on the market for quite some time without a major update. Now, for the 2025 model year, it’s finally getting a major facelift, offering more power, more technology, better electrical hardware, and better performance. Performance has always been a priority, and every model in the Taycan lineup accelerates faster than its successor. The base rear-wheel-drive model sees the biggest performance improvement, reaching 0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds—0.6 seconds faster than the previous version. The top-of-the-line Taycan Turbo S sees its 0-100 km/h time drop by 0.4 seconds, to 2.4 seconds.

With new front- and rear-end styling featuring headlights and taillights, Porsche’s exterior designers have further refined the Taycan’s sleek and pure design. The new front fenders and flat headlights further emphasize the Taycan’s width. The new headlights, featuring high-resolution HD Matrix technology and sophisticated optics, illuminate at night with a four-light graphic typical of Porsche. The Porsche logo in the rear light strip has a three-dimensional glass-look design , and the illuminated version, available for the first time, features animations when entering and starting off. The Turbo and Turbo S are distinguished from other models by the accent color Turbo Night, both on the exterior and interior.

Inside the new Taycan, the instrument cluster, center display, and optional passenger-side display feature an optimized user interface with additional functionality. A steering wheel mode switch is standard. Taycan models equipped with the Sport Chrono Package and Performance Battery Plus feature a dedicated push-to-pass button on the mode switch.

A new control stalk located behind the left side of the steering wheel allows for more intuitive operation of driver assistance systems, Apple CarPlay is more fully integrated into the vehicle’s displays and functions, and a new in-car video feature enables video streaming on the center and passenger-side displays.

The new “Push to Pass” function in the Sport Chrono Package allows the driver to access a boost of up to 70 kW for 10 seconds, depending on the model, at the touch of a button. The increased acceleration is primarily due to increased system output. For example, the base Taycan now boasts 60 kW more power than before, while the Taycan Turbo S now boasts an additional 140 kW of launch control. This increases the system output of the top model to 700 kW/952 PS.

Depending on body type and engine, the range has increased by 175 km (35%) to up to 678 km (WLTP). The upgraded Taycan not only requires fewer charges over long distances than its predecessor, but also charges faster. The total capacity of the Performance Battery Plus has increased from 93 kWh to 105 kWh.

While it has been made up to 15 kg lighter, the standard equipment is even more extensive than before. Ambient lighting, heated front seats, Porsche Intelligent Range Manager (PIRM), a wireless charging smartphone tray, electric charging ports on the driver’s and passenger’s sides, a drive mode switch, and Power Steering Plus are standard equipment. In Japan, the Taycan 4S comes standard with the Performance Battery Plus.
