The Porsche Taycan first came out in 2019, which means it’s now a five-year-old electric sports sedan ripe for a mid-cycle facelift. Thankfully, that’s exactly what the German sportscar manufacturer has done with its electric vehicle (EV) offering, and the 2025 Porsche Taycan does come with a few surprises.
For one, there’s now a power increase across the board. Still available in sedan, wagon (Sport Turismo), and rugged wagon (Cross Turismo), only the power figures of the range-topping Turbo S have been revealed, which is pegged at 939 horses. This makes it the most powerful Porsche model in history, and this model even sprints from 0-100 kph in just 2.4 seconds (down from 2.8 seconds). At the other end of the spectrum is the base Taycan, whose power outputs haven’t been revealed yet, but it can supposedly make the 0-100 kph sprint in just 4.8 seconds (down from 5.4 seconds).
At the same time, the WLTP estimated range has now been increased to 630 km for the Turbo S and 678 km for the base Taycan. This is thanks to a few aerodynamic and efficiency enhancements, but mostly due to the much larger 105 kWh battery versus the previous 93 kWh. To take into account the bigger battery, the DC charging speed of its 800-volt architecture has been increased from 270 to 320 kW. Additionally, the system can now handle that fast charge rate much longer, which now lets the Taycan’s battery achieve a 10 to 80 percent charge in just 18 minutes.
Porsche isn’t just for straight-line speed, but for handling as well. It’s where the brand built its identity, and with the 2025 Porsche Taycan, adaptive air suspension is equipped as standard. However, the optional Porsche Active Ride takes this up a notch by making the Taycan more comfortable and flatter through the corners. The system can independently adjust each wheel to keep the car level across different road imperfections and corners, making the new Taycan as comfortable as it is agile.
As mentioned, aerodynamics have also been improved in the 2025 Porsche Taycan, and that’s evident in the car’s cleaner aesthetic–albeit one that minutely improves the car’s looks. The new Taycan gets slimmer HD-Matrix LED headlights to emphasize the car’s width, while the front bumpers have been restyled with vertical side air intakes. Porsche also added their new “Turbonite” accents and black Porsche badging to the range-topping Turbo S, which is the brand’s way of aesthetically distinguishing its range-topping Turbo variants. Finally, there’s a new LED light strip that integrates the Porsche lettering in a three-dimensional manner and a new set of colors and alloy wheels.
The interior also sees very minor improvements in terms of aesthetics. That’s because most of the changes are centered around its tech features, in which the displays now have revised software. Apple CarPlay now has a deeper integration into the system as opposed to being displayed in the main Porsche Communication Management infotainment screen. Also, the main infotainment and optional passenger side screens now allow video streaming. Finally, there’s a new stalk mounted in the steering column for the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and two new leather-free interior options.
The 2025 Porsche Taycan will head to dealers worldwide as soon as spring 2024, which means that a Philippine launch could happen sometime this year or early 2025.
