When Porsche revamps its model, it may not go deep into the visual changes, but when it comes to the mechanical components, it's not kidding. This is proven by the Taycan 2025, a model that may seem familiar at first glance, but hides revolutionary improvements under its elegant exterior.
Porsche Taycan Turbo S for 2025 represents the pinnacle of technological progress and engineering mastery. With a new output of 938 horsepower (hp) when using controlled acceleration, a notable increase from the previous 750 horsepower, Porsche proves that it intends to remain at the forefront of the ultra-powerful electric sedan market. This extraordinary power enables the Taycan Turbo S to accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h (60 mph) in incredible 2.3 seconds, putting it on top as Porsche's most powerful road car to date, surpassing the 918 Spyder's 887 hp.
With new engines occupying the same dimensions as the previous model but bringing revised internal components for more power, Porsche not only brings greater power, but also improves efficiency and reach. Although official EPA figures for the new Taycan have yet to be released, tests by our partner website InsideEVs have shown the Taycan 4S to be capable of up to 300 miles of range in less-than-ideal weather conditions, suggesting a significant improvement in real-world range.
A new battery with an improved chemical composition of the cells also represents an important step forward. Gross capacity of larger battery Performance Battery Plus increased from 93.4 kWh to 105 kWh, and the net or usable capacity is 98.6 kWh. Basic models have a battery with a gross capacity of 89 kWh and a net capacity of 83.6 kWh. Both batteries are lighter than their predecessors, with the base battery offering roughly the same capacity as the previous upgrade. But the battery is 10 kilograms lighter. Porsche has improved the fast charging system, enabling faster charging with a power of up to 322 kW even with a 35% battery capacity. The new model also enables faster identification and authentication at charging stations and displays information about the actual capacity of the charging station. But it can still do slow 11 kW charging and 22 kW at home.
Porsche has also improved the Taycan's energy regeneration capability. Where previous models with all-wheel drive could regenerate up to 290 kW, the new model enables up to 400 kW. They have also improved the threshold for the transition between regenerative and friction braking, which is now higher, up to 0.497gs from the previous 0.3g.
Pricing for the entry-level 2025 Taycan starts at around $101,395 (about €90,200), up from $92,550 (about €82,300) for the previous version. At the top of the offer is located Turbo S Cross Turismo for $213,695 (approx. EUR 190,000), a significant jump of $14,695 (approx. EUR 13,100) over its predecessor.
