What's New for 2025. The Taycan receives a mild styling refresh for 2025, which includes subtle updates to the front bumper, headlamps, fenders, and taillights. More significant changes lie under the car's sheetmetal. Folks with range anxiety will be excited to hear that Porsche has made some adjustments in the name of improving DC fast-charging speed. We managed to charge our test car from 8 to 80 percent in just under 17 minutes with a peak charging rate of 327 kilowatts. Porsche has upgraded the batteries, installing an 83.6-kWh pack as standard and offering a Performance battery pack that's 97.0 kWh in capacity—the latter of which is also lighter than the pack it replaces. A new rear-mounted electric motor has shed some pounds too, and Porsche says the new motor is also more efficient. The combination of larger batteries and less curb weight is sure to improve driving-range estimates, but we're still waiting on official numbers from the EPA. Porsche has also added a high-performance Taycan Turbo GT to the lineup, with 1019 horsepower, up to 340 miles of driving range, and a $231,995 price tag. The production version with the optional Weissach package recently set a lap record at Laguna Seca. Inside, the infotainment system gains Apple CarPlay+, which places climate controls within the Apple part of the system's interface so you can adjust the temperature without exiting that part of the system. Other infotainment enhancements include better route-planning options based on the battery's state of charge.
