Porsche's first electric car sees improvements in range and charging performance for the 2025 model year.
2025 Porsche Taycan 4S review: exactly what an electric Porsche should be MSRP $154,315.00 Score Details “In 4S form, the Porsche Taycan provides an excellent balance of performance and everyday usability.” Pros Cons Table of Contents One of the many things the Tesla Model S did when it arrived over a decade ago was put the established German luxury brands on notice.
The number of doors may say “sedan,” but the look says “sports car,” setting the Taycan apart from other luxury EVs like the Model S, Lucid Air, and Mercedes-Benz EQS. But look closely in profile view, and you’ll notice a strong resemblance to the Audi E-Tron GT, which shares the Taycan’s J1 platform.
2025 Porsche Taycan 4S: specs 2025 Porsche Taycan: tech The Taycan’s cabin is an impressive feat of screen packaging. A 16.8-inch curved display serves as the instrument cluster, while a 10.9-inch touchscreen serves as the main infotainment hub. In lieu of physical controls, Porsche installed an 8.4-inch touchscreen on the center console to handle functions like climate control and audio volume. The test car also had the optional 10.9-inch front-passenger screen.
Highway driving is also drama-free. Riding on standard air suspension, and with optional rear-axle steering to improve stability, the Taycan skimmed along the patchy pavement of New York State freeways like a powder blue cruise missile. In 4S form, the normal sporty car compromises of harsh ride quality and nervous steering just weren’t there. Other luxury EVs might be a tad more comfortable, but it’s a difference of degrees.
Porsche’s focus on performance means that, even with these changes, the Taycan falls short of the maximum range available from the likes of a Tesla Model S or Lucid Air. But the estimated 318 miles for single-motor models with the bigger battery pack is a big improvement over the Taycan’s previous best of 246 miles. Porsche expects even the raucous Turbo GT to return 269 miles.
