Porsche has pulled the covers off the 2025 Taycan, revealing what’s technically a mid-cycle update rather than an all-new generation. This refresh packs notable performance and design upgrades for both the sedan and Sport Turismo wagon, especially in the popular GTS and new Taycan 4 trims. However, this comes with a significant price increase that could make even die-hard fans blink.
The Power-Packed GTS Gets a Boost
The Taycan GTS, the sportier model of the lineup, now delivers an impressive 690 horsepower with its overboost function, up a solid 100 hp from its predecessor. Thanks to the standard Sport Chrono package’s push-to-pass button, drivers can unleash an additional 93 hp for ten seconds, shaving 0.4 seconds off its 0-60 mph time. Now, the GTS sedan and Sport Turismo wagon sprint to 60 mph in a mere 3.1 seconds, with the sedan completing the quarter mile in just 11.1 seconds. Porsche has also enhanced the driving experience with the Electric Sport Sound profile from the Turbo S, adding an auditory punch for thrill-seekers.
For this extra performance, buyers will pay a premium. The 2025 Taycan GTS sedan starts at $149,895, while the Sport Turismo variant is priced at $151,795—both factoring in the $1,995 destination fee. This makes the GTS models nearly $9,000 pricier than last year.
Introducing the All-Wheel Drive Taycan 4 Sedan
Porsche has also expanded the Taycan 4, which now includes a sedan version alongside the previously exclusive Cross Turismo. The Taycan 4 offers 402 hp with the standard battery or 429 hp with the upgraded pack. With launch control, it can reach 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. To optimize efficiency, the Taycan 4 can operate in rear-wheel-drive mode by decoupling the front motor when extra traction isn’t needed, which it re-engages seamlessly within milliseconds.
The Taycan 4 sedan is priced at $105,295, and Porsche includes an adaptive air suspension, matrix LED headlights, and a 10-speaker sound system as standard features. New color options like Slate Grey Neo, Pale Blue, and Purple Sky add a fresh aesthetic touch for 2025.
An Expansive Lineup with Premium Pricing
Porsche now offers 13 variants of the Taycan, ranging from the base model at $101,395 to the flagship Turbo GT that can reach a staggering $286,845 fully loaded. But while the Taycan lineup expands, Porsche faces a sales slump. Global deliveries for the Taycan dropped 50% in the first nine months of 2024, with the company citing weak demand in China and the transition to this updated model as reasons.
With its enhanced performance, new features, and premium price points, the 2025 Taycan lineup aims to rekindle interest in Porsche’s EV. But with prices creeping into supercar territory, Porsche’s refreshed Taycan will face a tougher battle to stay competitive in the fast-evolving electric luxury market.
