Porsche has given the new Taycan a particularly extensive update. The variants of the German automaker's first all-electric sports car have more power and range, and accelerates quicker.
Best of all, it charges faster. Style-wise, Porsche has also sharpened the design of the new Taycan, more strongly evident in its Turbo variants. All Taycan versions feature an even more extensive standard equipment list and come with the latest generation of the Porsche Driver Experience with an improved display and control concept.
There will be three body variants of the new Taycan, all featuring numerous modifications: the Taycan sports sedan, the versatile Taycan Cross Turismo (available with an off-road package), and the sporty-yet-practical Taycan Sport Turismo. In each body variant, four powertrain options are available either in rear- and all-wheel drive configuration.
The latest variants of the new Taycan will arrive at Porsche dealers in the second quarter of 2024.
"We ushered in the new era of e-mobility with the Taycan at the end of 2019. It immediately proved to be a game changer and innovative pioneer in the e-vehicle segment. We are now continuing this success story with the extensively updated Taycan. The model line has reached new heights in terms of performance, with exceptional driving dynamics and driving pleasure. At the same time, we were able to significantly improve efficiency, range, day-to-day usability and comfort," said head of the model line, Kevin Giek.

DEPENDING on the body variant and engine, the new Taycan's range has increased to up to 678 kilometers, which is an additional 175 km.
Even higher performance
All new Taycan variants accelerate much faster than their predecessors. Two examples from both ends of the portfolio: as sports sedans, the Taycan and Taycan Turbo S reach the 100 km/h mark from a standstill in just 4.8 and 2.4 seconds, respectively. This makes them 0.6 and 0.4 seconds faster than their predecessors.
