- The Porsche Taycan was heavily updated year, and in 2025, the lineup grows further.
- Three new models will be available in Q1 2025: the Taycan 4 as a sedan for the first time ever, plus the Taycan GTS sedan and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo wagon.
- There are now 13 flavors of Taycan to choose from.
When it comes to modern electric vehicles, the Porsche Taycan is objectively tough to beat in almost every metric. It's fast, it looks fantastic and it's a top leader in range and charging times without sacrificing performance. And after some big upgrades this year, the Taycan lineup is growing to offer buyers even more ways to get one in 2025.
Porsche announced today that three new members of the updated Taycan family will on sale in the first quarter of 2025. The base sedan gets all-wheel-drive to become the Taycan 4 for the first time ever (previously, that was only available in Cross Turismo form) and the GTS trim returns in both sedan and Sport Turismo wagon forms. This means that there are now 13 flavors of Taycan to choose from, ranging in power from 402 hp to 1,019 hp.
"The new models have more power, longer range, accelerate faster and can be charged in less time and with greater stability," Porsche officials said in a news release. The simultaneous improvement of performance and efficiency is down to a number of factors: an advanced powertrain with a new rear-axle motor with up to 107 hp more power than its predecessor on all models, a modified pulse inverter with optimized software, more powerful batteries, revised thermal management, a next-generation heat pump, increased recuperation and optional all-wheel-drive strategy." More importantly, at 800-volt DC charging stations, the Taycan models can charge at an extremely impressive 320 kW, making it one of the quickest-charging EVs around.

We'll start with the GTS models. This "sporty all-rounder" was the midpack Taycan model on the first generation of vehicles, offering tons of performance options without going completely nuts (in a good way, of course) like the Turbo and Turbo S variants above it. The updated Taycan debuted without the GTS models, but now they're here in sedan and wagon form.
The GTS gets up to 690 hp of "overboost power" when Launch Control is used, a full 100 hp more than its predecessor. And with the Sport Chrono package, the driver can add an additional 93 hp for 10 seconds on top of that. Both the sedan and Sport Turismo wagon will do zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The GTS even gets a "sound profile" that is unique to this model. Other GTS upgrades include the multifunction sport steering wheel, optional rear-axle steering, adaptive air suspension with torque vectoring, standard adaptive sport seats and retuned Porsche Active Ride. The GTS models starts at $147,900 for the sedan and $149,800 for the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, not including any dealer charges or the $1,995 destination fee.

But adding AWD to the base sedan is arguably the most exciting development here. It can be had with the standard Performance battery or the optional Performance Battery Plus battery, which put down 402 hp or 429 hp on overboost, respectively. The traction advantage of AWD lets the Taycan 4 hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the RWD car, without skimping on efficiency.
"Additionally, the front electric motor is electrically decoupled whenever traction, driving dynamics, and driving stability allow it. It then switches back on within milliseconds when needed, for example when accelerating or recuperating." That one starts at $103,300, also excluding the destination fees.

With these additions, the updated Taycan family gets some selections in line with the first-generation EV, and then some. What's missing from today's release, however, is these models' electric range; we expect to hear more about that in the coming months.
Despite the Taycan's incredible performance and excellence as an EV, Porsche has had some challenges selling it lately—especially globally, and especially in China, where the electric competition is in incredibly fierce. Can these new models help get the job done?
