If you spec out a fully-loaded 2025 Porsche Taycan, you can spend at least $275,000.
It’s been around for a few years now, but the electric Porsche Taycan is getting quite a few updates to keep it fresh against the growing range of competition. Even if the EV market is cooling down a bit from the absolute frenzy we’ve experienced, the company’s first (and remarkably good) foray into the market does still have to make some effort to woo buyers into the idea of owning a battery-electric Porsche. The 2025 models bring in the standard list of changes you get with a mid-cycle overhaul: new styling, better driving range (an important one for EVs) and a healthy power upgrade for the top-of-the-line Turbo S.
On the styling front, the 2025 Porsche Taycan isn’t a complete revolution from previous years, as you probably expect. The rear full-width light gets a bit more of a three-dimensional look, and you can even get the “Porsche” lettering backlit in blue to stand out from the taillight itself, for a premium (and we’ll get to the options list in a minute). New colors are available, as are the company’s “Paint to Sample” options, which pretty much let you do whatever you want for anywhere between $13,150 and $30,020 extra.
Inside, the 2025 Porsche Taycan also gets an updated version of its digital instrument cluster, infotainment screen and optional passenger screen.
Performance specs
Across the board, every version of the updated Taycan gets at least slightly better performance. Even the base Taycan now makes the 0-60 sprint in 4.5 seconds (per Porsche’s claims, down 0.6 seconds from the old model). The Turbo S is still the performance giant, obviously, and it actually widens that margin for this model year. The Turbo S now packs a stratospheric 938 horsepower when using the car’s launch control feature. As far as the consistent, everyday output, that jumps to 764 horsepower across the dual-motor configuration. You also get 808 lb-ft of torque, up from 774 lb-ft.
In terms of straight-line acceleration, Porsche says the new Taycan Turbo S manages a 2.3-second run, making it the quickest production Porsche yet.
It’s not just raw grunt, though: Charging performance has also improved. The battery pack can now recharge at up to 320 kW (under ideal conditions, of course), with Porsche saying you can go from 10% to 80% state-of-charge in about 18 minutes. That is a big deal considering the Taycan also has a larger battery, which is now 105-kWh rather than 93-kWh. With the bigger pack, it should also manage better range.
The 2025 Porsche Taycan configurator is up now, and you can order whichever one you’d like (or can afford) across the range. However, the updated model now starts in the six-figure range, with the base model kicking off at $101,395 including Porsche’s $1,995 destination fee. Last year, the entry-level model carried a $92,550 asking price. The Taycan 4S starts at $120,495, while the Turbo comes in at $175,595 and the Turbo S starts at $210,995. If you want the Taycan Cross Turismo wagon, you’ll spend between $113,095 at the low end and $213,695 at the top…before you get into the options list.
If you’ve spent any time building your dream Porsche, you’ll know just how quickly the brand’s options list can inflate the price tag. Mind you, it’s worth noting you do still get a huge amount of options to choose from, even with a decent set of standard equipment. I tried building out a fully loaded 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo, and the MSRP came out to just over $275,000…ouch. If money is no object, though, the Taycan was a great EV before, and this updated model should be even better.
Deliveries for the 2025 models start this summer. Porsche reportedly has an even hotter version above the Turbo S (possibly called the Turbo GT) in the works to take on the Tesla Model S Plaid, but it hasn’t yet revealed details on that model. We should know more about that one later this year.
The Taycan isn’t Porsche’s only EV these days, either. The new Macan EV‘s arrival is also right around the corner:
