Porsche Taycan Turbo

Overview

The 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo is a high-voltage thrill ride, cementing its status as a king among electric sports sedans. This German powerhouse blends heart-stopping performance with cutting-edge tech and, new for 2025, a seriously boosted range. The Turbo trim sits high in the Taycan hierarchy, offering a more potent punch than lower trims without quite reaching the stratospheric levels (and price) of the Turbo S. Expect to see it priced new around $173,600 in the US, with used examples like the one in our data at $149,981, delivering pure Porsche DNA, electrified.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Taycan Turbo gets a proper glow-up! We're talking more grunt from revised motors, and crucially, a bigger 97 kWh usable battery pack delivering significantly more real-world range. Charging gets even quicker, now capable of sucking down electrons at a blistering 320 kW. Porsche has sharpened the exterior styling with new lights and bumpers, and the cabin benefits from an updated Porsche Driver Experience. Adaptive air suspension is now standard too, making this electrifying beast even more composed and comfortable on US roads. It’s a massive leap forward!

Design & Exterior

The 2025 Taycan Turbo retains its stunning, low-slung Porsche silhouette but looks even meaner with sharper front and rear fascias. New, more piercing headlights and a revised full-width taillight strip amp up its futuristic appeal. This four-door rocket measures 195.4 inches long, 77.4 inches wide (mirrors folded, of course!), and a svelte 54.3 inches tall. The Turbo trim flaunts specific aero bits, unique wheel designs, and those signature Porsche curves that scream speed even when it's parked. It’s a proper head-turner, dripping with autobahn-bred aggression.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Taycan Turbo is pure Porsche: a driver-focused cockpit swathed in top-shelf materials with impeccable build quality. It’s sporty yet luxurious, with a digital-heavy dash featuring a curved instrument cluster and a central infotainment screen; a passenger display remains optional. Apple CarPlay integration is deeper than ever. Seating for five is possible, but four adults will be comfier. Luggage space is decent for a sports sedan: you get 12.9 cubic feet in the trunk, plus a handy 3.0 cubic feet in the frunk for charging cables or a weekend bag.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The 2025 Taycan Turbo catapults from 0-60 mph in a mind-bending 2.5 seconds thanks to its dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (one front, one rear) kicking out a monstrous 650 kW (that's 872 hp in old money!) and 693 lb-ft of torque in overboost. This all-wheel-drive missile offers razor-sharp handling, further enhanced by the now-standard adaptive air suspension. The steering is telepathic, and Porsche’s Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) deliver epic stopping power, while regenerative braking helps recoup energy with serious authority. It's an electrifyingly engaging drive!

Range, Battery & Charging

The 2025 Taycan Turbo packs a potent 97 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 307 miles – a big improvement! Efficiency is rated at 3.16 mi/kWh. At home, the standard 9.6 kW on-board AC charger will juice it up overnight (around 11 hours), or opt for the beefier 19.2 kW unit for a quicker ~5.5-hour fill. Out and about, its 800V architecture allows for lightning-fast DC charging at up to 320 kW via its US-spec CCS Type 1 port, zapping the battery from 10-80% in as little as 18 minutes!

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Porsche doesn't skimp on safety, and the Taycan Turbo aims for top marks, with previous models earning a 5-star NHTSA and Euro NCAP rating. For 2025, it comes loaded with standard kit like ParkAssist (front and rear sensors) with a reversing camera, Active Parking Support, Lane Keep Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition. You can further bolster your defenses with optional systems like Porsche InnoDrive, which includes adaptive cruise control and active lane keeping, plus a nifty Night Vision Assist for spotting hazards after dark.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche backs the Taycan Turbo with a solid 4-year/50,000-mile basic vehicle warranty in the US. Crucially for an EV, the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, guaranteeing against excessive degradation. Powertrain coverage typically aligns with the basic warranty. Porsche usually throws in the first scheduled maintenance service (1 year/10,000 miles) on the house. While these are complex machines, Porsche's engineering generally means good long-term reliability, though cutting-edge tech can sometimes mean cutting-edge repair bills outside warranty.
