What's New for 2025?

The 2025 Taycan 4 gets a proper glow-up! This isn't just a new bumper; we're talking more power, now at a punchy 300 kW, and a new standard 82.3 kWh usable battery delivering an impressive 453 km of real-world range (Green Cars Compare estimate). Charging is quicker too, now hitting up to 270 kW on a DC fast charger. Porsche has also fettled the suspension, with adaptive air suspension now standard for an even better blend of comfort and sporty handling. Subtle styling tweaks front and rear keep it looking sharp, while improved standard kit sweetens the deal.

Design & Exterior

Porsche has subtly nipped and tucked the Taycan 4 for 2025, keeping its stunning, low-slung silhouette but adding sharper HD matrix headlights and a revised rear light bar. It’s instantly recognisable as a Taycan, just more chiselled. Measuring 4963 mm long, 1966 mm wide (excluding mirrors), and a sleek 1379 mm tall, it cuts an imposing figure on its 2900 mm wheelbase. The Taycan 4 trim typically features elegant wheel designs that complement its sophisticated yet sporty character. Those signature four-point LED daytime running lights ensure it’s a head-turner, day or night.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Slip inside the Taycan 4, and you're greeted by Porsche’s impeccable build quality and a driver-focused cockpit accommodating five. The curved digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen for the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system are slick, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. For your luggage, there's a decent 407-litre boot, and don't forget the handy 84-litre frunk up front – perfect for charging cables or a weekend bag. Material quality is top-notch, as you'd expect from Stuttgart, creating a luxurious yet sporty ambiance for all occupants.

Performance & Driving Experience

This Taycan 4 is no slouch, rocketing from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 4.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 220 km/h! Its dual permanent magnet synchronous motors (one front, one rear) deliver a hefty 300 kW and 585 Nm of torque through its all-wheel-drive system. This means instant punch and incredible traction. Thanks to the now-standard adaptive air suspension, it carves through corners with precision while still offering a surprisingly comfortable ride. The steering is typical Porsche – direct and communicative. Powerful regenerative braking also helps claw back energy effectively.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Taycan 4 packs an 82.3 kWh usable battery (89 kWh nominal), good for a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 453 km – plenty for most journeys. Efficiency is rated at a solid 5.5 km/kWh. At home, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger will fill it up, with a 22 kW optional upgrade available. Out on the road, its 800V architecture allows for rapid DC charging via the CCS Type 2 port at up to 270 kW (or 150 kW on a 400V charger), meaning you can add significant range in minutes.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is paramount in the Taycan 4, impressively backed by a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Standard kit includes essential driver aids like Lane Keep Assist, traffic sign recognition, and autonomous emergency braking, giving you peace of mind. You can, of course, raid the extensive options list for more advanced tech like Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, Night Vision Assist, and a surround-view camera system. So, whether you’re cruising on the autobahn or navigating city streets, the Taycan has your back with a comprehensive suite of safety features.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically offers a comprehensive warranty package for the Taycan 4. Expect a vehicle warranty around 2 years with unlimited kilometres in Europe, though specific terms can vary by market. Crucially, the high-voltage battery is usually covered for 8 years or 160,000 kilometres, guaranteeing a significant level of capacity retention. Powertrain components also get solid coverage. While complimentary maintenance isn't always standard, Porsche's renowned engineering quality suggests strong reliability, though specialist servicing is part of the ownership experience for this high-performance EV. Regular checks are straightforward for an EV.
