What's New for 2025?

The latest Taycan 4S, effectively the 2025 model, boasts a significant refresh! It packs more punch with increased power from its dual motors and accelerates quicker than before. Porsche has also squeezed out more range from an updated battery chemistry and improved efficiency, alongside seriously faster DC charging capabilities, now peaking at 270 kW even with the standard battery. Subtle styling tweaks to the front and rear, plus an upgraded Porsche Driver Experience with new display and control concepts, keep it looking and feeling fresh against fierce competition.

Design & Exterior

The Taycan 4S's silhouette is pure Porsche: low, wide, and utterly captivating. For 2025, subtle sharpening of the front wings and flatter headlights, optionally with HD matrix technology, enhance its sporty gaze. Measuring 4963 mm long, 1966 mm wide (excluding mirrors), and a sleek 1379 mm tall, it has an undeniable road presence. The 4S trim features distinct aero-optimised wheels and subtle badging, perfectly balancing elegance with aggression. It's a head-turner that screams performance even when parked, all while maintaining its German production quality.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the Taycan 4S, and you're greeted by a driver-focused cockpit, brimming with high-quality materials and Porsche's impeccable build, comfortably seating five. The digitalised Porsche Driver Experience now features an optimised interface across its multiple screens, including standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For your gear, there's a 407-litre boot, expanding to approximately 1200 litres when rear seats are folded, plus a handy 84-litre frunk – perfect for charging cables or a weekend bag. It’s a tech-laden cabin that doesn’t forget practicality.

Performance & Driving Experience

This is where the Taycan 4S truly shines! With its dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) delivering a potent 400 kW and a massive 695 Nm of torque to its all-wheel-drive system, it catapults from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 3.7 seconds. The 800V architecture ensures consistent power delivery up to its 250 km/h top speed. Porsche’s chassis wizardry means it handles like a dream, with adaptive air suspension soaking up bumps yet keeping it incredibly planted through corners. Regenerative braking is powerful and intuitively refined.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Taycan 4S features an 82.3 kWh usable battery (89 kWh nominal), offering a real-world range, as estimated by Green Cars Compare, of 429 km and impressive efficiency around 5.21 km/kWh. Charging is super flexible via its CCS Type 2 port: at home, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger fills it up overnight, with an optional 22 kW unit halving that time. On the road, its 800V system allows rapid DC charging at up to 270 kW (or 150 kW on 400V chargers), zapping the battery from 10-80% in under 20 minutes.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Porsche doesn't skimp on safety, and the Taycan 4S proudly wears a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. It comes equipped with a solid suite of standard driver aids, including Lane Keeping Assist, traffic sign recognition, and cruise control. For even more peace of mind, you can option advanced systems like Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, Active Lane Keep, and Night Vision Assist. These features make both spirited drives and daily commutes safer and more relaxed, ensuring you're well-protected in this electric powerhouse.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically backs the Taycan 4S in Europe with a comprehensive warranty. Expect a 2-year unlimited kilometre vehicle warranty, while the crucial high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. Powertrain components usually align with the main vehicle warranty. Porsche doesn't typically offer extensive complimentary maintenance in Europe, but reliability for the Taycan has been generally good, with scheduled servicing focused on checks rather than frequent part replacements, thanks to its EV nature.
