Design & Exterior

Oh yes, the 2025 Taycan RWD still turns heads with its impossibly sleek, low-slung silhouette – pure Porsche DNA. Measuring 4963 mm long, 1966 mm wide, and just 1379 mm tall, it’s got presence.

Even in its "base" RWD form, it's a gorgeous piece of kit, looking every bit the futuristic sports car. Proper job!

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Slide inside, and the Taycan RWD wows with a driver-focused cockpit, dripping in quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship. It's sporty yet surprisingly spacious for up to five. For your bits and bobs, there's a decent 407-litre boot, plus a very handy 84-litre frunk – great for charging cables! The rear seats also fold for added versatility. Tech-wise, the updated Porsche Driver Experience features a slick curved digital display, central screen, and deeply integrated Apple CarPlay. It’s a seriously premium and high-tech place to be.

Performance & Driving Experience

This "entry-level" Taycan RWD is no slouch, sprinting from 0-100 km/h in a rapid 4.8 seconds! Its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) on the rear axle kicks out a potent 300 kW and 410 Nm of torque, giving you that classic, rewarding rear-wheel-drive feel. Now with standard adaptive air suspension, the handling is even sharper, offering a brilliant mix of agility and comfort. Expect pin-sharp steering and strong, effective regenerative braking that makes one-pedal driving a breeze. It’s properly engaging!

Range, Battery & Charging

The 2025 Taycan RWD packs an 82.3 kWh usable battery, delivering Green Cars Compare's calculated 'real-world' range estimate of around 458 km – a solid improvement! Efficiency is impressive at 5.57 km/kWh. For top-ups, standard AC charging is handled by an 11 kW on-board unit, with a 22 kW option for quicker home charging. When you're out and about, its 800V architecture allows for blistering DC fast charging at up to 270 kW via the CCS Type 2 port (or 150 kW at 400V chargers). Advanced charging functions further enhance convenience.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Porsche doesn't skimp on safety, and the Taycan boasts a reassuring 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Standard assistance systems usually include essentials like lane-keeping assist and emergency braking. You can then spec it up with a host of clever tech through optional packages, such as Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, active lane guidance, and trick parking assistance systems. So, you can have peace of mind while enjoying that electrifying performance.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Porsche typically offers a comprehensive new vehicle warranty (often 2 years with unlimited mileage in many EU regions, which can be extended), giving you confidence from day one. The crucial high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing a minimum level of capacity. Powertrain components fall under the vehicle warranty. Maintenance on EVs like the Taycan is generally less frequent than petrol cars, contributing to Porsche's strong reputation for reliability in the electric era.
