Uploaded 1 year ago by Sgcarmart

Video Summary

The new Taycan's updates are more than skin deep.

The car contains slimmer, HD Matrix LED headlights as standard, but optional ones are far more powerful.

New air intakes are present.

Changes will be apparent on the non-turbo variants, such as removing the black surround around the headlights that connects to the air intakes.

Porsche updated and improved the Porsche silhouette.

The Porsche illumination at the rear is new.

Turbo variants now have specific accents called Turbonite. They can be found on the bonnet crest, steering wheel, front splitter, and rear bumper.

Practicality remains, with a boot space of 407 liters and an 82-liter frunk.

There's good leg room in the back, though headroom is not the best due to the roofline of the sedan.

New display on the digital instrument cluster includes battery temperature and maximum charge current.

There is now Apple CarPlay Plus integrated into the infotainment system.

Porsche also added a push-to-pass function to increase available power.

The WLTP range increased by over 30%. The single-motor rear-wheel drive Taycan with performance battery plus has an over 670 km range.

Aerodynamically optimized wheels increase range by 20 or 40 km, depending on the option.

Larger capacity batteries were added, such as the performance battery plus now having 102 kWh.

A newly developed rear axle motor is lighter and more powerful.

All variants come standard with adaptive air suspension. Porsche Active Ride increases comfort and dynamics.

It drives like a dream through back roads. The steering is quick, direct, and weighty.

The brakes are well modulated.

It is an electric sports car with immense capability.

Zero to 100 is no longer as relevant, but it is still impressive.
