Porsche improved its Taycan electric sport sedan in nearly every way for the 2025 model year. In February, the brand announced a faster, longer-range Taycan with a new look, new cabin tech, and quicker charging. We assumed they were done with it.
They weren’t. Today, the brand announced two new trim levels for Taycan shoppers and the return of a model with precise appeal to a small segment of enthusiasts.
Taycan 4
Until now, the base 2025 Taycan has been offered only in rear-wheel drive (RWD) form, with an electric motor that produces 402 horsepower (429 for a brief burst).
The arrival of the Taycan 4 gives buyers an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version without reaching into the higher price realm. It keeps power the same but gives you added grip in wet weather. Porsche says it also gets from 0-60 mph 0.1 seconds faster — in 4.4 seconds — thanks to traction alone.
The Taycan 4 starts at $105,295, including a mandatory $1,995 delivery fee.
The additional motor on the front axle “is electrically decoupled whenever traction, driving dynamics, and driving stability allow it. It then switches back on within milliseconds when needed, for example, when accelerating or recuperating,” Porsche says.
Standard equipment on the 2025 Porsche Taycan 4 includes comfort seats, adaptive air suspension, and a 10-speaker sound system.
Taycan GTS
Near the other end of the price and performance scale, the Taycan GTS returns.
GTS is Porsche’s term for a sweet-spot car – an enthusiast variant that includes some high-performance parts from the top of the range but keeps prices under control by forgoing the most exclusive features.
The 2025 Taycan GTS sedan starts at $149,895 delivered.
It gets a dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain with up to 690 hp and launch control. Porsche says it will get from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. A “more distinctive Electric Sport Sound profile, usually found in the Taycan Turbo,” should make that experience more immersive.
Inside, its standard adaptive sport seats are wrapped in a combination of leather and Porsche’s Race-Tex synthetic alternative. The Sport Chrono Package, with its lap timing features, is standard.
Sport Turismo Returns
Now, our favorite development.
Nearly everyone understands the appeal of the Taycan. A 4-door sedan as fast as many high-end sports cars, with looks to match, isn’t hard to sell. Electric vehicles (EVs) let engineers push the boundaries of the possible on rubber wheels, and the Taycan is the kind of gift they can give us all with that technology.
But not everyone understands the appeal of a wagon version. Porsche, however, will once again build two for 2025. The Cross Turismo adds practicality – luggage space, added ground clearance, and SUV-style scratch-resistant body cladding. It has never left the lineup.
The Sport Turismo, however, foregoes the ground clearance and plastic panels. It’s just an extremely high-performance electric wagon — and a jaw-dropping one.
Porsche dropped it from the lineup for 2024 because not many people want such a thing. Gloriously, they’ve brought it back for 2025 for those of us that do.
If it doesn’t appeal to you, don’t worry about it. If it does, enjoy it with us. The Sport Turismo comes back only in GTS form. It carries an asking price of $151,795.
