The Taycan jumpstarted Porsche’s electric revolution and that journey continues with a handful of updates for the 2023 model year.
Most of the changes are software related as buyers will find an updated Porsche Communication Management system with a revised user interface as well as a “colorful tile screen.” Other updates include Spotify integration and support for wireless Android Auto.
Rounding out the tech updates are a “revised HUD design” and a new feature to filter EV charging stations by power output. The latter will come in handy as it will enable owners to more easily find high-speed DC fast chargers.

The EV also benefits from a handful of powertrain updates as the “front motor de-energizes in Normal and Range modes on dual-motor Taycan variants for reduced parasitic load.” Thermal management has also been improved as the battery can now precondition faster and to a higher temperature, ensuring “optimum charging curve performance even at higher SOC [state of charge].” Furthermore, recuperation settings are now retained when switching Drive modes and the all-wheel drive indicator on the dash now shows energy flows.
On the hardware side of things, there are minor updates to wheel choices and expanded availability of Variable Light Control for the panoramic glass roof. The latter enables users to adjust the transparency of the roof with just a few taps.
Lastly, customers can have their Taycan prepared for front and rear dashcams. The latter are available from Porsche Tequipment and feature vibration, radar, and GPS sensors as well as a lens with a polarization filter.
While the hardware changes are exclusive to 2023 Taycans, the software updates will be available to 2020, 2021, and 2022 models in the “very near future.”
