Porsche has unveiled two new Taycan models for the (facelifted) 2025 model year, bringing the total number of flavors on offer to an ice-cream-parlor-rivaling 13. The new Taycan 4 will serve as the entry-level model, and the updated Taycan GTS will be available in both sedan and “Sports Turismo” shooting-brake body styles.
2025 Taycan 4: Dual-motor, AWD powertrain as standard
Starting with the $103,300 Taycan 4, the new model brings the sensibilities of the entry-level car with a dual-motor all-wheel drive drivetrain. Such a model was previously available in the Cross Turismo line, but it has now been extended to those who prefer the sedan body shape.

Porsche says that power output will vary depending on which battery is specced, but expect up to 402 hp using the over-boost function or 429 hp with launch control enabled. The Taycan 4 sports sedan comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, Matrix Design LED headlights, Porsche Traction Management (PTM), and Adaptive Air Suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) fitted as standard.
Meanwhile, that extra electric motor and driven axle may give you a bit more confidence in the corners, but it won’t make much of a difference to the on-paper performance. The Taycan 4 will do the 0-60 mph (0–96 km/h) sprint in 4.4 seconds, which is just 0.1 seconds faster than the rear-wheel drive model.
The New Taycan GTS: More Powerful And Faster Than Before
Meanwhile, if entry-level models aren’t your style, then you can go for the new Taycan GTS. You’ll have to part with $147,900, but you gain 100 hp more than the GTS’ preceding model. That’s a whole 690 hp when using launch control and overboost. Sport Chrono comes as standard, and as such, you get the video-game-like push-to-pass button, with 93 extra hp and a 10-second countdown timer.
The new GTS is 0.4 seconds faster to 60 mph (96 km/h) than the outgoing model, getting there in 3.1 seconds. Meanwhile, the GTS sport sedan can cover the quarter-mile in 11.1 seconds — 0.7 seconds quicker than before.

The Porsche Taycan GTS isn’t without its frivolities. For the 2025 model year, you get the “Electric Sport Sound profile,” which is supposed to sound more distinctive. In reality, it’s borrowed from the bigger brother, the Taycan Turbos S. Also new are Sport Design front and rear aprons, while the wheels are standard 20-inch Taycan Turbo S rims.
The interior features 18-way adjustable Adaptive Sports Seats Plus, a heated steering wheel, and an extended Race-Tex and leather interior. Rear axle steering comes as standard, as does adaptive air suspension and torque vectoring.
