Design updates
Subtle exterior changes mark the Taycan facelift
The new Taycan features subtle exterior modifications. The front of the vehicle now has a new bumper that lends it a definitive width. Porsche asserts that the headlights are new, but changes are so minute they necessitate close scrutiny to discern. The rear also sees minor alterations with a revised bumper and taillight setup, complemented by a 3D Porsche logo.
Interior upgrades
Taycan facelift boasts significant interior revisions
The interior changes in the Taycan facelift are more pronounced than its exterior. The cabin layout remains the same, but the dashboard now features a new screen setup. Drivers will benefit from a fully digital display, an updated infotainment system, and an optional passenger display. The three-spoke steering wheel now includes a control lever for managing various ADAS features, and there's a digital screen on the central console for air conditioning functions.
Powertrain improvements
Enhanced powertrain specifications define Taycan facelift
The most significant changes in the Taycan facelift are seen in its powertrain specifications. The EV is faster and more efficient than their predecessors. It is based on an 800V architecture and supports fast charging at up to 320kW, which is a 50kW increase from the outgoing model. Depending on the Taycan variant, customers can choose between rear- and all-wheel drivetrains.
