Battery, Electric Motor, and Range

Porsche has installed a more powerful 89 kWh battery pack which can be upgraded to a 105 kWh unit with an optional Performance Battery Plus Pack. Here are the details:

*Porsche is yet to reveal India-spec figures, hence these are figures based on the UK-spec Taycan for reference

The Turbo model further gets a new ‘push-to-pass’ function that gives a 95 PS boost for 10 seconds to the car.

The facelifted Porsche Taycan now features up to 320 kW DC fast charging, 50 kW more than before. An 11 kW AC charger is offered as standard equipment now. 

Exteriors

The facelifted Porsche Taycan gets new HD Matrix-LED lights that are flatter but still have the outgoing model’s four-point DRLs. The air vents in the front bumper have also been redesigned. The Turbo model gets exclusive Turbonite painted design elements. At the rear, the ‘Porsche’ logo gets an illumination function and is placed beneath a clear panel. The 21-inch alloy wheels have also been redesigned with lighter aero wheels wrapped with low-resistance tyres.

On the chassis front, the 2024 Porsche Taycan gets adaptive air suspension as standard, with an option to upgrade to an active suspension setup for the all-wheel-drive Turbo II variant. The weight of the Taycan lineup has also been reduced by up to 15 kg.

Interior

The changes inside are also subtle, with the user interface (UI) getting visual updates for the 10.9-inch infotainment system, the 16.8-inch fully digital driver’s display and the optional passenger’s display. Moreover, the infotainment system and the passenger’s display now support video streaming. 

The driving mode button, which was optional earlier, is now standard. There’s also a new lever behind the steering wheel on the left side by which settings of the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can be accessed. Porsche is also offering two leather-free seat upholstery options with this facelift.

Features and Safety

The Porsche Taycan now gets more standard features than before. These include a heads-up display, 14-way electrically adjustable front seats, a heating function on all four seats and the steering wheel, wireless phone charging, and type-C ports on the driver and passenger side. Four-zone AC, an air purifier, ambient lighting, and up to 14-speaker Bose sound system are the other features on offer.

The safety net includes six airbags, and ADAS features including adaptive cruise control, active speed limit assist and a driver drowsiness detection feature. A parking assistant with a reverse camera, ISOFIX child seat mounts at the rear, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is also available. The Turbo model further gets an active bonnet for pedestrian safety, which raises the rear portion of the bonnet to reduce the crash impact when the front sensors detect a crash.

Rivals

The Porsche Taycan’s closest rival will remain its mechanical siblings, the Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT, both of which have also received a global update recently. It is a sportier alternative to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz EQS and AMG EQS 53.

The pre-facelift Taycan has had multiple recalls, including a recent one involving its front brake system. We hope that many of those kinks of the first-ever Porsche EV have been ironed out in this facelifted package.
