2024 PORSCHE TAYCAN FACELIFT - GETTING BETTER & BETTER

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Porsche Taycan facelift receives a comprehensive update, enhancing its appeal across all variants including the Sedan, Sport Turismo, and Cross Turismo. Key improvements focus on increased range and efficiency, thanks to larger battery options (up to 97 kWh net) and a more efficient powertrain, enabling realistic figures of 400-500 km. Charging speeds are significantly boosted, with a peak DC rate of 320 kW allowing for a 10-80% charge in under 18 minutes. Visually, the Taycan gains updated lighting and subtle styling tweaks, with the 'Turbonite' accentuation reserved for Turbo and Turbo S models. The new optional Porsche Active Ride suspension system is a standout feature, actively counteracting body movements for a remarkably level ride, though it's deactivated in Sport mode for maximum cornering performance. Interior updates include a new leather-free option with Race-Tex and wool, and an enhanced Apple CarPlay integration allowing control of vehicle functions. While acceleration is improved across the board, the Turbo S now achieves 0-100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. The reviewer highlights the improved comfort and sportiness, noting the suspension's ability to handle rough roads while maintaining a composed feel. The reviewer also praises the new fabric seats for their superior comfort compared to leather options.
