THE 2025 PORSCHE TAYCAN 4S IS A PERFECTED ELECTRIC GERMAN SPORT SEDAN

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S receives a significant mid-cycle refresh, focusing on powertrain enhancements and efficiency improvements. Porsche has equipped the 4S with a new rear electric motor, bringing its power output to 509 hp (590 hp with launch control), matching last year's GTS trim. The larger 105 kWh Performance Plus battery option promises improved range, with an estimated 300-310 miles, and faster charging capabilities, reaching 10-80% in approximately 18 minutes. While exterior styling changes are subtle, the interior boasts updated tech, including an optional passenger display with video streaming and improved software. The reviewer highlights the Taycan's continued appeal as a sporty, engaging electric sedan, praising its premium interior, refined driving dynamics that mask its weight, and the innovative Active Ride Control suspension. However, the extensive options list, which can significantly inflate the price, and the tight rear seat space are noted drawbacks. Overall, Porsche has refined an already excellent product, making the Taycan 4S a more compelling, albeit expensive, electric sports sedan.
