JORDAN DRIVES THE NEW 2025 PORSCHE TAYCAN! DRIVING REVIEW, UPGRADES, & TOTAL EXPERIENCE

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Porsche Taycan receives a significant mid-cycle refresh, enhancing an already impressive electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights substantial improvements in efficiency, with base models now achieving up to 35% more range and the overall vehicle being more efficient than advertised figures. Performance is also up across the board, with quicker acceleration. A standout feature is the new Porsche Active Ride suspension, which uses hydraulics and air to actively bank the car into corners like a motorcycle and counteract braking/acceleration forces, providing a remarkably smooth and engaging ride on varied road surfaces. Other notable upgrades include faster charging speeds (up to 320 kW peak), reduced weight, standard air suspension on all trims, and an improved push-to-pass feature. While the design is largely similar to the outgoing model, the reviewer notes a slight preference for the previous generation's styling cues on lower trims. Criticisms are minor, focusing on the infotainment system's HVAC controls and the lack of tactile buttons, though Apple CarPlay integration may alleviate some of this. Overall, the Taycan continues to impress with its driving dynamics, luxury, and technological advancements, making even base models highly enjoyable.
