Porsche Taycan 2025 review: High-performance electric car gets major update to rival Audi e-tron GT

The 2025 Porsche Taycan is not messing around. Yes, the high-performance electric car has received a mid-life update, but as far as EVs go, this is one of the most significant upgrade packages that we've seen yet. In fact, the headline numbers for the mid-sizer are frankly hard to believe.

Of course, the misleadingly named Turbo S now does sprints from 0-100km/h in 2.4 seconds, down 0.4s, but the newly installed Turbo GT flagship can do the triple-digit dash in a very scary 2.2s. Better yet, the maximum DC fast charing rate is now 320kW, up 50kW. It's also claimed to be far more consistent than any other series-production EV.

In this expert review, CarsGuide Deputy Editor James Cleary gets behind the wheel of the facelifted Taycan line-up at its Australian media launch, to find out whether it has the blown the competition – including the mechanically related Audi e-tron GT – out of the water.

Scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. Brilliant video

I prefer the new headlights. I never liked the tear drops.

Good video ...lots of detail ....& no need for an acceleration burst ( we know thay are fast ) 😅

Great review as always.

As nice as it is, it's way too expensive. Every other EV has dropped in price but Porsche has increased theirs 🤔. You're better off buying an EV that's a year or two old with their resale value.

Tie-Kahn or Tie-can 😂
I think I heard both versions.
Tie-Kahn.

You should look up how a heat pump works, compresses outside air for heat😂

[laceyunderall]

How about the resale value on these things? 🤣🤣🤫
