There isn't much on the road as capable as the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. It's the quickest car Edmunds has ever tested, electric or not, and it has the braking and handling performance to back it up. It's a bit tight inside and offers less range than other luxury EVs, but the performance you get with this car cannot be understated.Read full review

The Porsche Taycan was already an impressive EV, and the changes for 2025 make it even more compelling. From the outside, the headlights and bumper have been tweaked slightly, but bigger improvements help the Taycan evolve where it matters most. DC fast-charging speeds have increased so that you'll potentially spend less time charging and get back on the road quicker. The base Taycan model gets a power boost and should be noticeably quicker than before, while the new Turbo GT can generate an otherworldly 1,019 horsepower. Inside, all Taycans benefit from more standard features and a revised version of Apple CarPlay that now integrates climate controls for a more seamless operation.
Competitors to consider
The closest rival to the Taycan is its related Audi E-tron GT cousin, which favors comfortable touring over outright performance. Other alternatives also lean more toward luxury and include the BMW i5 and i7 as well as the Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS sedans. The Tesla Model S can put down some impressive acceleration times, but it's nowhere near as proficient on a curvy road as the Taycan. Finally, check out the new Maserati GranTurismo Folgore if you're willing to drive a curvaceous two-door coupe.

edmunds TESTED
There isn't much on the road as capable as the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. It's the quickest car Edmunds has ever tested, electric or not, and it has the braking and handling performance to back it up. It's a bit tight inside and offers less range than other luxury EVs, but the performance you get with this car cannot be understated.
How does the Taycan Turbo GT drive? Few cars — electric or otherwise — drive as well as the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. At the Edmunds test track, our test car hit 60 mph in an outlandish 2.2 seconds. That's slightly quicker than the Tesla Model S Plaid and matching the Lucid Air Sapphire that we also tested. Keep going and you'll pass the quarter mile in just 9.3 seconds. Even with this much power, the Turbo GT never feels nervous or twitchy.
It's not just the car's acceleration that impresses. The Turbo GT pulled a stellar 1.14 g on our skidpad. World-class stuff, besting the Air Sapphire and matching the Model S Plaid with the Track package. The Turbo GT repeatedly outbraked those cars too. On the street, the Taycan is easy and smooth to drive. But note that the Taycan doesn't really have the ability to do one-pedal driving, which is where you can lift off the accelerator and allow strong regenerative braking to bring the vehicle to a complete stop without touching the brake pedal.
Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Taycan GT Turbo? The Taycan GT might be a sporty EV, but that doesn't mean Porsche skimped on comfort. Whether you're on the highway or driving on surface streets, the Taycan GT's ride is smooth and compliant, and it feels more settled and composed than some other EVs. Porsche's seats offer a good balance between the support you want in something sporty and the cushy feeling you expect in something luxurious. The padding is firm but comfortable, and we never felt achy after 10 or so hours behind the wheel. Most EVs are quiet, but the Taycan seems particularly adept at tuning out unwanted wind and road noise.
We wish the climate controls were less cumbersome. It's fine having the temperature and fan speed adjustments on their own touchscreen, but adjusting air vents on a screen is never a good solution. The air conditioning blows cold and the heated seats warm up nicely, but it's all a bit more difficult to adjust and use than it should be.
Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? Inside, the Taycan GT is a fair bit smaller than rivals like the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air or BMW i7, especially in the rear seat. Front occupants should have no trouble settling in, especially given that the adjustable air suspension will rise when you open the door, making it easy to get in and out. The seats and steering wheel offer lots of adjustment, and Porsche places all of the controls within easy sight and reach. Rear occupants will find their seats a little more cramped. The sleek profile makes the Taycan look sharp but hurts rear headroom, and there's simply less legroom than what you'll find elsewhere. Visibility is fine but not exceptional. The available surround-view camera helps, but a small rear window and shallow windows in general dampen the view out of the car.
Porsche's controls are easy to reach, but much of what you need to use (including adjusting the climate control) is done through the touchscreen. The interface is responsive, but it will take a bit of time to learn all the ins and outs of the system.

How’s the tech? Porsche has steadily been improving the tech in the Taycan over the past few years, adding features like Android Auto that we felt were missing when the Taycan launched. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both standard and can be connected wirelessly, though there are USB-C ports in both rows for a more steady connection. A wireless charging pad is now standard too. Navigation works well and can show things like the nearest charging stations, though turn-by-turn directions will display in the instrument cluster if you use your smartphone to navigate.
Porsche doesn't offer much in the way of standard driver aids. Instead, it makes features such as adaptive cruise control separate options. It's not great when less expensive rivals offer a more robust list of standard features. On the upside, our test car was fitted with most of the available driver aids, and we had no complaints about how they worked.
Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? The Taycan GT features both front and rear trunks, though the overall cargo area is less than what most rivals offer. The trunk space is a bit shallow, too, so taller items might get crushed if you're not careful. The front trunk is handy, but with just 3 cubic feet of space you won't be stuffing much inside beyond a small bag or two. The rear seats fold flat in a 40/20/40 split, but most rivals offer the same capability. Storage inside the car isn't much better, with limited space in the console, glove compartment and door pockets to hold small items.
The Taycan has easily accessible Isofix anchors for car seats, though the roofline and limited rear space make it somewhat cumbersome to put larger seats inside. Larger rear-facing seats might require the passenger to scoot their seat forward.

Range and Efficiency
7.5/10
How economical is the Taycan Turbo GT? While the 2025 Taycan might look mostly the same as before, Porsche has done a lot beneath the surface to improve both performance and efficiency with the refreshed model. New batteries and electric motors provide more range than before. The EPA estimates that a Taycan Turbo GT can drive 276 miles on a full charge. That's decent but ultimately less than what the Model S Plaid and Air Sapphire can do. We have found that Porsche EVs can exceed their EPA range estimates in our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test. Charging is quick thanks to a peak charging power of 320 kW. Owners can take even more advantage of 350-kW DC fast-charging stations.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Taycan Turbo GT a good value? There's no getting around the Porsche tax here. The Taycan is expensive compared to other rival EVs, and it offers fewer features and has less range. The interior isn't as premium as what you get in a BMW or Mercedes, but it's still luxurious inside the cabin. We didn't notice any misaligned panels or creaks from ill-fitting trim during our time with the car. Still, given the performance you get with the Taycan Turbo GT compared to similarly priced sports cars, the value doesn't look as bad. Porsche includes a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty as well as an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery. (The latter is standard for EVs.)
Wildcard
9/10
The Taycan is a blast to drive both on the street and at a track. The latter is not something you can say for every EV. The electric powertrain provides plenty of torque, so it's easy to blast away from a stoplight or pass a slow-moving car. The steering is direct and engaging, and the brakes hold up over repeated runs better than brakes on other big EVs.
The Taycan's design is handsome and sleek, but it's no longer as eye-catching as it was when it debuted. It's decidedly Porsche without looking like an awkward, overstuffed 911 like Porsche's first sedan, the Panamera. What really sets the Taycan (and Porsches in general) apart is the level of customization you can get into. There are optional paints, wheels, upholstery and trim to tailor a Taycan to your heart's content. For the right price, Porsche will paint your Taycan in just about any color you'd like.
Which Taycan does Edmunds recommend?
The Taycan 4S hits the sweet spot for price and power. You get a noticeable power boost over the base Taycan plus the added traction and performance of all-wheel drive. You also save a chunk of change compared to buying a Taycan Turbo, allowing you to pick more from the Taycan's extensive list of options.
