Few cars on the road are as capable as the 2025 Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. It's the quickest car Edmunds has ever tested, electric or not, and has braking and handling performance to match. It's a bit tight inside and offers less range than other top EVs, but the capability cannot be understated.Read full review
The 2025 Taycan is Porsche's all-electric sedan. There's also a wagon-like version called the Cross Turismo. From performance to luxury to, yes, price, the Taycan is a legitimate Porsche. For 2025, the Taycan receives its biggest update since its debut for 2020. There's new styling and many significant upgrades that improve performance, range and charging speed. There's also a new wickedly quick Turbo GT model that has been breaking track records. All of the evolutionary changes help the 2025 Porsche Taycan remain one of our favorite EVs on the market.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

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 Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts
Good
6.5
out of 10
We drove the 2025 Porsche Taycan on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Driving experience
8.8/10
How does the Porsche Taycan drive? Few cars — electric or otherwise — drive as well as the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT. At the Edmunds test track, it hit 60 mph in an outlandish 2.2 seconds. That edges the Tesla Model S Plaid and matches the Lucid Air Sapphire. 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.
The Turbo GT pulled a stellar 1.14 g on our skidpad, 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 to drive, but we wish for a one-pedal driving mode. Whether on the highway or surface streets, the Taycan's ride is smooth and compliant, and it feels more settled and composed than some other EVs.
Visibility is fine but not exceptional. The available surround-view camera helps, but a small rear window and shallow greenhouse dampen the view out. Porsche doesn't offer many standard driver aids, instead making features such as adaptive cruise control optional. On the upside, our test car was fitted with most of the available driver aids, and we had no complaints about how they worked.
Comfort
6.9/10
View interior photos
How comfortable is the Porsche Taycan? Porsche's various seat options offer a good balance between sporty support and luxury cushiness. The padding is firm but comfortable, and we had no aches after 10 hours of driving. Most EVs are quiet, but the Taycan is particularly adept at tuning out unwanted wind and road noise.
The controls are easy to reach, but most functions are controlled through the touchscreen — including, annoyingly, aiming the air vents. The interface is responsive but will take time to learn. The air conditioning blows cold, and the heated seats warm up nicely.
The Taycan is a fair bit smaller inside than rivals like the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air and BMW i7, especially in the rear seat. Front occupants should have no trouble settling in — the adjustable air suspension will rise when you open the door, making it easy to get in and out. The sleek profile makes the Taycan look sharp but hurts rear headroom, and there's less legroom than you'll find elsewhere.
The Taycan has easily accessible Isofix anchors for car seats, though the roofline and limited rear space make fitting larger seats cumbersome. Larger rear-facing seats might require the passenger to scoot their seat forward.
In-cabin tech
5.6/10
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.
Shopping for the 2025 Porsche Taycan can be an exciting experience, especially when armed with the right tips for negotiating a great deal.
Buyers are paying around 7% less than the MSRP for new Porsche Taycan models, which can translate to thousands in savings. For instance, the Turbo GT trim offers a notable savings of almost $19,318 compared to the sticker price.
Currently, there is no available information on special customer cashback offers or promotional APRs for the Taycan.
New inventory is available across various trims, with the Base and 4 trims having the highest stock, offering more room for negotiation. However, the Taycan 4S and 4S Cross Turismo trims have higher days on lot, providing leverage for a better deal.
Leasing is possible, with median monthly payments for the Taycan around $2,851 and $7,851 due at signing.
When considering used models, the lowest displayed dealer price starts at approximately $89,995 for the Taycan, and there are 25 VINs rated as a great price. The Turbo GT trim is selling slowly in the used market, giving buyers more negotiating power.

Storage & cargo
4/10
How’s storage and cargo? Between its front and rear trunks, the Taycan Turbo GT offers a total of 14.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity, which is less than what most rivals offer. The 11.5-cubic-foot rear trunk is handy, if a bit shallow, while the 3-cubic-foot front trunk is limited to accommodating a small bag and the charging cable. 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.
Value
6.4/10
Is the Porsche Taycan a good value? There's no getting around the Porsche tax here. The Taycan is expensive compared to rival super-fast 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 attractive and well built. 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.)
How are the range and efficiency? 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 better advantage of 350-kW DC fast-charging stations.
X factor
10/10
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 steering is direct and engaging, and the brakes hold up over repeated runs better than brakes on other big EVs. Another feature that 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.
2025 Porsche Taycan trim level differences
The 2025 Porsche Taycan is available as either a sedan or the wagon-like Cross Turismo body style. The sedan is offered in base Taycan trim, as well as 4S, Turbo, TurboS and a new Turbo GT. The Cross Turismo can be had in Taycan 4, 4S, Turbo and Turbo S trims. Keep reading for a breakdown of the Taycan's power outputs and its most significant standard features and options. Compare the 2025 Porsche Taycan trim levels in-depth.
Which Taycan trim 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.
Overall, the 2025 Porsche Taycan has mixed reviews from owners. Many are amazed by its quick acceleration, beautiful design, and smooth driving experience. However, there are quite a few complaints about the car's troublesome software, low driving range, and charging difficulties. Some owners find its technology and interior features lacking compared to other brands.
