If range anxiety is the only thing holding you back from electric cars, Porsche just dropped the mic. The 2025 Taycan is here and it’s not just better -it’s a standout. With an impressive 678 km range and an all-new push-to-pass feature, the Taycan sets a fresh benchmark for electric performance driving in India.
Launch Details
The facelifted Porsche Taycan was unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, with prices announced on January 17. It’s already in Indian showrooms, so you can book one now if you’re ready to shell out 1.89 crore or more.
Target Audience
This isn’t your average commuter EV. The Taycan appeals to affluent buyers who love cutting-edge tech, younger professionals exploring luxury EVs, and long-time Porsche fans looking to go electric without sacrificing excitement. It’s also catching the eye of younger urban elites, startup founders and even eco-conscious professionals.
Impact on the Market
Porsche is proving luxury EVs can be fun. The Taycan set benchmarks as India’s first performance focused luxury electric car, helping Porsche India achieve record sales in 2024. With rapid charging tech and powerful motors, it’s pushing rivals – and the infrastructure – to catch up.
Performance
Let’s get to the numbers. The Turbo S version launches from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, delivering serious supercar speed in silence. That’s supercar quick.Even the entry-level Taycan RWD clocks 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. Thanks to the new Push-to-Pass function, drivers can unlock a temporary burst of up to 93 kW all with a simple twist of the drive mode switch.
Price
The Taycan is not cheap but for what it offers, it’s a performance bargain in EV terms:
- Taycan RWD: ~Rs 1.67 Cr
- Taycan 4S: ~Rs 1.91–1.96 Cr
- Taycan Turbo: ~Rs 2.54–2.69 Cr
Given the tech, speed and badge, it’s more affordable than some of its ICE rivals.
Ride and Handling
This is where Porsche magic happens. You get adaptive air suspension as standard and AWD variants get the new Porsche Active Ride Suspension to keep the car flat through corners and comfortable over bumps. Despite its size and weight, the Taycan corners like a much smaller sports car.
The cabin is silent, ergonomics are perfect and Apple CarPlay+ gives you app level control over climate functions. Even long drives feel peaceful.
Design and Looks
Not a major redesign but refined where it matters:
- Flatter headlights with HD-Matrix LEDs
- Illuminated Porsche logo at the rear
- Sharper bumpers and new alloy wheels
- Turbonite accents on Turbo models
Inside it’s clean and modern with leather-free options using sustainable Race-Tex and wool. The interface across all screens feels modern and thoughtfully laid out easy to use without being overwhelming.
