Porsche announced today that it will hold 4 premieres at Canada’s largest auto show next week. Among them are the Taycan 2025, which had its world premiere a few days ago, and the new Panamera 2024, which has its North American premiere. It will be located at 700 point of the south building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
The 2025 Taycan – improved in almost every discipline
Porsche has given the Taycan a vital upgrade. With new front and rear styling with new front and rear fenders, the experts at Porsche Style have further subtletized the sleek and puristic design of the Taycan. New front fenders and flatter fenders put even more emphasis on the width of the Taycan. The new headers feature a high-resolution HD matrix generation with detailed optics and now also display the brand’s signature four-point graphics at night. The Porsche logo on the rear strip of the gentile features a three-dimensional design that mimics glass. It is available for the first time in a smooth edition with welcome animations at the front and when exiting the vehicle. Among other notable features, the Turbonite accessory color allows the Turbo and Turbo S models to stand out more clearly from others. trim, both on the outside and inside.
Inside, the tool cluster, center display and optional passenger display feature an optimized user interface with additional support. Steering wheel mode transfer is now standard. For Taycan models supplied with the Sport Chrono and Performance Battery Plus package, there is a special Button to switch to transfer mode. Thanks to the new control lever located on the left steering wheel, controlling the driver assistance systems is even more intuitive. Apple CarPlay has been incorporated more deeply into the displays and vehicle assistance system. The new In-Car Video allows video streaming on the center screen and passenger display.
The updated Taycan charges faster: at 800-volt DC charging stations, for example, it can be increased up to 320 kW. That’s 50 kW more than before. Thanks to increased charging stability, maximum charging capacities of more than three hundred kW can be maintained even for up to five minutes. The fast-charging window of the new functional battery has been specially extended, allowing maximum charging capacities to be reached more quickly, even at low temperatures. Depending on the individual driving profile, this can halve the time needed to go from 10 to 80% compared to the predecessor. On the first-generation Taycan, the charging time from 10 to 80% SOC at 15 degrees Celsius is 37 minutes. Under the same conditions, the Taycan style only takes 18 minutes despite its larger battery capacity.
All updated Taycan models come with adaptive air suspension as standard. The new Porsche Active Ride suspension can be ordered as an option for the all-wheel-drive versions. This formula provides unprecedented bandwidth between ride comfort and driving dynamics. The suspension helps maintain the stability of the Taycan at all times, even during dynamic braking, steering and acceleration manoeuvres. With a smooth ride, the formula absorbs shocks almost completely. In dynamic driving situations, the Porsche Active Ride suspension ensures the best connection to the road thanks to a balanced distribution of loads between the wheels. If the proper mode is activated, the suspension can compensate for pitch and roll movements to decrease the acceleration forces acting on the occupants.
