New Porsche Taycan GTS facelift unveiled with elevated performance

ABU DHABI: After unveiling the facelifted version of the Taycan lineup, Porsche has now completed the range by introducing three exciting new variants. The new additions include the Taycan GTS sedan, Taycan GTS Sport Turismo and Taycan 4 sedan, expanding the lineup to 16 variants. 

Porsche has described the Taycan GTS sedan as the "all-rounder" version of the upgraded electric performance car. This new GTS has been positioned between the high-performance Turbo and the standard Taycan models. The Taycan GTS Sport Turismo offers a wagon-style sportier option, while with the Taycan 4 sedan, you get a more accessible all-wheel-drive version.

The Taycan GTS looks visually appealing with a striking 'Sport' front end, shared with the 4S and base model, while its air inlets have been finished in a high-gloss contrasting black. The wheels, available in 21-inch or 20-inch sizes, are offered uniquely in an Anthracite Grey finish.

Inside, both GTS versions are available with 18-way adjustable Race-Tex bucket seats. You also get the choice of the multi-function steering wheel of the Taycan Turbo GT. They are also available with a custom deceleration and acceleration soundtrack that elevates the thrilling character of GTS.

The new GTS Sport Turismo and Taycan GTS are  outfitted with a 97-kWh battery that offers a range of around 628 km which is a big improvement of 120 km. With the use of Launch Control, it produces up to 700 hp, and in comparison to the previous GTS, it offers 102 hp more, all thanks to a new rear motor that has shed weight by around 10 kg.

The GTS now accelerates from 0-100 kmph in just 3.3 seconds, making it 0.4 seconds faster. It also features a sportier suspension with the Active Ride system and optional rear-wheel steering for enhanced agility.

The new Taycan 4 version comes with an all-wheel drive, delivering the standard Performance battery with up to 408 hp or the Performance Plus battery with 435 hp, and up to 643 km range. It takes 4.4 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 kph, 0.1 seconds faster in comparison to the rear-wheel-drive model. Standard features include Adaptive Air Suspension with PASM and Porsche Traction Management (PTM).

All three Taycan versions —GTS Sport Turismo, GTS, and Taycan 4 have benefitted from the equipment updates and design introduced by Porsche for the 2025 model year. Across the range, these updates include an extensive list of standard features, elevating both performance and comfort. 

The Taycan is now equipped with the Porsche Driver Experience latest generation, which offers intuitive controls, improved connectivity, and a more immersive driving interface. The interior has also been refined for a more premium feel, while its appearance has been updated for a more dynamic, modern look.
