The Porsche Taycan and Taycan Cross Turismo will start the new model year in September 2021 with extensive changes.
Porsche states the new Taycan model year will not be homologated separately, so there will not be any new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure range values.
However, the real-world range of the latest versions will be greater in day-to-day use. This has been largely achieved via adjustments to when the front electric motor is decoupled and de-energised in the all-wheel drive models.
The thermal management and charging functions have also been improved. With the Turbo Charging Planner, the high-voltage battery will now be heated to a slightly higher temperature than before, allowing fast charging to start earlier and at a higher charge level.
A new Remote Park Assist function will also make it possible to remotely control parking manoeuvres via a smartphone when driving into and out of parking spaces. The function will independently take over steering and control of the forward and reverse movements of the vehicle to move it into a parking lot.
Android Auto is now also integrated into the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment system. Selected phone functions and smartphone apps that do not adversely affect driving safety can therefore now be operated via PCM 6.0 or the Google Assistant voice commands.
Finally, as part of the continually developing personalisation strategy of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, the Taycan is now also available with Paint to Sample and Paint to Sample Plus, in addition to 17 standard paint colours.
The first option allows painting with 65 additional colours, at present. This includes colours such as Moonlight Blue Metallic, Acid Green, Rubystar Red (as pictured), Riviera Blue and Viola Metallic.
Paint to Sample Plus meanwhile, will give Porsche Taycan customers almost complete freedom in their choice of colour, even permitting them to match their Taycan to their favourite accessory.
