\"2027(Images: Porsche) The Porsche Taycan gets several noteworthy changes for the new year, if you\u2019re willing to pay more for it. <\/p>\n

Porsche last gave its electric Taycan an extensive update for the 2024 model year, but we\u2019re getting a few more tweaks for 2027. From the batteries to the sound and even the feel of fake shifts, there\u2019s a host of changes in store compared to what you\u2019ve been able to buy for the past few years.<\/p>\n

Starting off, the base-level battery pack in the 2027 Porsche Taycan is no more. Now, the larger 105-kWh (97-kWh usable) pack is the default, rather than an 89-kWh (83.7-kWh usable) unit. The larger pack boosts standard range on the Taycan, Taycan 4 and Taycan 4S, with a commensurate boost to 320-kW fast-charging on 800-volt capable charging stations. Speaking of charging, the passenger-side port on most Taycan models (with the exception of the Turbo GT with the Weissach Package) is now a NACS-native setup, rather than CCS. The driver\u2019s side port is still a J1772 AC port, as it was before.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat about the fake shifts?\u201d, you ask? Similar to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and 6 N, you\u2019ll now get virtual gear changes to mimic an internal combustion engine sports car. Accompanying the simulated shifting, Porsche is also integrating a \u201creinterpreted\u201d Porsche Electric Sport Sound that varies depending on which Taycan you own. With the E-Shift mode switching between automatic and manual setups, the feature makes it feel like you have an 8-speed gearbox, complete with paddle shifters and a virtual rev counter, when you enable it. <\/p>\n

The 2027 Porsche Taycan further gets an infotainment update, allowing for over-the-air updates, as well as a magnetic wireless phone charger that charges about 50% faster than before. <\/p>\n

Since the Taycan now gets the larger battery pack that was formerly the $5,780 Performance Battery Plus option, the baseline price is rising as well. This upcoming model year will see a $114,250 MSRP, making it $6,200 higher than it was for 2026. Still, you get better range (Porsche didn\u2019t announce 2027 figures, but the Taycan 4 and 4S with the bigger battery manages about 315 miles, per the EPA), and you get a couple more features to play with. The updated Taycan is available to order now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Images: Porsche) The Porsche Taycan gets several noteworthy changes for the new year, if you\u2019re willing to pay…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21181],"tags":[34231,34232,22570,34233,2989,21740,32242,24244,34234,34235,34236,32525,8406,34237,34238,34239,21299,34240,34241,34242,34243],"class_list":["post-38699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-porsche","tag-2027-ev","tag-2027-taycan","tag-car-tech","tag-car-updates","tag-electric-car","tag-electric-vehicle","tag-ev-news","tag-future-cars","tag-luxury-ev","tag-new-car-release","tag-new-taycan","tag-performance-ev","tag-porsche","tag-porsche-2027","tag-porsche-ev","tag-porsche-news","tag-porsche-taycan","tag-taycan-2027","tag-taycan-changes","tag-taycan-review","tag-taycan-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
