The updated 2025 Porsche Taycan offers significantly more driving range than the previous generation. And it's not just because of the revised model's bigger battery. Porsche has made the Taycan more efficient, too.
According to the German manufacturer, the new Porsche Taycan has an EPA-estimated range of 252 to 318 miles depending on the version. For reference, the outgoing Porsche Taycan was rated between 206 and 246 miles of EPA combined range, but the model has a history of going further in real-world highway range tests (at speeds of about 70 mph). Only time will tell whether that's the case with the new one.

Porsche Taycan with 300+ miles range
The 2025 Porsche Taycan brings a huge leap in terms of EPA Combined driving range. Previously the family struggled to exceed 250 miles, now all versions are above 250 miles, and the top one reached 318 miles.
The entry-level Porsche Taycan with an 89-kilowatt-hour battery has an EPA range of 274 miles, but when equipped with the Performance Battery Plus (105 kWh), range increases to 318 miles. That's the first and only 300+ mile result from the Taycan family. But all versions go over 250 miles, which used to be the ceiling for the range.
The more powerful versions don't go quite as far as the base model, which is typical. We can also see a slight difference between the sedan version (266-318 miles with a 105-kWh battery) and the Cross Turismo version (261-277 miles with the same battery).
Here is the full list, along with how much each figure has changed relative to the previous model.
2025 Porsche Taycan EPA Range (vs. old versions)
| Model | Drive | Battery (kWh) | EPA Range | Change | Old EPA Range |
| Taycan (89 kWh) 19-in | RWD | 89 | 274 mi | +66 mi (32%) | 208 mi |
| Taycan (105 kWh) 19-in | RWD | 105 | 318 mi | +76 mi (31%) | 242 mi |
| Taycan 4S (89 kWh) 19-in | AWD | 89 | 252 mi | +46 mi (22%) | 206 mi |
| Taycan 4S (105 kWh) 19-in | AWD | 105 | 295 mi | +60 mi (26%) | 235 mi |
| Taycan Turbo 20-in | AWD | 105 | 292 mi | +54 mi (23%) | 238 mi |
| Taycan Turbo S 21-in | AWD | 105 | 266 mi | +44 mi (20%) | 222 mi |
| Taycan Turbo GT 21-in | AWD | 105 | 276 mi | N/A | |
| Taycan Turbo GT Weissach 21-in | AWD | 105 | 269 mi | N/A | |
| Taycan 4 Cross Turismo 19-in | AWD | 105 | 277 mi | +42 mi (18%) | 235 mi |
| Taycan 4S Cross Turismo 19-in | AWD | 105 | 272 mi | +42 mi (18%) | 230 mi |
| Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo 20-in | AWD | 105 | 265 mi | +32 mi (14%) | 233 mi |
| Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo 21-in | AWD | 105 | 261 mi | +39 mi (18%) | 222 mi |
The highest range gains—31-32%—were achieved in the base Taycan, which is rear-wheel drive. All other versions are all-wheel drive. Porsche put a new rear-axle motor and a modified pulse inverter with new software in the latest Taycan, which may explain why the RWD one sees the largest gain.
The Taycan sedans with AWD have 20-26% more range, while the Taycan Cross Turismo gets 14-18% more range (the 14% figure may be to additional changes or different wheels, as it is an anomaly in this set).
This is interesting because—as we noted in the previous post—the new 2025 Porsche Taycan has a 12.4% higher total battery capacity (the net battery capacity increased by about 15.9%).
- Base battery: 89.0 kWh (82.3 kWh usable)
[up by 9.8 kWh or 12.4% from 79.2 kWh (71.0 kWh usable)] - Perf. Battery Plus: 105.0 kWh (97.0 kWh usable)
[up by 11.6 kWh or 12.4% from 93.4 kWh (83.7 kWh usable)]
So while range may have increased 15.9% due to the larger battery alone, everything else must be a result of improved efficiency. Besides the new rear drive unit, Porsche noted also a next-generation heat pump, a modified regenerative braking system, revised all-wheel-drive tuning, new wheels and different tire options.
It's possible that in the 70 mph highway range test, we will see multiple Porsche Taycan variants with a range somewhere around 300 miles.
