Visually, the new model of the Porsche Taycan looks identical to the existing trims, featuring the low and wide stance with highly contoured wings. The sculpted profile highlights the sporty roofline sloping downwards to the rear section. The car also features a set of 19-inch Taycan Aero wheels and black anodised brake callipers. Even the front apron, side sills and rear diffuser are treated in black and look similar to the Taycan 4S. The LED headlights are also standard.

The car also gets a 10.9-inch infotainment display along with the free-standing curved instrument cluster
The core design of the cabin too remains unchanged, and the party piece here is the free-standing curved instrument cluster on the dashboard. The car also gets a centrally positioned 10.9-inch infotainment display and an optional display for the front passenger. The new Taycan variants come with the partial leather interior as standard along with 14-way comfort seats with Memory Package in the front. Moreover, it is the first Porsche model to come with an entirely leather-free interior made from innovative recycled materials. The car also features two luggage compartments, a small 84 litres compartment at the front, and a larger 407 litres one at the rear.
