The cockpit of the Taycan has been designed in a fashion that places a clear focus on the driver axis. There is also a central 10.9-inch infotainment display and an optional display for the front passenger. As standard, the Taycan comes with a partial leather interior as well as front comfort seats with eight-way electrical adjustment.

With the standard Performance Battery, the new entry-level model delivers up to 408 PS of output. A single-deck Performance Battery with a gross capacity of 79.2 kWh is fitted as standard. The two-deck Performance Battery Plus is available as an option. The batteries can be charged from five to 80 per cent in 22 minutes and that power for a further 100 kilometres is achieved after only five minutes. The new Taycan can run between 431-484 kms on single charge.

However, this new model is slower than the other Taycan models. The new model can do zero to 100 kmph in 5.4 seconds. The all-wheel-drive versions of Taycan can do it under 4 seconds.
