In addition, the air intake shape of the front face of the new car has also been adjusted, and the aerodynamic effect is more excellent.

The side and rear parts of the car have not changed much, but the wheel rim style has been redesigned to incorporate a low wind resistance design, which Porsche says will add additional 40km endurance to the vehicle in WLTP conditions. In addition, the new Taycan also makes great efforts in lightweight, whether it is the body material or motor and other aspects of weight loss, so the vehicle quality is reduced 15kg.

Interior decoration can be said to be a major part of the new car, although the overall design is basically the same as the old model, more reflected in the material, function and other aspects. Specifically, the new Taycan offers a brand new two-color interior for consumers to choose from, wrapped in a soft material inside the door, and provides wireless charging.
