2022 Porsche Taycan: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest 2022 Porsche Taycan change is a broad software update that improves phone integration, infotainment usability, and fast-charging preparation. It is not a redesign, but the GTS trim and Sport Turismo body style also join the lineup.
About the 2022 Porsche Taycan
1st generation Taycan (2020-2024), third model year; lineup expansion year with the new GTS and Sport Turismo alongside a broad 2022 tech update.
The Taycan is Porsche’s take on an electric sports car for everyday use. Porsche markets it around instant performance, repeatable high-speed driving, very fast 800-volt charging, and a cabin that feels futuristic without losing the brand’s driver-focused layout. Against rivals, its main draw is not maximum range or gadget count; it is the way it blends sports-sedan responses, strong braking, and premium finish with real daily usability.
The rear-wheel-drive base sedan keeps the layout simple, while the all-wheel-drive 4S serves as the all-around performance choice. The new GTS is the driver-focused middle ground, with up to 590 hp, sport-tuned air suspension, and dark exterior details; the Turbo S tops the regular range with up to 750 hp, ceramic brakes, and rear-wheel steering. Cross Turismo models emphasize cargo room, extra rear headroom, and light rough-road ability.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Battery pre-heating, thermal management, and charging-planner logic were revised to help shorten DC fast-charging stops. The new dual-motor, all-wheel-drive GTS delivers up to 590 hp and sits between the 4S and Turbo.
Styling
The new GTS brings a SportDesign front end and dark exterior trim. The new Sport Turismo expands the Taycan family with another body style.
Tech
Android Auto joins the main touchscreen across the range. Porsche also revised the navigation graphics, voice controls, and menu layout for clearer operation.

2022 Porsche Taycan
(72 reviews)
“I don't like that there are 2 touchscreen systems to adjust music, climate, etc. I would rather 1 touch screen and the other to be a set of physical knobs to make adjustments.”
“The Porsche Taycan is an amazing EV! My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner!”
