Porsche Taycan Facelift Prices Announced for India, Starts at Rs 1.89 Crore

Months after it unveiled its updated Taycan electric sedan, Porsche has now listed the model on the India website. While the launch will happen sometime later, the Taycan 4S II and the Turbo II are priced at Rs 1.82 crore and Rs 2.53 crore, respectively. Both prices are ex-showroom, India. 

For a facelift, the Porsche Taycan gets a host of electrical upgrades, making it more powerful and quicker than the outgoing version. It comes in two configurations: a rear-wheel-drive setup and an all-wheel-drive arrangement, depending on the variant selected. Porsche has yet to launch the entry-level variant with a rear-wheel-drive system; however, at its price, the Taycan 4S II can be had with either an 89kWh or an optional 105kWh battery pack. In the global-spec Taycan Facelift, the WLTP-certified range figures stand at 557km for the smaller battery and 642km for the bigger battery, while the power and torque figures can reach up to 510bhp (590bhp with overboost) and 710Nm (using launch control), respectively. The India-spec figures are yet to be revealed.
