Native NACS ports, infotainment upgrade for MY27 Porsche Taycan

  • On Tuesday, Porsche announced the 2027 Taycan with new "E-Shift" virtual gears and a "more emotive Porsche Electric Sport Sound" for its electric lineup.
  • The automaker previously stated it would not replicate Hyundai's fake gear shifts, but reversed course after testing the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N in Germany.
  • Every 2027 Taycan now includes the 105 kWh Performance Battery Plus as standard, raising the base price to $114,250 and adding a Tesla-like NACS charging port.
  • Drivers can engage manual mode via steering wheel paddles to experience eight simulated gears, or select automatic mode, with deliveries beginning this fall.
  • Future Macan and Cayenne EV updates may also feature E-Shift technology, while stricter national battery safety standards take effect July 1, 2026.
