Porsche has clarified that the Taycan will not be replaced by a future electric version of the Panamera. The company intends to keep both four-door models in its lineup, emphasizing their distinct market positions and characteristics.
Measuring 4,963 mm (195.4 inches) long, the Taycan is only slightly shorter than the Panamera, which recently entered its third generation. Despite the similarity in size, the Taycan is positioned as a sporty, performance-oriented model, while the Panamera focuses more on luxury and interior space.

Kevin Giek, Vice President of the Taycan Product Line at Porsche, confirmed this strategy in a conversation with Autocar. He emphasized that the Taycan is considered a “long-lasting” nameplate, akin to the iconic 911. Giek also indicated that the Taycan will continue to evolve and improve, with the next generation expected to debut around 2028 or 2029.
Unlike the Panamera, which is limited to standard and long-wheelbase sedans, the Taycan is available in Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo bodystyles. This versatility allows Porsche to cater to different customer preferences within the electric vehicle market.

Regarding the future design of the Taycan, Giek hinted at an evolutionary approach, consistent with Porsche’s design philosophy. The focus will be on maintaining the car’s distinctive silhouette and sports car characteristics. However, he clarified that the Taycan will not adopt the PPE architecture used in the all-new Macan EV, as the platform is better suited for SUVs.
