Porsche updates 2022 Taycan with new tech and unique paints

The Porsche Taycan has scored a range of equipment updates as well as more options for exterior colours as a part of its 2022 refresh.

Harking back to the bright finishes of Porsche's 964-generation 911 sportscar, the Taycan can now be painted in any one of 63 'Paint to Sample' colours, adding to the range of 17 standard finishes already available.

Out of the 80 colours possible, some of these include moonlight blue metallic, acid green, Riviera blue, viola metallic and rubystone red (pictured) – while the Paint to Sample Plus option allows buyers to pick any colour they like as a custom order.

In terms of tech upgrades, the most significant is the option of remote park assist being made available across the range, allowing the Taycan to park itself without the owner behind the wheel via the Porsche Connect app – providing automatic control for both parallel and perpendicular parking.

Its Porsche Communication Management system has also been upgraded in line with updates earlier this year to the Cayenne, Panamera and 911 – featuring Android Auto for the first time as well as wireless Apple CarPlay, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Voice Pilot.

While the Taycan's powertrain hardware remains unchanged, a software tweak has allowed Porsche to potentially unlock greater driving range by almost completely uncoupling and de-energising the front electric motor while under partial load in all-wheel drive models, drawing less power which in theory provides additional kilometres.

Since its introduction in Australia this year, Porsche has sold 414 units of the Taycan to the end of July.
