Porsche has expanded its electric vehicle portfolio in India with the launch of the Taycan 4S Black Edition, priced at ₹2.07 crore (ex-showroom, before options). This new variant builds on the foundation of the standard Taycan 4S, offering a distinctive dark-themed design both inside and out, while retaining its potent all-electric powertrain.
Stylish Black Treatment with More Colour Choices
Despite its “Black Edition” title, the new variant is offered in 13 exterior colours as standard, including Jet Black Metallic, Volcano Grey, Carmine Red, Gentian Blue, Frozenblue Metallic, and even unique hues like Provence (light purple) and Frozenberry (a subtle pink). Porsche also offers custom paint finishes that range from ₹5.11 lakh to a staggering ₹32.18 lakh, depending on the colour selected.
On the outside, the Taycan 4S Black Edition receives a high-gloss black finish on the front apron, side skirts, rear diffuser, lower ORVMs, window trim, and even the badges. It rides on 21-inch Aero Design alloy wheels finished in gloss black, while the headlamps are smoked for a more aggressive appearance. Porsche’s puddle lamps that project the brand logo in white are also part of the package.
Same Electrifying Performance
Under the hood—or rather, beneath the floor—the Taycan 4S Black Edition is powered by a 105kWh battery pack (97kWh usable). It sends power to both axles via dual electric motors, delivering a combined output of 598hp and 710Nm. The result is a claimed 0-100 km/h time of just 3.7 seconds, with a WLTP-certified range of up to 668km on a single charge. On a 320kW DC fast charger, it can juice up from 5-80% in just 18 minutes.
This version costs approximately ₹11 lakh more than the standard Taycan 4S, largely due to its exclusive cosmetic enhancements and additional standard features.
Interior: Familiar Layout with Exclusive Upholstery
The interior layout of the Taycan 4S Black Edition mirrors the standard model, with premium features like:
-
14-way power adjustable front seats
-
Four-zone climate control
-
Panoramic glass roof
-
710W 14-speaker Bose sound system
-
360-degree camera
-
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
For upholstery, buyers get a choice of four standard themes – two Race-Tex (a suede-like Alcantara and leatherette mix) options in black, and two all-leather monotone options, one of which is also black. Dual-tone themes are available at an added cost.
Verdict
With the Taycan 4S Black Edition, Porsche adds a bold and stylish new flavour to its electric sedan lineup in India. While the performance remains unchanged, the enhanced aesthetics, greater personalisation options, and premium features make it a compelling alternative for those seeking both sophistication and sustainability in a high-performance EV package.
