Current Porsche Taycan 4 Black Edition (2026 – Present) – Ultimate Guide
For those who require more traction, the Taycan 4 Black Edition introduces an all-wheel-drive system while maintaining the same 429 hp peak output as the base model. The added grip from the front motor improves its off-the-line acceleration slightly, delivering a 0–60 mph time of 4.4 seconds. Starting at about $124,600, it comes standard with massive 21-inch Aero Design wheels and HD-Matrix Design LED headlights, which feature over 64,000 pixels for industry-leading visibility. Inside, the cabin is elevated with 14-way comfort seats, a BOSE® Surround Sound system, and an exclusive “Black Edition” badge on the center console.
True to its name, the Taycan Black Edition leans heavily into a darker, more cohesive design theme. High-gloss black finishes are applied to the window surrounds, mirror caps, and rear badging, while black brushed-aluminum door sills and gloss black interior trim reinforce the look inside. The SportDesign body kit comes standard, adding more aggressive front and rear bumper treatments and darkened side-skirt accents that give the Taycan a lower, more purposeful stance. Standard 21-inch wheels complete the package, combining black detailing with silver aluminum faces and full-color Porsche crest center caps for a subtle contrast.
Despite the Black Edition name, Porsche hasn’t limited buyers to a single exterior shade. All of the brand’s “Shades” colors — including Jet Black Metallic, Volcano Grey Metallic, Dolomite Silver Metallic, and Ice Grey Metallic — are offered at no extra cost, and buyers can still dip into Porsche’s famously extensive Paint to Sample program for something more distinctive. Inside, the Black Edition is available with either Slate Grey leather or a two-tone interior that blends dark and light elements for a more upscale feel.
Where Porsche goes beyond a typical appearance package is beneath the skin. While the standard Taycan, Taycan 4, and Taycan 4S all use an 89-kWh battery in their base forms, the Black Edition includes the Performance Battery Plus as standard. This larger 105-kWh pack delivers both increased range and stronger performance, lifting output to 429 horsepower in the rear-wheel-drive Taycan and Taycan 4, while the Taycan 4S jumps to an impressive 590 horsepower.
The Black Edition treatment extends to equipment as well. Comfort and convenience features such as blind-spot monitoring, surround-view cameras, active parking assistance, and Matrix Design LED headlights all come standard. Inside, 14-way power comfort seats with embossed Porsche crests, a Bose surround-sound system, and Porsche’s Electric Sport Sound round out a package that feels thoughtfully curated rather than simply blacked out.
Stepping into the Taycan 4 Black Edition, Porsche adds all-wheel drive to the mix, giving the sedan more confident traction and dynamic balance without fundamentally changing its character. Power output remains similar to the base Black Edition, but the AWD system broadens usability in varied weather conditions and adds a touch more responsiveness on twisty roads.
