Some images of MY 2025 Cross Turismo 4 in Oak Green

[GreenHornet]

There has been a couple of other posts about testdriving the facelift. Since I was lucky enough to test an Oak Green one thought I would make a seperate thread.

I had a testdrive myself with a CT4 2025 and it was nice to compare it to my CT4 2023. It is a bit faster and more responsive. Being a CT4 I was not able to test push to pass since that is just a 4S and higher option. Except for the range and power changes the biggest change is in the PCM. And I have to say that I like the new PCM better. Don't think they have done any changes to the hardware, just the software. The latest build for the gen1 Taycan PCM is 3882. The build in the loaner I had was 4405. Hardware says H9J1035070CE and in my CT4 it says H9J1035070BC. So they might have done a small revision on the hardware in the facelift, but nothing major. So there is no reason for them not to bring these changes to the pre-facelift.

As you can see that battery was as 73% with a range of 314km. With 100% that would be about 434km. But these testcars are not driven the most efficiently. So the real range would be higher is my guess.

This build also had softclose. A nice feature to have.

They have changed the ACC. They have basically inverted it so that you change speed by tapping upwards and downwards, and activate/deactive by pulling/pushing it.

The changes in the ACC through of for a second. Don't think they will bring these changes to the pre-facelift since it would be muscle memory for most customers. And it's a but surprising they did change it.

The design is growing on me. I like the new front and the headlights. Attached some images of the car I tested.

I took an image of the wiper setup, since there has been some issues in the nordic contries with winter conditions. I can't see that they have changed anything here unfortunatly.

What's the ACC change?

Sorry, I forgot to add that in the text. I have added it.

I’ll just add that pictures don’t do justice for this color… it’s beautiful in person.

I LOVE this color. It is beatiful in person. If I where to change my Mambe green CT4 I would get Oak Green (or maybe Crayon).

Here is also a couple of images of another MY2025 Oak green CT4S for sale at the dealership.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the colour but would hesitate to pay the premium over other metallics - there is no reason for it. Mamba should have been replaced with this colour (sorry @f1eng) as I think it would be really quite popular .... perhaps, that's Porsche's ruse of course!

Can I ask what the problem with the wipers is? I am moving from Texas back to Minnesota, and nordic winters are the norm there (which is probably why there are so many of Scandinavian descent there).

I don't see Oak Green on the color options list in the US configurator.....I have a 2020 4S in Mambe Green, and would look forward to migrating to Oak Green on my next Taycan.

The “negotiated settlement” reached between the Porsche designers and engineers on the 2025 Taycan still leaves me wanting from an aesthetics point of view. I do appreciate this additional color choice and the overall capability/practicality they’ve added. While my heart may never desire one, my brain may ultimately conclude that a CPO version of this may be warranted in future if there is continued foot dragging by Porsche on a full EV Panamera….hopefully in wagon form (fingers crossed).

What do you think about the illuminated rear light after seeing it in-person? Besides the visual changes in software, did it feel faster, snappier, better etc in any way - in other words, what are we as ‘gen1 losers’ missing? ?

I find the current color selection on the Porsche configurator to be disappointing....pale, conservative in comparison with past options.

I feel that most things that Porsche offers are a matter of taste but this particular one is objectively bad….tasteless.

I am not sold on the rear light yet. The PCM is a bit more responsive on the surface, but when you start using it for routeplanning and scrolling around in the map +++ it's the same. So, not missing out on much except for the UX changes.

The problem is that when you get lot's of snow and use the front wipers in certain temperatures you will get ice buildups on the front window. This is due to the fact that there is no heating in the front window where the wipers rest and/or heat in the wiperblades. It's not a huge problem, you can turn down the cabin temp and most of the problems goes away. But in this pricesegment this should not be a problem.
