MY 2026 Taycan Configurator is out

*For 2026 "electric" on front doors is standard equipment

What I found weird about that was that there doesn't seem to be any way to delete the "electric" without also removing the rear model designation.

Are you sure nav uses the internet if you don’t renew Connect Services?

I believe you only lose things like real time traffic.

Analogus to driving in Guest mode.

What happens if you drive out of cellular coverage? Nav just shuts off?

Not relevant I think and won't happen to me unless I get well and truly lost!

Still have a map just not a precise location.

On-board navigation is called "sat-nav" for a reason: it uses signals from satellites to determine where the car is. The car electronics then uses its stored data to place you on a map, work out how to get to your destination and give you directions. None of this has anything to do with a mobile/cellular signal or data transferred 2-way between car and cloud. The only time the cellular data network becomes important is for extra data which isn't stored in the car - such as traffic info or internet searches for restaurants, etc. So if you lose your cellular connection the on-board nav still works fine.

Looks like they have removed the Cross Turismo 4, or the base "4" model. Not sure why. Unless it is still being updated with model variants.

I've driven through no-cell coverage areas, Porsche nav worked just fine, including directions and current location. Cellular connection is not required for GPS (it can aid it a little, but not required).

I specced up an MY26 that is basically same as mine and unless I am going crazy I think the MY26 is a bit cheaper. Or maybe it’s just the case that one or two of the options on my car are now thrown in. I guess if you had different options it would be different.

Odd too that they seem to have dropped the CT4 model and you go straight to the CT4S now.

CT4 didn't sell and just cluttered the model range. Can't imagine the RWD is a "big" seller either.

Performance Battery Plus and air suspension are now standard which has minimally altered pricing.

Air Suspension has been standard since the LCI, and not just the 2026 model year.

Not on RWD as it came with steel from launch was my understanding.

That is true for the pre-facelift. Since the facelift, however, air suspension has been standard on all Taycans, and not just in certain markets. So, air suspension being standard has nothing to do with the 2026 model year.

Unfortunately no upgrades on old PCMs

CT4 was the best bang for your Taycan dollar. It's essentially a software detuned 4S with PB+.

I wish they would drop the 2 tone interior or at least offer the beige, tan options without so much black also. It looks silly to me.
