The Porsche Taycan has been named Car and Driver magazine's EV of the Year for 2025.

A total of 24 electric vehicles from 15 different manufacturers participated in the test to select the winner of the 2025 Car and Driver EV of the Year award:
- handling
- brake
- acceleration
- charging
- Range

They were tested and rated in four categories:
- Fun to Drive
- Mission Fulfillment
- Value
- Technology Application

Car and Driver's staff, who drove a wide range of Taycan models, from the rear-wheel-drive sedan and Cross Turismo to the Taycan Turbo GT, rated the Taycan's optional Active Ride Suspension as the top choice for technology application and driving enjoyment, making it the clear winner overall.

The 2025 Car and Driver EV of the Year award will be on display at Porsche's Atlanta headquarters in the US.
Tony Quiroga, editor-in-chief of Car and Driver, says the Porsche Taycan is packed with the same joy and excitement as a Porsche sports car.

This Car and Driver EV of the Year award follows the Taycan's previous win as Road & Track's Performance EV of the Year.
