PORSCHE TAYCAN 4 CROSS TURISMO: INSIDEEVS 70 MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo delivers an impressive real-world highway range, significantly exceeding its EPA rating. During the 70 mph highway range test conducted in Northern Colorado, the vehicle achieved 251.7 miles on a single charge, averaging 322 watt-hours per mile. The reviewer highlights the car's exceptional comfort, quietness, and stability, describing it as a "bank vault on wheels." Key factors contributing to its strong performance include the "ultimate range spec," 19-inch aero wheels, and the absence of roof rails, all optimizing aerodynamics. The reviewer notes that the Taycan's aerodynamic Cross Turismo body style and potentially the rear motor not decoupling (unlike previous generations) might slightly reduce range compared to the sedan variants. Despite these factors and a chilly ambient temperature, the vehicle's performance was outstanding. The reviewer also praises the Taycan's charging capabilities and route planning, suggesting it's a top contender for road-tripping EVs, potentially rivaled only by the Lucid Air.
