MY FIRST EV!! COLLECTING THE TAYCAN 4S CROSS TURISMO FROM PORSCHE!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer collects their new Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, marking their first foray into EV ownership. They express excitement about potential cost savings and the practicality of the Cross Turismo variant, highlighting its increased headroom, larger boot, and spacious rear compared to the standard Taycan. The vehicle comes standard with the larger Performance battery and features a three-chamber air suspension offering variable ride heights and a unique 'Gravel' mode. The reviewer finds the 4S trim's power output (490 BHP, 571 BHP on overboost) to be the 'sweet spot' for daily use and occasional fun, deeming options like rear-wheel steering and Porsche Torque Vectoring unnecessary for most builds. They detail their 'Goldilocks' spec, opting for a gloss white exterior with gloss black accents, red standard steel brakes, and the off-road design package for an aggressive look. Inside, they emphasize the 'four plus one' seating, 8-way electric comfort seats, heated seats, ambient lighting, and the painted vehicle key. Key options also include LED matrix headlights, a panoramic roof, Park View Assist, Bose surround sound, and the highly recommended Porsche Electric Sound. The reviewer praises the Porsche Intelligent Range Manager for its navigation and charging planning capabilities. The car's total cost is just over £100,000, with the reviewer aiming for an exciting exterior and sporty interior without excessive options. They plan to use the Taycan as their daily driver, primarily charging at home, and anticipate a full review soon.
