PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO TURBO S REVIEW - EV SUPERCAR OFFROAD WAGON

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S is presented as an exceptionally versatile electric vehicle, capable of performing as a sports car, off-road vehicle, and family estate. The reviewer highlights its unique styling, particularly the painted crossover wheel arches exclusive to the Turbo S, and the increased practicality offered by the estate-like rear hatch, which provides more headroom and easier cargo loading compared to the sedan. The off-road capabilities are demonstrated, with the gravel mode offering enhanced traction and the ability to raise the suspension significantly. Performance is lauded as "super insane," with instant torque and precise handling, even at high speeds. However, significant drawbacks are noted: the high price point (100,000-200,000 euros/dollars) and the range, which is considered insufficient compared to similarly priced or cheaper mid-size EVs. Despite these criticisms, the Cross Turismo's blend of sportiness, practicality, and unique design is seen as a compelling package, potentially outselling the sedan version, especially in markets like Germany.
