PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO DETAILED REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo is presented as a unique offering in the EV market, with no direct competitors due to its wagon/shooting brake styling. The reviewer highlights its striking design, particularly the optional 21-inch wheels and body-colored options, and praises the build quality as exceptionally solid. Performance is a strong suit, with the dual-motor AWD system delivering immense acceleration and a responsive two-speed transmission at the rear, making it feel significantly more engaging and confidence-inspiring through corners than competitors like Tesla. The reviewer notes that while official economy figures suggest higher consumption, real-world results were surprisingly better. Positives include the dynamic chassis control, adaptive air suspension providing a comfortable ride despite large wheels, and the impressive charging speed (up to 260kW peak). However, the interior is criticized for a lack of practical storage space, a cramped rear seat feel, and the optional passenger display being deemed a redundant novelty. The regenerative braking system is also noted as being unpredictable at times. Overall, the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo is lauded for its sporty driving dynamics and Porsche DNA, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, electric vehicle.
