TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO: IT’S SO GOOD… I’M BUYING ONE!

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S is presented as a compelling evolution of the Taycan, offering enhanced practicality without compromising performance. The reviewer highlights the standard inclusion of the Performance Battery Plus, improved headroom, and significantly increased luggage space compared to the standard Taycan. The unique "Gravel" driving mode and the three-chamber air suspension are noted for their versatility, allowing the car to adapt to various surfaces and ride heights. Design-wise, the Cross Turismo, especially with the optional off-road design package, is praised for its muscular and aggressive "shooting brake supercar" aesthetic, which the reviewer finds superior to the sedan. While the interior largely mirrors the standard Taycan, the added space and optional "4+1" seating are appreciated. Performance remains exceptional, with the Turbo S delivering blistering acceleration and sharp, precise handling, feeling much lighter than its weight suggests. The reviewer notes the enhanced "spaceship-like" electric sport sound. However, a significant drawback identified is the range, which was found to be under 200 miles for the Turbo S, lagging behind newer competitors. Despite this, the reviewer, a self-proclaimed petrolhead, is so impressed that they have ordered a Cross Turismo 4S, citing its blend of performance, practicality, lower running costs, and aggressive design as reasons for crossing over to EVs.
