I OFF-ROAD THE BRAND NEW PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO! HERE'S WHAT IT'S LIKE

EV Channels Review

The TFLtalk episode delves into two distinct off-road experiences. The first showcases the capabilities of the new Land Rover Defender through a challenging media event at the Biltmore Estate, involving technical obstacles, navigation, and team-based problem-solving. The reviewer highlights the Defender's preparedness with specialized accessories and its impressive performance, culminating in their team winning the competition. The second segment features an unexpected off-road excursion in the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. Despite its sports car origins, the Taycan Cross Turismo, equipped with all-terrain tires and raised suspension, surprisingly tackled a challenging Colorado off-road trail, including shale sections. Key takeaways include the vehicle's well-protected undercarriage, excellent traction control, and surprisingly compliant ride in its highest setting, though radiator vulnerability and significant energy consumption during extreme off-roading were noted. The review emphasizes the Taycan Cross Turismo's unexpected off-road prowess, challenging preconceptions.
