PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO: FULL TOUR & FIRST DRIVE OF THE PRODUCTION-INTENT TEST MULE

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo prototype impresses with its enhanced practicality and retained driving dynamics. The reviewer highlights significant improvements in rear passenger headroom and overall cabin spaciousness compared to the standard Taycan sedan, making it a genuinely usable five-seater and a more versatile option for families and cargo. The hatchback design is a welcome addition, offering substantially more utility. Despite being a pre-production model, the Cross Turismo delivers the expected Porsche driving experience, with the reviewer noting that the added weight is well-managed, and features like rear-wheel steering contribute to agile handling. The new 'Gravel' mode, which increases ride height, is also a novel addition. While pricing is unknown, the reviewer suggests it will be expensive but worth the cost, positioning the Cross Turismo as a compelling, albeit premium, electric wagon that doesn't compromise on performance or luxury.
