PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO S CROSS TURISMO | EXPERIMENTS GONE RIGHT

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is lauded as a "masterpiece of engineering" and an "amazing experiment gone right," successfully translating Porsche's traditional sports car DNA into the EV realm. Reviewers highlight its exceptional build quality, solid feel, and superior suspension tuning, offering a refined and comfortable ride that surpasses many competitors. The car excels in handling, body control, and overall drivability, feeling more like a traditional sports car than an EV. However, the Turbo S variant is criticized for its "incredibly expensive" price tag and lagging interior technology, particularly the slow infotainment system. While the performance, especially launch control, is impressive, it's deemed "completely unnecessary" for most. The primary drawbacks for this "Gen 1 EV" are range anxiety and the need for constant planning, with the test car returning to the shop with only two miles of range. Despite these issues, the Taycan's refinement and engineering are considered its strongest points, setting it apart from competitors like Tesla.
