EV Channels Review
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S is showcased in this video tackling a challenging off-road obstacle, demonstrating surprising capability beyond its typical on-road performance. The reviewer highlights the effectiveness of the "Gravel Mode," which significantly aids traction and power delivery on loose surfaces by adjusting stability control and simulating a locking differential. Key positives include the instant torque and precise throttle control offered by the electric powertrain, allowing for meticulous maneuvering over difficult terrain. The vehicle's higher ride height and underbody protection are noted as beneficial for off-road excursions. While acknowledging it's not a dedicated off-roader, the Taycan Cross Turismo impressively handles articulation, wheel lift, and steep inclines with minimal drama. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for the potential of electric vehicles in overlanding and off-roading, suggesting the Taycan Cross Turismo could be a highly capable "do-everything" car for those willing to explore its limits.
