PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers several significant EV and automotive news items, with a particular focus on the new Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. The reviewer highlights its practical enhancements over the standard Taycan, such as increased cargo space and ground clearance, and notes its impressive performance across four available trims (4, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S), especially the Turbo S's astonishing 2-second 0-60 mph time. Pricing starts at $92,250, considered a solid value for the added versatility. The update also details Volvo's ambitious plan to go fully electric by 2030 and shift to online-only sales, alongside the reveal of the C40 Recharge coupe. Other news includes Mercedes-Benz teasing the EQS and E Performance models, rumored C63 specs, Aston Martin Valhalla powertrain changes, VW's potential ID.3 convertible and ID. Buzz updates, a rumored sub-Renegade Jeep, Cadillac's Blackwing future, Corvette interior redesign rumors, a GM patent for an in-car foot massager, Nissan's e-power thermal efficiency breakthrough, and the cancellation of Infiniti's Project Black S. The reviewer expresses skepticism about Volvo's blanket statement on customer preference for EVs and questions the practicality of online-only sales for all customers.
