THIS IS THE EV OF THE YEAR! PORSCHE TAYCAN 4 CROSS TURISMO 2023 REVIEW W/ RANGE AND CHARGING TEST

EV Channels Review

The Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is lauded as the 2022 EV of the Year, with the reviewer highlighting its exceptional driving dynamics and ride quality, surpassing even other EVs. While acknowledging its high price point, the base '4' Cross Turismo trim is presented as offering significant value, providing the full Taycan experience without the need for higher, more expensive trims. The reviewer praises the standard dual motors, air suspension, and the performance battery plus as key advantages over the sedan variants. Practicality is addressed with a usable frunk and a well-proportioned boot, though it's noted as a mid-size rather than a large wagon. Interior quality is deemed excellent, with a well-integrated three-screen setup. The vehicle's highway range, improved by a recent software update to over 460km, and its rapid 800-volt charging capability (17 minutes from 50 to 350km range) are significant positives. Despite its weight, the Taycan's handling, grip, and intuitive steering are its standout features, offering a truly engaging driving experience that embodies the Porsche spirit. The reviewer concludes that it's one of the best vehicles to drive, period, offering hope for engaging EVs in a fully electrified future.
