- BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A PORSCHE TAYCAN CROSS TURISMO FROM OSV: bit.ly/35t70kG
From launch, Porsche's first fully battery-powered model, the Taycan, was billed as the company's first all-electric sports car. Can a sportscar also be an SUV? Porsche's insisting that it can - and to prove the point, has brought us this Taycan spin-off model, the Taycan Cross Turismo.

Background
Porsche has now long been a company as much about SUVs as sportscars. So it's natural that the brand's EV development should reflect that. The eye-watering level of investment needed means that it needs to anyway. Which is why the Taycan range was broadened in 2021 to include this crossover body style, available in both Sport Turismo guise and in this more SUV-like 'Cross Turismo' form.
It might look like something from a Spielberg film and a car that can't quite make up its mind what it wants to be - Porsche doesn't like calling it an 'estate'. But it's likely to be the most popular of the Taycan models going forward and, a little surprisingly, does have a degree of (optional) prowess for limited use off a paved surface. Sounds intriguing.
Driving Experience
The Cross Turismo shares the same powertrain options as the normal Taycan, save for the fact that it can't be ordered with two things most customers for this Porsche EV don't tend to want anyway - rear-wheel drive and the smaller 79.2kWh battery pack. All variants get the Taycan's usual twin e-motor set-up, with the rear unit driving a 2-speed transmission with a shorter initial ratio optimised for initial acceleration. The standardised 93.4kWh 'Performance Battery Plus' set-up will take the car anywhere between 241 and 283 miles, depending on variant and the conditions. Though not if you exercise your right foot as you'll be tempted to.
All derivatives are almost indecently fast for anything proporting to be an SUV. Even the base 4 Cross Turismo variant has 476PS and gets to 62mph in just 5.1s en route to 137mph. The 571PS 4S version improves those stats to 4.1s and 149mph. Both the Turbo and the Turbo S variants develop a standard 625PS, but also feature a Launch Control feature that for short periods can boost that to 680PS on the Turbo and as much as 762PS on the Turbo S, the latter as a consequence able to demolish the 0-62mph sprint in just 2.9s.
A must-have in our view is the 'Off-Road Design Package', which adds an extra 'gravel' drive mode and an extra 10mm of ride height, so you can make assertive progress down the kind of light, unpaved roads that would damage an ordinary Taycan. You'll unsettle your passengers if you do that though; there's no 'comfort'-orientated 'chassis' mode and you can expect a firm feel.
Design and Build
You can have this crossover-style Taycan design in two forms. We tested the more SUV-like Cross Turismo model. The alternative is the Sport Turismo model, basically the same car but without side cladding or raised suspension.
Our focus here, as I've said, is on the Cross Turismo variant, which sits 20mm higher off the ground than the standard Taycan Sports Saloon (or 30mm higher with the 'Off-Road Design Package' fitted, as on our test car). Both the Sport and Cross Turismo models have a nose section differentiated from that of the ordinary four-door Taycan by a specific front apron.
The unusual profile's defined by a sporty flyline that slopes towards the rear, ending in a high-gloss black fixed roof spoiler. Enhanced wheel arch trims are intended to underline this model's sporty crossover character. And as on the saloon, there are flat door handles that are flush with the doors and pop out electrically when required.

My Father has this car the 4S Cross Turismo, enjoys the upgraded 22kW AC charging for home on three phase which other electric cars don't have. Although he had to wait 8 months for it to arrive in the UK.
Very easy to understand and good
I’ve been looking at exactly this version, but fully loaded as I’d like it is approximately £150k
But I’ve just configured a fully specced Jag I-Pace and that’s half the price at approximately £75k, with enough left over to buy a plaything vehicle like a Porsche 964 targa currently on AutoTrader
I’m thinking that’s the best option, but Is the Taycan Cross 4S worth choosing over that ?

The Porsche website and the specification / customisation is so vast and complicated - you can add an eye watering amount without realising it. 😂 would love if you could provide an ideal configuration for the cross turismo 4s .

good info....but got sick of the crunchy gravel noises
@22:32 HPC (eq. Ionity) has nothing to do with 22kW charger. That one is for shopping malls etc, where you leave the car for a while. You still get the awesome 270kW charging if you don't opt in the 22kW AC charger.
Thanks for pointing this out! What are your thoughts on the Taycan Cross Turismo?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply Can't afford one new, but we testdrove it and fell in love (OFC!). So when our lease ends on C40, we'll be getting used MY22 Taycan 4 Cross Turismo for sure. The only car I can forgive not having OPD :D
Its a raised Taycan Sport Turismo, not a SUV
I agree however with air suspension settings the cross can be lowered to the sport.
This car has nothing to do with SUV it’s to low.
It’s more sport estate 🤦
Thanks for watching Irek! Are you interested in getting one?
No I never have been a fan of Porsche
Another silly car with a confusing identity.
