In my opinion, this is one of the most attractive waggons available. The Taycan is one of the few electric vehicles that makes me optimistic about the future of the industry. This is a fantastic vehicle. I'm also blown away by Porsche's ability to produce such incredible models in such a short period of time. This vehicle is just stunning.
Exactly. I would never thought that I would like this maroon color but it looks awesome. Car manufacturers are working wonders with color options these days. It would be a shame to buy this car in black, white or silver.

I’m impressed how the German car brands are catching up with electric mobility. Mercedes Porsche Audi... are doing great jobs, slowly there’s a new segment building and I really like it!!!
@Frank Castle don’t Know if long way is the right term. German car brands basically have just started with their first generation models in the Electric mobility Segment and they are catching up very fast.
It's almost like porsche intended to make an estate, somehow converted it to a saloon, and made it an estate again. It's definitely one of the best looking cars out there
Amazing Machinery by Porsche. The only thing - I would keep that beautiful curved main speedometer screen and infotainment LCD, but climate control and other features should be done with regular aluminum buttons and knobs.
I'm not a huge Porsche fan but this makes a _very_ convincing argument for itself -- so much so that I think even Jeremy Clarkson will be curious. I don't think it will sell in huge numbers, but I think it will help establish some more long-term credibility for Porsche and be known as one of those "best kept secrets" in motoring. Re: the so-called "off-road pack", I don't think anyone will honestly think of it as an off-roader, but they will see all those bits of skirting as an excuse not to wrap it in cotton wool. This could become the new every day sports/supercar. And I love that it has two gears. And props for Porsche for going with a spaceship noise instead of a pointless petrol engine noise. Lean into the techy-nerdiness.
Always fun to go VW logo hunting on Porsches. I've got a 30 year old Porsche (yes, it has VW parts on it) and the only bit that is badly designed is the centre console cover, which breaks off if you use it. It's an in house part. The VW parts are lasting well.
I prefer the look of the CrossTurismo over the standard Taycan, not only that, it improves the rear passenger space and space with the seats folded down when you have to do the tip run!!! I suspect that this will sell in larger numbers than the standard Taycan.
You could mention that there's a bloody big battery under the back floor and that's why it's raised - bugger the foot area. Back seats are mostly for kids anyway. The lip of the boot opening is necessarily high for cabin protection and the rigidity of the shell. This car is magical in every way.
I ordered one 2 weeks ago! I got the chalk color with some cool wheels etc. I test drove the Tycan and was blown away. I felt like I was in a spaceship! I'm so excited for the Cross Tourismo. It seems like a combination of the Cayenne and 911. I have an M3 1998 convertible that I love driving. When I drove the Tycan I felt that connection and response to the road but a smoooth ride. Great video and vey funny!
Congratulations! I just saw this car on the street. It is gorgeous!!! Finally a very nice looking electric car. Just hope this car challenges other to make good looking cars and someting else than a sedan or SUV. Enjoy your ride
I think the 4S is the sweet spot in the range. The Cross Turismo comes standard with the 93kWh battery and as such is much the same price as the standard 4S with the option of the 93kWh battery. The 4S is more than fast enough and has more range than the Turbo or Turbo S.
Can go in both directions ... back in the days of the 924/944 they would even sell the exact same spare part for triple the price only because of the Porsche logo instead of VAG.
I hate estate/wagon cars. But this is beautiful. Also the screen is done exactly how it needs to be done. Not just a screen hanging off the console or dash. This is beautiful.
Awesome review Mat! Also wanted to say props to the guy(s?) taking care of the video production, the b-roll, the colours and the image in general look amazing, one of the many reasons that make me wanna come back for more reviews! Great job, keep it up!
Perfect Uber, larger boot and can get the riders to their destination in record time. Can you imagine their faces when you pull up. Think I’ll get a lottery ticket this week 😊
I had a taycan for a weekend. It was unreal. It changed what I thought possible in a car in terms of performance😳 Nitpicking: Navigation does not include charge stops, change of modes and restart resets your preferences, the configuration of the lever for the cruise control is super weird.
Mat, the slight increase in ride height actually allows more weight transfer to the rear offering more traction from a "dig" hence the tenth quicker 0-60. right then, this means the KEY is once the car hits 60 (or some other speed) the vehicle needs to AUTO LOWER ITSELF while on the move (maybe it'll drop if you press the button) as you accelerate through the 1/4 mile, and that way you'll be FASTEST overall at both the front end and back end of the run. this is Drag Racing Science Top Fuel/NHRA style, that is (even though the run is over in less than 4 secs) the car is being "adjusted" by timers on the clutch to optimize/maximize traction the whole way down the track.
In high suspension mode it did the quarter mile 10.88 which is .02 (2/100ths of a second slower than 10.86 and not .2 (2/10ths) like you said! In other words there is no real difference in the times, well unless you consider 2/100ths of a second worth worrying about! amazing car either way!
Almost 2 montths owning the 4S version have brought some "annoying?" features to light? Parked up in the garage, you have to lock the car to stop the lighting, radio, etc. More important is that half the time the car won't accept the charging cable on first try, and that applies to 7kwh and above chargers. The button often glows red (fail) on first connection and you have to disconnect and retry, going from "white" to "green" on the 2nd attempt. I'm sure this is a software problem that Porsche could solve.
Update: It seems to have "settled down" after a few software updates, one of which allowed the re-activation of the inactivation of the "Privacy Mode". Inactivation is where my i-phone can 'talk' to the car & vice-versa. It now also seems to accept charging cables on first try.
Hi Mat here. This car has an interesting colour. But what do you think is the WORST colour to have a car in.
Banana Yellow Metallic
Pink
maybe gold like Yanni's car
None of the cars were ugly in this colour, it's beautiful!
Hey mat. I guess brown looks pretty boring

Yea me too
Ngl it feels good to be so early
Same here , I taught it looks way better in green and white but god it looks spectacular in this color
It is quite lovely
*colour* actually...
I can't believe estate cars went from being my least favourite body type to one of the coolest body types ever
There is nothing like wrong body type for me. Only good and bad design.
It's prob the age? The older you get the more you like estate cars? 😅 i for one have like them all my adult life..
Jajajaja so true though! Comes with age my friend!
Compared to the butt ugly Crossovers/SUVs, anything looks good in comparison. Although I still think the car is gorgeous regardless.
Ever heard of the RS6?
