The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is not just an electric wagon but also an affirmation that high-performance electric driving and practicality can coexist without sacrifice. In this detailed review, where electric performance meets versatility, we uncover how Porsche has taken its high-voltage sports sedan and made it into a capable family expedition car.
By taking the excitement of the Taycan and adding the combination of raised ride height, more cargo space, and rugged design inserts, the Cross Turismo is a response to the continued growth in demand for performance EVs that provide more than speed. Whether that is commuting to work, embarking on a family road trip, or carving the canyons that surround us, this Taycan variant is looking to be your go-anywhere electric vehicle.
Introduced as the sportier, outdoor-ready version of the Taycan sedan, the Cross Turismo also features the same technical Porsche EV performance but a station-wagon-shaped rear with an improved cargo area and standard all-wheel drive.
The variations allow for multiple performance levels, from the base Taycan 4 to the fast Turbo S Cross Turismo, while allowing for more practicality in each version.
While it may be a bit bulkier and heavier, the Taycan Cross Turismo drives like any bona fide Porsche. This electric performance and practicality distinguish it in the EV arena.
In short, the Taycan Cross Turismo's real-world driving impressions, especially on U.S. roads in either city or highway speed ranges, are impressive.
Range anxiety is a frequent concern with EV buyers, but Porsche has improved considerably with the Taycan Cross Turismo.
| Trim Level | EPA Range (mi) | 0–60 mph Time |
| Taycan 4 | ~235 | 4.8 sec |
| 4S | ~253 | 3.9 sec |
| Turbo | ~238 | 3.1 sec |
| Turbo S | ~222 | 2.7 sec |
While the EPA numbers may not seem class-leading, real-world tests often show slightly better results, especially in moderate climates. With regenerative braking and intelligent range management, longer drives become stress-free.
The Cross Turismo's fast-charging performance is among the best in the EV industry.
Home charging with a 240V Level 2 charger takes about 9.5 hours for a full charge, ideal for overnight replenishment.
Porsche also offers a Charging Planner app, allowing you to route your journey around real-time charging availability and wait times.
Inside the Cross Turismo, you’re treated to Porsche luxury with a futuristic twist.
