Porsche’s EV line-up expands with a crossover wagon version of the mighty Taycan. Has it lost anything in the transition?

The Porsche Taycan has already set the benchmark for EVs in regular (for want of a better word) sedan form. Even if it so happens to be an expensive benchmark, at that. For its next gambit, the German sports car company is expanding its EV range with a high-riding, off-road-biased estate version dubbed the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. Presumably, a ‘plain’ wagon version of the Taycan wouldn’t have tempted SUV-hungry buyers into showrooms, so the Cross Turismo rides at least 20mm higher than a Taycan and is clothed in lots of black plastic cladding. Furthermore, all Cross Turismo models are four-wheel drive and come with the larger 93.4kWh battery pack. The question is, can a taller, bigger, heavier model with a softer suspension tune preserve the Taycan’s undoubted sports car abilities?
