It s basically the same as the Taycan sedan launched last year, but with a long roof and upright hatchback that s oh so close to Family Truckster territory and provides improved headroom and cargo space.
You can even get it in a Mamba Green color that s not too far off the movie car s if you squint, but don t go looking for wood paneling on the options list. (Porsche)
The Taycan Cross Turismo will be available in a range of four models when it hits showrooms this summer: The Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo, and Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo all equipped with standard all-wheel-drive, computer-controlled air suspension systems and horsepower ratings 375 hp, 482 hp, 616 hp and 616 hp respectively.

Porsche is expanding the product portfolio of its first all-electric sports car range with the addition of the Taycan Cross Turismo which made its world debut in a virtual launch on Thursday night.
The latest installment from the sports car manufacturer now comes with a versatile off-road version, thereby continuing the systematic pursuit of its path towards sustainable mobility.
Similar to the sports sedan sibling, the Taycan Cross Turismo benefits from an innovative electric drive with 800-volt architecture (Taycan Cross Turismo Models: CO2 emissions combined 0g/km, electricity consumption combined 29.4 – 28.1kwh/100 km).
The new high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension also ensures uncompromising dynamics off-road.
Pricing And Competition
The 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo carries a steep MSRP of $153,500, and that s before delving into the extensive options list. It s $2,400 more expensive than the Taycan Turbo. For the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo, expect to pay $187,600. A destination fee of $1,350 applies but both are expected to qualify for a federal tax credit.
There are no direct competitors to the Taycan Cross Turismo, so it s unique as the only EV wagon on the market. However, one can t ignore the Tesla Model S Plaid+, which is more powerful, quicker, has a much longer range, and starts at $139,990. Another contender is the upcoming Lucid Air Dream Edition with 1,080 hp, a 503-mile range, and a starting price of $161,500. The Audi RS6 Avant is a fantastic wagon but is conventionally-powered and starts at a much lower $109,000.
