SHARE THIS ARTICLE Porsche has presented the Taycan Cross Turismo to the public today with a virtual world premiere. The sports car manufacturer is expanding the product portfolio of its first all-electric sports car range with the addition of this versatile off-road version, thereby continuing the systematic pursuit of its path towards sustain-able mobility. Like the Taycan sports saloon, the Taycan Cross Turismo benefits from an innovative electric drive with 800-volt architecture. The new high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension also ensures uncompromising dynamics off-road. Thirty six millimetres more headroom for rear-seat passengers and more than1,200 litres of load capacity, loaded through the large tailgate at the rear, make the Cross Turismo a true all-rounder.

Today, Porsche introduced the all-new Taycan Cross Turismo, and in doing so has added a second version of its only all-electric offering. Similar to Panamera E-Hybrid Sport Turismo, the Taycan Cross Turismo is a wagon (or Estate) version of the Taycan that offers more versatility, especially for families and those with active lifestyles.
As with the Taycan sedan, the Taycan Cross Turismo will be offered in four variants with Porsche s familiar nomenclature: Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo and Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. All Cross Turismo will come standard with dual-motor all-wheel drive, a two speed rear transmission, Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management in conjunction with air suspension, the 94.3 kWh Performance Battery
Porsche has added another EV to its line-up with this new Taycan Cross Turismo, an all-electric higher-riding estate version of its Taycan EV saloon that offers even more practicality.
Prices start from £79,340 for the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, with 4S, Turbo and Turbo S variants also on offer from launch, while all Taycan Cross Turismos are fitted with the sports car maker’s 93.4kWh Performance Battery Plus.
The car is based on the same J1 platform as the saloon, but bolstering its off-road credentials and all-round versatility, the Cross Turismo is only available with four-wheel drive.
To compliment that, all Taycan Cross Turismos feature Porsche Active Suspension Management with three-chamber adaptive air suspension. With an optional Off-Road Package, the car’s ride height can be raised by a further 10mm for a total of 30mm of extra ground clearance compared with the Taycan saloon.

The Taycan, Porsche s first EV, has been a hit so far. Riding on that popularity, Porsche introduced its much-anticipated wagon variant on Thursday.
Meet the 2021 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, a car that Porsche calls a crossover in its press release but is most certainly a wagon. The Cross Turismo version of the Taycan is intended for slightly more utility; it has more cargo room than the sedan and additional ground clearance.
Four versions will be available at launch: the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo, and Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. There will not be a rear-wheel drive version like with the regular Taycan. All Taycan Cross Turismo models will come with a dual-motor setup and all-wheel drive.
