Porsche Debuts Taycan Cross Turismo Wagon To Add More Practicality to The EV

Porsche has introduced the wagon model of its first electric sedan, Taycan, featuring body cladding and an SUV-like look. Named Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, the electric wagon will hit the U.S. roads in summer.

Like the Taycan sedan, the Cross Turismo is available in four variants: 4, 4S, Turbo, and Turbo S, with the base model costing $1,530 extra than its sedan counterpart.

The new Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo boasts a standard all-wheel-drive, Performance Battery Plus, and two permanent-magnet synchronous motors creating 469 horsepower for the entry-level 4, 562-hp for the 4S, 670-hp for the Turbo, and 750-hp for the Turbo S. The automaker says the most powerful Turbo S can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds.

Porsche did not reveal the range estimates yet. However, we can tell that the 2021 Taycan 4S sedan offers EPA-estimated 227 miles while the Turbo and Turbo S deliver 201 and 192 miles, respectively. And because the Cross Turismo has a higher ride height and 100 pounds extra weight, its range will be slightly lower.

Thanks to the standard adaptive dampers and air suspension, the ride height is 0.8-inch higher than its sibling. For an even higher ride, drivers can select Gravel mode or opt for the off-road design package for a permanent extra ride height of Gravel mode. The pack also includes different front and rear designs, more body cladding, and side skirts.

Other standard features comprise a panoramic glass sunroof, 16.8-inch digital gauge cluster, a 10.9-inch display with an 8.4-inch underneath it for climate and different settings. A passenger display is optional.

The 2021 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo will come with three years of free charging from Electrify America. The entry-level model will go for $92,250, 4S for $111,650, Turbo for $154,850, and Turbo S for $188,950.
