Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo
UNIQUE TIMES
|April - May 2024
On the face of it, I shouldn’t like this car. Porsche makes some of the best engines in the world and this one hasn’t even got one.
But the lack of an internal combustion engine and the glorious engine note that comes with it shouldn’t stand in the way of appreciating what is a very well-engineered performance EV. I was blown away the first time I drove one three years back and the Taycan has ever since, been the benchmark I compare all luxury EVs to.
Enter the Cross Turismo 4S – an even more specialized variant of the regular Taycan. It is an off-road spec estate car like the Mercedes E class All-terrain and Volvo V90 Cross Country. The Taycan Cross Turismo is three cars in one. It has the performance of a sportscar, the practicality of a wagon and the bad road capabilities of a small crossover. If you don’t want the last bit, Porsche also sells it in another flavor, called the Sport Turismo which is a regular estate that comes without the raised suspension, wheel arches and offroad bits like Gravel mode.
