The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo (Y1A) 4 93.4 kWh represents Porsche’s entry into the burgeoning all-electric, performance station wagon segment. Introduced in March 2021 and produced through February 2024, this model expands upon the original Taycan sedan, offering increased practicality and a more rugged aesthetic. Positioned as a premium vehicle, the Cross Turismo competes with other high-end electric vehicles like the Audi e-tron GT and Tesla Model S, appealing to buyers seeking a blend of performance, luxury, and environmental consciousness. The “Cross Turismo” designation signifies Porsche’s attempt to broaden the Taycan’s appeal beyond the traditional sports car enthusiast, offering a vehicle suitable for active lifestyles and longer journeys.
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo: An Overview
The Taycan Cross Turismo builds upon the foundational Taycan platform, utilizing a dedicated electric vehicle architecture. Unlike many electric vehicles that are conversions of existing internal combustion engine (ICE) platforms, the Taycan was designed from the ground up as an EV. This allows for optimized weight distribution, a low center of gravity, and efficient packaging of the battery and drivetrain components. The Cross Turismo variant specifically adds increased ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and unique styling cues to differentiate it from the standard Taycan sedan. It’s a five-door, five-seat vehicle designed to offer a compelling alternative to traditional luxury wagons.
Engine & Performance
The Taycan Cross Turismo 4 93.4 kWh is powered by two synchronous electric motors – one driving the front axle and one driving the rear axle – creating an all-wheel-drive system. This dual-motor setup delivers a combined system output of 476 horsepower (Hp) and 500 Newton-meters (368.78 lb.-ft.) of torque. The powertrain utilizes an 800-volt architecture, enabling exceptionally fast charging times. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 5.1 seconds, while 0 to 60 mph is achieved in 4.8 seconds. The vehicle boasts a maximum speed of 220 km/h (136.7 mph). The weight-to-power ratio is 4.7 kg/Hp, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 4.5 kg/Nm, contributing to its responsive driving dynamics. The two-speed automatic transmission on each axle optimizes both acceleration and efficiency.
Design & Features
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo features a distinctive station wagon (estate) body style, offering a more practical cargo area than the standard Taycan sedan. Key design elements include a sloping roofline, prominent wheel arches, and a redesigned rear end optimized for cargo space. The vehicle’s exterior incorporates aerodynamic features, contributing to a drag coefficient of 0.26. Inside, the Cross Turismo offers a luxurious and technologically advanced cabin. Standard features include a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and premium materials throughout. The air suspension provides a comfortable ride and allows for adjustable ride height. Safety features are comprehensive, including ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and 4-wheel steering (4WS, active rear steering) for enhanced stability and maneuverability. The interior prioritizes a driver-focused experience, with intuitive controls and a minimalist design aesthetic.
