The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S represents Porsche’s foray into the burgeoning all-electric, performance station wagon segment. Introduced in March 2021 and produced through February 2024, the Cross Turismo builds upon the foundation of the original Taycan sedan, adding increased ground clearance, enhanced practicality with a larger cargo area, and a focus on all-weather capability. Positioned as a premium offering, the Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S competes with vehicles like the Audi e-tron GT and Tesla Model S Plaid, appealing to buyers seeking a blend of exhilarating performance, luxurious appointments, and environmentally conscious transportation. This model specifically features a 93.4 kWh battery pack delivering up to 761 horsepower.
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S: A Detailed Overview
The Taycan Cross Turismo is not simply a Taycan sedan with a raised ride height. Porsche engineers extensively reworked the vehicle to provide a unique driving experience. The Cross Turismo’s design emphasizes a more rugged aesthetic, while its enhanced suspension and standard all-wheel drive system contribute to improved off-pavement performance, though it remains primarily a road-focused vehicle. The model’s appeal lies in its ability to deliver the signature Porsche driving experience – precise handling, rapid acceleration, and a refined interior – in an electric package.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S lies a dual-motor, all-electric powertrain. Utilizing a permanent magnet synchronous motor on both the front and rear axles, the system generates a combined output of 761 horsepower and 1050 Nm (774.44 lb.-ft.) of torque. This substantial power allows for breathtaking acceleration figures: 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, 0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, and 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155.34 mph (250 km/h). The 93.4 kWh gross (83.7 kWh net/usable) lithium-ion battery pack, operating at 800V architecture, enables a WLTP-rated range of 388-419 km (241.09 – 260.35 miles). Energy consumption averages 24.4-26.4 kWh per 100 km (39.27 – 42.49 kWh per 100 miles), translating to approximately 86-79 MPGe and 4.1-3.8 km/kWh (2.5-2.4 mi/kWh). The 800V system allows for exceptionally fast DC fast charging, capable of adding significant range in a short period.
Design & Features
The Taycan Cross Turismo distinguishes itself from the standard Taycan sedan with its wagon (estate) body style, offering increased cargo capacity and a more practical rear seating area. The vehicle seats five passengers across two rows. Key design elements include a sloping roofline, prominent wheel arches, and a distinctive light bar connecting the LED headlights. The interior is characterized by Porsche’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship, featuring premium materials, a minimalist dashboard layout, and advanced technology integration. Standard features include a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems. The air suspension provides a comfortable ride and allows for adjustable ride height, enhancing both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Trunk space ranges from 405 liters (14.3 cu. ft.) with the rear seats up to 1171 liters (41.35 cu. ft.) with the seats folded down. The vehicle’s drag coefficient of 0.27 contributes to its aerodynamic efficiency.
