The spirit of adventure in every detail

24/11/2021

An all-electric sports car with innovative 800-volt technology for fast charging, a convincing range and impressive space: the Taycan Cross Turismo is Porsche’s first Cross Utility Vehicle (CUV) and it’s fully electric, versatile, robust – and ready for adventure.

The flat front, muscularly curved wings and a roofline that slopes down towards the rear – even at first glance, the design of the new Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo bears the DNA of the iconic 911. In addition, the flat headlights with vertical air intakes clearly mark it as a member of the Taycan family. And yet the second electric sports car from Zuffenhausen is a Porsche unlike any other.

As the company’s first Cross Utility Vehicle (CUV), the five-door combines classic Porsche driving dynamics with an off-road-capable high-tech chassis. “The Cross Turismo is the perfect complement to our existing Taycan family,” explains Stefan Weckbach, former head of the model range. “It is more versatile, more robust, and yet nearly as sporty as the saloon.”

A spirit of adventure is to be found in every detail of the Cross Turismo. Creating space for diving, golfing, surfing, or cycling equipment was high on the list of requirements. The load volume is therefore as generous as you’d expect: behind the large tailgate, the Cross Turismo holds almost 1,200 litres of luggage when the rear seatbacks are folded down. The vehicle also offers all-wheel drive, air suspension and Performance Battery Plus as standard. 

Two-wheel enthusiasts will find a special solution in the Cross Turismo: roughly where the exhaust pipes are located on vehicles with combustion engines, two rails for a bicycle rack can be mounted on the CUV, providing space for three e-bikes.

The Taycan Cross Turismo is no stranger to trips off the beaten track. For leaving everyday paths behind, the CUV’s adaptive air suspension is height-adjustable, and there is even a gravel mode for particularly poor surfaces. With the optional Offroad Design Package, the Cross Turismo gains 30 millimetres of ground clearance. As speed increases on level ground, the vehicle automatically lowers in favour of aerodynamic efficiency.
