The new Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo features all the strengths of the Taycan such as superior performance and long range. In addition, there is more headroom for rear-seat passengers and a maximum luggage compartment capacity of over 1,200 litres loaded via the large tailgate. The chassis, with standard all-wheel drive and air suspension, is height-adjustable. The Taycan Cross Turismo will be launched on the market in the summer of 2021. It is anticipated that the five largest markets for this version of the Taycan will be the US, the UK, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany.
Purist exterior design with Porsche DNA
The visual appearance of the Taycan Cross Turismo is closely based on the Mission E Cross Turismo concept study presented at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2018. In particular, its silhouette is defined by the sporty roof line sloping towards the rear - called the flyline by Porsche designers. The off-road design elements include wheelarch trims, unique lower aprons at the front and rear as well as the side sills. In combination with the Off-Road Design package, the Cross Turismo has special flaps at the corners of the front and rear bumpers and at the ends of the sills. These make for a striking exterior and provide protection from stone impacts. Like the Taycan sports saloon, the new Cross Turismo also features innovative elements such as the glass-effect Porsche lettering in the light bar.
Innovative drive motors and two-speed transmission
All Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo models have two electric motors, one fitted on the front axle and a second on the rear axle, and therefore have all-wheel drive as standard. Both the range and the continuous power of the drive benefit from the high efficiency of the permanently excited synchronous motors. The electric motor, transmission and pulse controlled inverter are each combined into a compact drive module. The potential recuperation power has been increased even more. At up to 290 kW, it is significantly higher than the recuperation power of competitors.
Driving performance: always convincing
The electric powertrain offers dynamic acceleration. However, Porsche is also committed to ensuring that this can happen multiple times in succession. The Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is therefore able to reproduce its impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.1 seconds more than 10 times in succession without any problems. This acceleration performance is also impressive at high speeds. The new Taycan Cross Turismo proves its performance capability multiple times in succession without any drop in power, for example when accelerating out of bends onto a long straight.
Quick, comfortable, intelligent and universal
In addition to fascinating vehicles, a customer-friendly charging infrastructure and intelligent charging solutions are the keys to the success of electric mobility. Taycan Cross Turismo drivers can charge their vehicles at home with up to 11 kW of alternating current (AC) as standard. An on-board charger delivering 22 kW is available as an option. With this unit, the battery charges in around half the time it takes the standard 11 kW AC charger. This option has been available in Europe and North America since the end of 2020. When on the road, Taycan Cross Turismo drivers benefit from a sophisticated temperature management strategy for the battery. This allows the batteries to be charged with higher currents (direct current, DC), speeding up the process significantly: in around five minutes, the battery can be recharged for a range of up to 100 km (according to WLTP). The charging time for 5 to 80 per cent SoC (state of charge) takes 22 minutes and 30 seconds in ideal conditions at an 800-volt charging station, with a maximum charging capacity (peak) of up to 270 kW. For charging at 400-volt charging stations, an on-board DC charger with 50 kW or 150 kW is installed as standard (depending on the country).
