Exploring the 2024 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo: Electric Performance
Electric Power to Spare
At the heart of any Porsche is its powertrain, and the Taycan Cross Turismo boasts a powerful electric motor system that helps it live up to its sports car pedigree. Its twin 320 kW motors churn out an impressive 469 horsepower and 449 foot-pounds of torque when Porsche’s Launch Control system is used. It has an innovative two-speed rear axle transmission, and all Taycan Cross Turismos are equipped with an AWD drivetrain.
Exemplary Performance
The base model Taycan Cross Turismo doesn’t skimp on performance. Despite its lengthened roofline, it has the agile handling of a sports sedan. With summer tires, it can reach top track speeds of 147 miles per hour, with a 0-60 MPH time of 4.5 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.9 seconds. With quick acceleration and excellent braking, the Taycan Cross Turismo can match sports car credentials with many gas engine models.
Efficient and Easy to Charge
The Taycan Cross Turismo isn’t just about power and performance. Its efficient electrical system makes it practical, too. With a net battery capacity of 97 kWh, it has an estimated range of 277 miles per full charge. That makes it well-equipped for both city and highway driving. Thanks to its battery featuring optimized cell chemistry, a full charge with AC power takes 12 hours, but a DC charge with maximum charging power of 320 kW takes 18 minutes.
Exciting Aesthetics
The Porsche brand has long embodied the peak of style and swagger in sports car design, and the Taycan Cross Turismo lives up to that legacy. The muscular lines and aggressive styling distinguish it from other electric sports sedans, with a long roofline and distinctive Porsche styling. While technically categorized as a wagon, this is not your average grocery hauler, though it does have impressive interior passenger and cargo space for a sports sedan.
Effortless Driver Assistance Features
The Taycan Cross Turismo has many optional driver assistance features that improve the practical driving experience. The Lane Change Assist feature is standard, but drivers can add other available innovative systems such as a Head-Up Display, Night Vision Assist, Surround View with Active Parking Support, Remote Park Assist, and Porsche InnoDrive with Adaptive Cruise Control and Active Lane Keeping.
