On a cool winter day on otherwise quiet country roads east of Weissach, Stefan Weckbach, head of the Taycan series, puts a very special new vehicle through its paces. The only slightly camouflaged Taycan Cross Turismo stands out against the icy fields and snow-covered forests: with a long roofline and distinctive off-road elements, as is only known from the Mission E Cross Turismo concept car from 2018. Weckbach, who has wrapped up warm against the sub-zero temperatures this February, gets into the completely black prototype and turns onto an empty street.
Porsche Taycan Cross Touring
"With the Taycan Cross Turismo, we wanted to offer a more spacious feeling as well as more flexibility and versatility“, He explains behind the wheel. "We have developed a completely new roof line with roof rails, the rear row of seats offers passengers more space and the trunk is also larger. The goal was a car that would be a perfect fit for an active lifestyle. A car that is ideal for both urban and rural journeys.“The Cross Turismo glides through long curves, while Weckbach speaks openly about a previously closely guarded secret. "So that the car can also handle light off-road driving and gravel roads well, we have increased the ground clearance", traitor.
Cross Turismo with CUV-specific driving mode
"And we've improved our suspension system so that the Cross Turismo has a CUV (Cross Utility Vehicle) -specific driving mode. It ensures optimal stability, performance and dynamic performance of the vehicle on gravel roads.“The Taycan's recent development is definitely impressive: one year after the start of production, more than 20.000 vehicles were delivered worldwide. With the Cross Turismo, the first fully electric sports sedan from Porsche is even more attractive. The model is intended to appeal to customers who want to break new ground with their environmentally conscious way of life.
