From not having an electric car to having one as recent as 2019 and then now, having one that is built for the rough terrains. Meet the new 2022 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Electric Vehicle. It is the Taycan, now made for the roads – or lack thereof – less traveled.
Sharing same electric drive with 800-volt architecture as the sedan variant introduced back in 2019, the new Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo features a new high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension designed specifically to handle off-roading.
In addition, it gets a full 36 mm more headroom for rear-seat passengers and over 1,200 liters of load capacity, accessible via its large tailgate. All told there are four derivatives of Taycan Cross Turismo.
