Porsche has added a new flavor to the Taycan mix, its first all-electric vehicle. And it's essentially a wagon with a European name: the Cross Turisimo. Just as the brand built around famed high-performance sports cars defied the marketplace and purists with the Cayenne and Macan, the thoroughbreds of SUVs, now it's putting Porsche alongside the words "electric" and "wagon."
The Cross Turismo is essentially the same vehicle as the Taycan but with some unique body panels, a longer roof and more interior and cargo space. The Cross Turismo packs electric powertrains that range from the entry-level 469-hp S and 562-hp 4S up to the 616-hp Turbo and 750-hp Turbo S variants.
