Porsche’s high-riding, wagon-bodied brother to the Taycan will welcome a new entry-level model early in 2022.
When it arrives in the third quarter of 2021, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo will be offered in 4S and Turbo guises – but a more affordable all-wheel drive model, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo – will follow close behind it.
As was previously the case, the wagon also misses out on the smaller battery standard in the 4S sedan. Instead, all models will use the larger, 93.4kWh Performance Battery Plus.
For those wanting to do a little more off the beaten track, there’s a Gravel Mode that raises the air suspension by 30mm and an available off-road package that raises the ride height by a further 30mm.
As is the case with the coupe-styled Taycan, the Cross Turismo range has been given a price bump for 2022. It’s also been given extra standard equipment across the range, however.
