The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo (Y1A) 4S 93.4 kWh represents Porsche’s foray into the burgeoning electric station wagon market, building upon the success of the original Taycan sedan. Introduced in March 2021 and produced through February 2024, the Cross Turismo variant expands the Taycan’s appeal by offering increased practicality and a more rugged aesthetic. Positioned as a premium, all-electric vehicle, the Taycan Cross Turismo 4S competes with models like the Audi e-tron Sportback, Tesla Model S, and other high-end electric vehicles focused on performance and luxury. It distinguishes itself through Porsche’s renowned engineering, advanced technology, and a commitment to a dynamic driving experience, even within the electric vehicle segment.
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S: An Overview
The Taycan Cross Turismo is not simply a Taycan sedan with a larger cargo area. It features unique design elements, including increased ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and a more versatile interior. The “Cross Turismo” designation signifies Porsche’s intention to offer a vehicle capable of handling varied terrain and lifestyles, appealing to customers seeking both performance and practicality. The 4S model, equipped with a 93.4 kWh battery pack, delivers a balance of range, performance, and efficiency, making it a popular choice within the Taycan lineup. This model was primarily sold in Europe and other international markets, establishing Porsche as a key player in the premium EV station wagon segment.
Engine & Performance
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S is powered by two permanently excited synchronous electric motors – one driving the front axle and one driving the rear axle. This dual-motor configuration provides all-wheel drive capability and a combined system output of 571 horsepower (Hp) and 650 Newton-meters (479.42 lb.-ft.) of torque. The powertrain utilizes an 800-volt architecture, enabling exceptionally fast charging times. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is achieved in just 3.9 seconds, while 0-62 mph takes 4.1 seconds, and 0-100 km/h is accomplished in 4.1 seconds. The vehicle boasts a maximum speed of 149.13 mph (240 km/h). The weight-to-power ratio stands at 3.9 kg/Hp, and the weight-to-torque ratio is 3.5 kg/Nm, contributing to the car’s responsive and engaging driving dynamics. The two-speed transmission on each axle optimizes both acceleration and efficiency.
Design & Features
The Taycan Cross Turismo features a distinctive station wagon (estate) body style, offering a more spacious and practical cargo area compared to the standard Taycan sedan. The vehicle seats five passengers and offers 446 liters (15.75 cu. ft.) of trunk space with the rear seats up, expanding to 1212 liters (42.8 cu. ft.) when folded down. The increased ride height and standard all-wheel drive contribute to improved off-road capability, although the Taycan Cross Turismo remains primarily a road-focused vehicle. Key features include Porsche’s advanced driver-assistance systems, such as ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and 4-wheel steering (4WS, active rear steering), enhancing both safety and handling. The interior is characterized by Porsche’s commitment to luxury and technology, featuring high-quality materials, a large touchscreen infotainment system, and a fully digital instrument cluster. The drag coefficient of 0.26 contributes to the vehicle’s efficiency and range.
