NEW Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S: Road, Rally & Range Test | 4K

OMG this really feels funny, it doesn't feel natural at first to throw a 761 horsepower force around the

rally

stage, this is the Porsche Tycam Cross Turismo Turbo S and I've been waiting for this car for a long time, this is a 761 horsepower electric super wagon that for me requires a lot of boxes in principle, this car combines power, looks,

range

, practicality, everything you could want from an electric car, so here's the deal, just finished at 9 a.m. m. I just picked up the car from Porsche in Reading. I've been told I have to return it in its entirety by 4 p.m., so that gives me seven hours to really know if the Tai Can Cross Turismo is the best off-

road

electric car.

Two quick moments of cleaning when I picked up the car I reset the trip computer because I want to know exactly how far I have gone so I can calculate the

range

of this car watch until the end of the video to find out how far it has gone and secondly, no I don't know if you noticed, but this is, of course, the estate version of the Tycan saloon and when you have a family car there are two things you want to know about it: firstly, can you put a dog in the boot? and number two, is it good? for ikea so I'm going to ikea to look for a dog this is a dog and it's from ikea his name is rossig and he's a golden retriever or something like that and his job is to demonstrate the size of the boot in the

cross

tourism is 400 447 Liters, so there is plenty of space for people who like to bring their pets in small, enclosed spaces.

It's actually 40 liters bigger than the saloon version, not as big as a Tesla Model S, but definitely bigger than a Tesla Model S. a ford mustang mach e plus if you want even more space, There is an 80 liter front boot, so overall a very practical car. As for space in the back, you can choose between two or three seats, all of which fold down as you would expect. Large, flat furniture shouldn't be a problem. The Cross Turismo also has a higher roofline than the saloon, giving 47 millimeters or two inches more headroom, so it's actually quite spacious and practical.

We have to talk about the looks of this car because it obviously looks. Very similar to the standard saloon from the front but the roof line and the way it extends and then falls gracefully towards the rear, I just think it's perfect, I think it's better than the saloon and that says a lot, let's talk. about the scope now i will give you a quick update. I've been riding for 35 miles and have 187 miles left in the tank. Not bad. There are two options when it comes to batteries in the Thai can: a small battery and a large battery, high-performance battery and high-performance battery, furthermore, in

cross

touring, the standard battery is the larger battery, it is one unit of 93.4 kilowatt hours which, according to Porsche, will get you between 240 and 260 miles, obviously, that's more than what was indicated when I started my trip. today, but I'm looking at the consumption figures and I'm getting about 40 kilowatt hours per 100 miles and a little mental math tells me that that's about 2.5 miles per kilowatt hour, in other words that's good for about 230ish. miles, which is not bad, the only thing you have to worry about is the fact that this car has 761 horsepower, so you have to be very light on the accelerator and exercise a tremendous amount of restraint to maximize your range, Unfortunately I don't.

No, I don't have much restraint, yes, I mean, I have 761 horsepower and 1050 Newton meters of torque. It would be a little embarrassing if I didn't do at least one launch right, so I have my racing box, I have a direct brake in sport plus mode, here we go, the wheels spin a little, but we go, oh my god, this is sketchy , what are the scores in the gates, oh my goodness, not reaching 62 in 4.19 seconds? 4.19 on gravel on asphalt, it won't hit 62 in 2.9 seconds, which is just mental, it's barely believable how violent the acceleration is, my god this thing really feels hilarious, it doesn't feel natural at first to throw a force of 761 horsepower around the In the

rally

stage, the suspension on the cross tourer is 20 millimeters higher than that of the standard saloon and then, if you get the optional off-

road

package that raises it 10 millimeters more to get plenty of ground clearance ground during this jump, there is no discomfort. there are no scratches, you get a lot of confidence using this car because you know it is genuinely built for the rough stuff, the car has a few different drive modes including a gravel mode, I wet the gravel mold and that raises the suspension and loosens the traction controls oh my god yes obviously the power is ridiculous but once you get past that party trick there's a lot of finesse to the handling it feels predominantly rear wheel drive I'll leave it here and see what happens you can feel exactly when the rear end is approaching, you can feel exactly when you need to turn in the opposite direction to catch it and it feels just as good as the sedan, if not better, look it's intuitive, it really is, isn't it.

It feels artificial, it doesn't feel like a point-to-point weapon, it feels at home in the corners and as always the steering on this Porsche is absolutely tremendous, I really don't want to be in sport mode loose here. surface because the throttle is super aggressive after that initial introduction so when cruising you get that 700 horsepower rolling out nicely that's what it feels like and it's easy to spin this car but if you put it back into normal mode it's a little bit more progressive with the application of the throttle and then becomes much more manageable. I have the carbon brakes here, so when you stack them into a corner you feel how impressive they are.

The stopping power is absolutely immense, but oh my goodness, the star of the show is. look that's the handling oh my god people say electric cars can't be sexy I think you're so wrong mate I really do because this thing has personality in abundance what a weapon obviously all that performance , good looks and practicality no It's not cheap, this is the best crosstouring

turbo

s and it costs £139,000 but the price doesn't stop there, if you want to add some options then things can get quite outrageous. I have the spec sheet in front of Trust me, the off-road styling package that adds these really cool fins around the car to deflect metal debris and debris, it weighs 400 pounds, but it's actually money well spent because I don't know who had it.

This car before me was not my Porsche. I promise they actually put a huge hole in that back fin and if it wasn't right then you'd be looking at repairing the metal work, so 1400 pounds. it's money well spent if you want roof rails £413 electric folding mirrors painted in body color £380 if you want carbon finished mirror top trim that's a big one if you want Porsche written on the side £168 pdcc 2300 Panoramic Pounds Thousand Dollar Roof The glass of this car is the upgraded glass that keeps the sound out and the heat in. What you want is that to use the heating list well, that costs a large front display.

Great night vision. Great plug-in 360 camera. adaptive cruise control two grand if you go crazy or the configurator then the price can skyrocket from $140 grand to around £200,000 if you're wondering what it's like to drive the cross tourer when you're not driving like an idiot So it may not be a surprise to know that it is almost exactly the same as the saloon. I've driven the saloon countless times and was always impressed by how comfortable and quiet the interior was, that big panoramic glass sunroof lets in plenty of light. the acoustic glass helps make everything feel super super quiet, I mean I roll down the window for a second and it actually feels almost too intrusive to roll down the window because it's so serene cabin wise, well if you've seen any of my Tycan reviews. so you already know everything about the screens inside this car.

It has a large 17-inch curved screen right in front of you for your instruments. It has a second screen up here for your navigation. A third screen down here on the center console for all the heating and ventilation. and climate controls and then a fourth screen for your passenger so they can see navigation or driving data or whatever else they want. It is the city screen. Here on the steering wheel you have a driving mode selector switch that allows you to toggle between sport plus. normal sports car, which is what I leave it in most of the time or the range is now very good because it basically limits the speed of the car to maximize its efficiency.

The suspension is quite soft and uses Porsche active suspension management which gives you the option of different suspension settings, so here on the screen you can press the suspension button and toggle between normal sport and sport plus sport plus is a bit much hard for my taste. I leave it on normal almost all the time and it feels magnificently well judged. I'm rereading now, I'm almost out of time, let me give you a quick scope update. I have 65 miles of range left on the battery and it says I've driven about 87 miles on this trip, which works out to be about 150 miles total, so 150 miles, even when you do a mix of aggressive driving and normal driving, You know, driving calmly is pretty decent if I needed to recharge this car and I don't think I really would, so.

I have two options, basically I can plug it into the wall box in your house and it will charge at 11 kilowatts as standard or if I wanted to fast charge this car it charges it up to 270 kilowatts which is fast enough for you to go from zero to 80 percent in 22 and a half minutes. Ultimately, the Tai Can Cross Turismo is an attractive proposition. Porsche sold around 20,000 examples of the sedan in its first full year on sale, even more than the 911 and with this new addition to the family. Arguably even better, that number looks set to continue rising, so we return to Porsche's reading.

The final reading on the display is 148.3 miles driven with five miles of range to spare, which means more than 150 miles of highway driving with launch control. and rally driving, plus if I wasn't driving like a complete idiot, I'm convinced this car could easily go 230,240 miles on a single charge, so what we learned today I think we've learned that the car is beautiful at the same time. view. I mean, come on, the car is practical. I've proven that using my labrador slash retriever, whatever it is, and the car is obscene, it's fun to drive overall for me, anyway, this is, I mean, it's a sensational package, is it the best ever? round electric car right now I'm going to have to say yes, your movie with you
