Porsche delivers world’s first electric station wagon
The entry-level Taycan 4 Cross Turismo can handle off-road terrain and is a better buy than its far more expensive top-of-the-range sibling.
Hannah ElliottLet’s hit this off the bat: The 2021 Porsche Taycan Cross Tourismo is a station wagon.
Porsche isn’t calling it that, and fans of the versatile form are eagerly awaiting future electric vehicles that will officially be labelled “station wagons”. But what Porsche did to differentiate the Cross Turismo from the regular $US79,900 ($103,000) Taycan sedan, which we’ve already seen and approved, is add a shooting brake-style rear end and a flatter roofline, with some additional ground clearance, off-road settings, and cargo capacity.
