Porsche will further venture into the electric segment with yet another model: the Taycan Cross Turismo.
A Shooting Brake version of the regular Taycan with an increased ground clearance, it will officially debut today at 10 a.m. ET (4:00 p.m. CET), and the unveiling, which will feature CEO Oliver Blume, VP Model Line Stefan Weckbach and Brand Ambassador Aksel Lund Svindal, will be streamed live.

The jacked-up electric car, which boasts height-adjustable suspension, all-wheel drive and an exclusive driving mode that optimizes its dynamics on gravel, will allow it to tackle bumpy roads better than its four-door sibling. It’s not a full-blown off-roader, obviously, but a practical electric executive estate with superior comfort for rear passengers compared to the regular Taycan, and a bigger cargo area behind the seats that’s accessible via the large tailgate.
All versions with have a dual-motor setup with a two-speed transmission. The entry-level Cross Turismo 4 puts out 375 HP and 469 HP with Overboost and launch control engaged. The 4S offers up to 562 HP on Oversboost, or 482 HP without it. The most agile models will be the Turbo and Turbo S, with 670 and 750 HP respectively when using the Overboost function.
The Taycan Cross Turismo will start arriving at dealers later this year, and it will likely cost a bit more than the equivalent sedan.
