Purists were up in arms when the Porsche Taycan broke cover. After everything they've done with flat-six engines for decades and of course, the aural delight that a Porsche's exhaust note is, a silent, fully-electric powertrain in a car wearing the coat of arms logo didn't sound like a good marriage. But the Taycan proved naysayers wrong, living up to being a Porsche with its performance and dynamics. EVs are perceived as boring, but one with a heavy dose of Porsche-ness injected was perhaps what was needed to stir things up in the quietness of the EV world.
And the Cross Turismo is an interesting take on the regular Taycan, perhaps the next step even. At first glance the bodystyle is puzzling, because Porsche's never done a wagon/estate, has it? I've got to admit though, it's the Cross Turismo's derriere that truly commands attention. Look at it from the front and you can't tell if anything's different but head towards the rear and you'll find yourself looking at a backside you want to check out instantly! There's oodles of appeal to the rear and this isn't a bodystyle you expect in Porsche's line-up, but the Taycan Cross Turismo looks awesome from behind.
