The biggest news for the returning 2022 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is, Porsche has added a new GTS Sport Turismo grade.
Porsche also included Android Auto in the infotainment mix and added an available smartphone-controlled self-parking system.
A fully electric vehicle (EV), the 4-passenger Taycan is the all-wheel-drive (AWD) wagon version of the Taycan sedan.
Any way you slice it, the Taycan Cross Turismo is one pricey hunk of electrified iron (or aluminum, if you just consider the exterior shell).
Pricing ranges from $93,700 to $187,600.
At a bit of a disadvantage in the range department, depending on the grade, this wagon is rated at a maximum range of 202 miles to 230 miles.
For example, these numbers are well below the Tesla SUVs in the 300 range.
But, hey, it’s a Porsche, right? That includes a performance legacy that we can’t deny.
We like Taycan Cross Turismo for its athletic performance, wagon body, standard AWD, and upscale interior.
Porsche offers Taycan Cross Turismo in five grades: 4, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S, and the new GTS Sport Turismo.
All five trim levels use the same dual-motor electric powertrain, but performance increases as you move up through the trims. Launch control is standard.
Unique to Taycan, the electric powertrain provides a 2-speed transmission on the rear axle.
Porsche provides three driving modes: Sport, Gravel, and Range. (The GTS Sport Turismo only offers Range mode.)
The government uses a special formula for calculating mileage estimates for electric power. It’s called miles per hour electric (MPGe). According to the EPA, the Taycan Cross Turismo can achieve up to 76 MPGe.
