On April 27, Porsche announced the official opening of pre-sales of the Taycan Cross Turismo, which is available in four versions with prices ranging from 968,000 to 1,838,000 yuan.
In fact, this new car can be seen as the "crock pot version" of the Taycan, and the biggest change in its appearance is that the rear of the car is taller overall, providing more space for the rear seat and trunk storage. In addition, in terms of posture, the main change of the new car is in the ground clearance, which will be 20mm higher than the regular version of the Taycan chassis without the off-road kit, and will be 30mm higher after equipping the kit.
In addition to these "crock pot" features, this new version of the Taycan inherits many of the family's classic designs, such as the iconic front face and headlights, as well as the very stylish through-taillights. Therefore, if you want to identify two versions of Taycan on the street in the future, you can also start with "buttocks".
The interior also continues the design layout of the regular Taycan, including four highly technological displays in the front row, a three-frame steering wheel and an optional compass indicator.
The specific parameters of the four models of the "crock tank" version of the Taycan are shown in the following figure, of which the strongest is the "Turbo S" version, which only takes 2.9s in zero hundred acceleration time. The strongest endurance is the "Turbo" version, which can reach a maximum cruising range of 523km under CLTC conditions.
In addition, Porsche said that with the brand's self-developed electronic control technology and the latest high-performance battery, it can make the Taycan Cross Turismo have a very solid endurance.
In terms of configuration, here are two interesting, one of which is a panoramic skylight with light control, which can change a variety of forms according to actual needs, can be "half covered and half hidden", and can also become a "frosted" effect, taking into account the sun protection and heat insulation and lighting.
The other is the "gravel" mode, as a "crock pot", the new car still needs to have a certain off-road ability. This gravel mode adjusts suspension, traction, torque, and shift logic of the rear axle transmission, allowing the vehicle to be off-road as well.
At the end of the press conference, Porsche also released an Easter egg, announcing that the new Taycan GTS will be priced at 1.392 million yuan and open pre-sales at the same time. It is reported that the model will be built according to the standards of the Porsche GTS series, and the performance will be more "fierce".
■ Bang reviews
The successive listing of the two models has made the Taycan series form a product matrix of 9 models, and the first time we have dabbled in the hunting coupe, we are also looking forward to the actual performance of this new car, especially the endurance.
On the other hand, the Price point of the Taycan Cross Turismo is in the upper middle of the Taycan series and is expected to really become the best-selling version of the Taycan series.
