Porsche's pace of electrification is quite steady, and the launch of new models has not slowed down when the Taycan series gradually gained its first recognition. The launch of the pre-sale of the two taycan series new cars, the Taycan Cross Turismo and the Taycan GTS, not only enriched the product lineup, but also provided a practical and interesting experience for the potential consumers of the Taycan.
The Taycan Cross Turismo is more focused on practical features, with a luggage compartment volume of 1212 litres as a direct benefit for car owners. Equipment such as the spacious interior and the panoramic sunroof with light control make this model look different from its siblings. The Taycan Cross Turismo launched 4 models with pre-sale prices ranging from 968,000 yuan to 1,838,000 yuan. The pre-sale price of another Taycan GTS is 1.392 million yuan.
The Taycan Cross Turismo is available in 4 powered versions, coming standard with an upgraded version of the 93.4 kWh high-performance battery with outputs ranging from 380 hp to 625 hp and a maximum acceleration time of 2.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. All four models come standard with an all-wheel drive system and adaptive air suspension, and in standard mode, ground clearance is up to 30 mm higher than that of the Taycan. The Taycan Cross Turismo comes standard with "gravel mode" for some non-paved pavement conditions.
With a special body type, the Taycan Cross Turismo's driving space has been improved, and the rear passenger head space of the new car has increased by 47 mm compared to the regular Taycan. In order to facilitate the collection and placement of items, the vehicle has designed a large tailgate and provided convenience facilities such as partition nets, luggage hooks and luggage retention belts in the luggage compartment.
The Taycan Cross Turismo Series has a range of up to 523 km (CLTC). The product shape fully meets the aerodynamic principles, similar to the design principles of the Mission E Cross Turismo concept car, the detail decoration has a certain off-road vehicle element, in which the front and rear bumper corners and the end of the sill are equipped with special skid plates to prevent some bumps.
If the Off-Road Design component is selected, Porsche provides a compass at the top of the dashboard, a rotating compass dial that simulates the direction of the vehicle and provides altitude and time information on a digital display.
Porsche's panoramic sunroof with light control is applied on top of the Taycan Cross Tursimo and Taycan GTS, which are divided into nine individually controllable zones that can be switched with the click of a finger: transparent, frosted, translucent and bold. The sunroof also enables a dynamic "roller shutter" function: when the occupant swipes his finger over the sunroof icon in the display, the corresponding sections are activated sequentially.
The rapid growth of the Taycan series has laid a good foundation for Porsche to expand in the field of electrification, and consumers will have a deeper understanding of the brand connotation while becoming familiar with and accepting Porsche electric sports cars.
