Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo NEW review

NEW Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S combines the high-voltage performance of the company's electrifying Taycan Saloon car with an added chunk of stylish estate car practicality.
On first acquaintance it Seems it's the same car as before yet with a longer roof, a raised ride height and a shot of Off-Road capability.
Yet with this new variant has the German maker strayed away from that fabled Porsche driving dynamic and made their first electric SUV, or are we in for another high voltage drive of our lives?
Well why not join me Roger Bailey to find out.

this is another excellent video Roger, beautiful filming as always, the Taycan Cross Turismo seems to be the EV to aspire to, hopefully one day....

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Many thanks!

[@martinboulden3540]

If you have the ability to charge it at home its difficult to argue with the future ! Porsche have nailed it.

[@gregmcdermant4596]

With my Taycan Cross Turismo 4S arriving in 8 weeks time it was great to hear your commentary and enjoy the beautiful video. Don't know how you managed to resist doing a Sports+ Launch Control run !!! Cheers from Australia.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

You have a great car incoming there Greg, let us know how that launch control feels ! - Roger

[@Spook-ru6eu]

its another great video again roger, cross turismo looks amazing

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Many thanks

[@andreassauerbrei]

Great short review and beautiful video as always, Roger. I am lucky to own a Taycan Cross Turismo for two weeks during which I drove it more than 1700 miles. Driving it never fails to put a huge smile on my face. Charging has been a non-issue, even during my first long road trip from Los Angeles, where I picked it up, back home to Seattle. It’s a Porsche first and an EV second, which I consider a good thing. The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is a fantastic car.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks Andreas for looking in again, I'm glad to hear of your enjoyment from that Taycan, brilliant car..

[@PS-tu2ds]

And.......subscribed. Great video! I picked up my Turbo Cross Turismo this month. Simply amazing.

nice of you to say, thank you Jon

Lovely! Wonderful video! I’m incredibly envious!

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

glad to hear you liked it - thanks !

[@ttvgeorgeg17]

One of the best videos on the new Porsche I’ve seen. I’m the dad & I have subscribed too. Thanks very much

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

excellent thank you and welcome to the channel.

[@robbey300]

Great video again Roger, especially the drone shots, with tonnes of info on this new Porsche offering. The rear arches and stance look aggressive but the wheels are a little too small and could they go to 21"..? As others have said the lack of suitable and available charging points within UK infrastructure makes grand touring a challenge. Final question why didn't Porsche release more hybrids first across their range (petrol/electric).??

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Thanks Kevin, good points here - we are told the infrastructure is growing and it needs to, I hear there's a hybrid 911 on the way before the all electric version - Roger

[@jakesoloman1425]

video is a bit short but its enjoyable, this one of the best you tube car channels there is

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Wow, thanks!

[@claussalt4140]

Just ordered my GTS Sport Turismo Roger. Sooo excited.

Evening Roger! I will watch this video a little later, currently on my way to Silverstone to watch my dad race this weekend.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Hello Sylvie "ravi de te voir - thank you for visiting again.

[@nickfield596]

Loved the test drive I had in one, but unfortunately my lack of any home charging facility and the poor availability of public charging points makes it a no go at this time. Also, would have been good if you had shown more of the interior - back seats and rear load space in particular.

[@paulcadman9174]

Hi Roger, enjoyed your video thanks. Have had my Neptune Blue 4S CT for a week and fancy trying it on that Welsh rally circuit - could you let me know where it is and how to access please?

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks Paul, send me a DM and I'll tell you, Instagram @roger_bailey1361 👍🏾

[@paulcadman9174]

@@RogerBaileyOnCars Hi, thanks for your reply. I’m interested in taking my car on a ‘gentle’ off-road circuit so could be good to know how to access the one you used in Wales please? Many thanks Paul 👍

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Porsche need to put the underpinnings of this S4 EV beast into an EV version of the Macan. Now, that would be one hell of an SUV 8-))... Nice car. Great video. Your No1 Stalker 8-))... PS Trust you and your _Boss (The blonde Stalker!)_ are both keeping well? Keep up the work on your videos. TTFN ;-))...

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

EV macan will be interesting that for sure, thanks for visiting TZ, boss lady doing ok thanks :-)

[@718GT4RS]

Think I’ve Bagged a GT4RS Roger 😍🏎🔥

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

excellent mark !!

[@jonfrench7133]

Really lovely looking beastie. I’ve recently opted back into Porsche after a while in the doldrums. An EV is inevitable at some point but in the meantime i’m revelling in a manual cayman S. My ask is just much worse is the agility, is there that horrible feeling of driving a heavy weight missile that can’t easily change direction. Basically how much of a sacrifice in handling so you have to make ?

[@TrackMonkey327]

Great review, Roger! I really like the Taycan Cross Turismo. I like its versatility. I also like the wide tires and wheel gap. Sexy!

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thanks, yes Porsche use decent rubber

[@dexholtkamp5307]

What a beautiful car 🤭 AND electrical?

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Yes 😁

[@jonac5561]

Will await the charging network to be improved and greater range from porsche ,at present clear Achilles heel

[@dexholtkamp5307]

Why wait? What for? 🥺

[@andresmattos7541]

Roger the ultimate Porsche salesman.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

:-) has been said once before

[@sloppy-1-1]

This just continues to proof that EV's don't have to be bad if done right!

[@Stallzyx]

Not sure why this has attracted so many dislikes but the music level at 4:44 and 4:53 gets way too loud compared to the rest of the video, as well as the suspense at 0:14 maybe was dragged out a little too long. I'm not sure such dramatic music can be used for a fully electric vehicle either but those are my feedbacks. A pretty interesting car though and it is in the BOTB car lineup to win however I'm starting to think that game is near impossible to win...

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

thank you for the feed back, appreciated 👍

[@trance9158]

It's those Tesla fanboys hating the competition.

[@GBOAF216]

Whilst I love the look of the current Porsche models, the ridiculous ‘cup holders’ that they now insist on putting in the central armrests of their Taycan, and 992 variants ruin the interior for me…. Just pampering the American market I feel….. what ever happened to the discreet cup holders from the earlier models?, that folded away when not used.

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

me too on that one

[@scottulmerhomerak]

How to pronounce Taycan.

[@chrischambers9406]

Umm….. back seats? Boot? Come on.
