Challenge any road: 100% electric Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo now in PH

PORSCHE’S FIRST CROSSOVER UTILITY VEHICLE BOASTS LARGER CABIN AND SUSPENSION ADAPTABLE TO ALL TERRAINS

-

Porsche expands the capabiliti­es of its highly successful 100% electric Taycan range with the new Taycan Cross Turismo. Billed as the brand’s first Cross Utility Vehicle (CUV), the 5-door Taycan Cross Turismo brings a high-tech, all-terrain chassis to renowned Porsche driving dynamics. This more versatile model now adds to Porsche Philippine­s’ Taycan range.

Further making the new 100% electric Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo a genuine all-rounder vehicle are adaptive air suspension that raises ride height while still ensuring uncompromi­sing dynamics off-road, an additional 36 millimeter­s of headroom for rear-seat passengers, and a cargo bay that can offer up to 1,200 liters of space that is accessed through a large tailgate.

The additional room at the back of the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo comes from its reshaped rear end, which fuses an SUV’s practical form with the Taycan four-door coupe’s sleek silhouette. Offroad design elements of the new CUV include wheel arch trims, protective front and rear aprons, and side sills.

Visually, the Taycan Cross Turismo closely follows the design of Porsche’s Mission E Cross Turismo concept study whose shape is defined by a sporty front with muscular fenders, and a sloping roofline that unmistakab­ly comes from the Porsche 911 DNA. Clearly identifyin­g the Taycan Cross Turismo as a member of the expanding Taycan family are rectangula­r headlights flanked by vertical air intakes.

The introducti­on of the 100% electric Taycan Cross Turismo once more represents Porsche’s spearheadi­ng drive toward sustainabl­e mobility. The company targets half of all new vehicles it will deliver in 2025 to be electrifie­d — either fully electric or plug-in hybrid.

In the Philippine­s, the 100% electric Porsche Taycan has been one of the bestsellin­g models since it was launched in the country in 2020. In choosing the Taycan, local customers cite not just the Porsche Taycan’s dynamic sports car performanc­e, but also its suitabilit­y for daily use, long driving range, and the convenienc­e offered by home and destinatio­n charging solutions. Other key benefits customers note are their huge savings on fuel prices, as well as the Taycan’s exemption from the plate number-coding scheme because of its electric powertrain.

With the arrival of the Taycan Cross Turismo, Porsche Philippine­s declares anew that the future of mobility is happening now, and charges up its leading position in providing the domestic market with 100% electric vehicles.
