The Taycan range in Malaysia have now been expanded with the arrival of Porsche’s fully-electric Cross Utility Vehicle (CUV), the Taycan Cross Turismo. The Taycan Cross Turismo is meant to continue Porsche’s pursuit in sustainability which will feature the innovative 800-volt technology for fast charging, convincing range and impressive spaciousness, complementing the existing Taycan family perfectly with its versatility.
For the Taycan Cross Turismo, it will come with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension to handle different road condition. Interior of the Taycan Cross Turismo gets 47mm more headroom for the rear passengers and more than 1,200L cargo space with the rear seats folded down.
In Malaysia, we will be getting 3 different variants of the Taycan Cross Turismo. The 1st variant is the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo that is available with a 280kW electric motor that can overboost for launch control up to 350kW. This translated to an acceleration figure of 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, and tops out at 220km/h. With a range of 437 km, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo price starts from RM 645,209.

All the variant of the Taycan Cross Turismo will be available with a battery size of 93.4 kWh, high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive system, and adaptive air suspension. This help increase the ground clearance of the Taycan Cross Turismo to up to 20 mm compare to the Taycan sedan.
With the optional Offroad Design package, ground clearance can further increased by up to 30 mm. This means that the Cross Turismo can be driven on challenging off-road terrain, especially with the new “Gravel” mode exclusive to the Cross Turismo. This new feature manages torque distribution through traction-optimised shifting and other chassis settings, increasing the suitability of the Cross Turismo for poor-quality roads.
Off road design elements include wheel arch trims, unique front and rear lower aprons and side sills. As part of the optional Offroad Design package, the Cross Turismo has special flaps at the corners of the front and rear bumpers and at the ends of the sills. These make for a striking exterior as well as providing protection from stone impacts.
