The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo dresses electric sportscar intent in a practical, slightly rugged estate body, delivering rare performance thrills with genuine everyday usefulness. It feels unmistakably Porsche inside — taut, premium and driver-focused — while the raised ride and extra luggage space make it as happy on a muddy weekend escape as it is on a twisty back road.
