“#Porsche\u2019s Taycan Cross Turismo EV isn\u2019t as confusing as it looks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n German automaker Porsche is putting its Taycan Cross Turismo through its paces in final testing<\/a> before it goes on sale next year. It sounds like everything is going well, but one thing is bothering me, well, it\u2019s not one thing, it\u2019s the entire thing.<\/p>\n

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo seems more confused than a chameleon at a carnival.<\/p>\n

First off, is its name. The Taycan part makes sense. It\u2019s what Porsche called its high-performance EV, so that needs no explaining. This car is also an EV. I think you\u2019re following.<\/p>\n

The Cross Turismo bit, that\u2019s more of a head-scratcher. It seems Porsche is designing this version of the Taycan for light off-roading and for those that want to travel<\/a> further afield \u2014 that explains the Cross and Turismo part.<\/p>\n

Ok, so that\u2019s not totally insane. Especially considering the current Taycan is very much a performance oriented vehicle.<\/p>\n

But then we get to how it looks. Seriously, just look at the thing.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is\u2026 I don\u2019t know what it is.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Is it a fast-back, a station wagon, a shooting brake? I can\u2019t quite put my finger on it, so let\u2019s just say that it\u2019s all three. According to Porsche though, it\u2019s a CUV (cross utility vehicle). The company says it\u2019s raised its suspension and even fitted it with a special driving mode for gravel, and so that qualifies it to be classed as some kind of crossover.<\/p>\n

Whatever class of vehicle it\u2019s in, it\u2019s still kinda ugly. Despite Porsche being responsible for some of the world\u2019s most iconic designs, the Taycan Cross Turismo doesn\u2019t app<\/a>ear to be one of them\u2026 yet.
