This is THE electric estate I would buy, no doubt. Porsche was very smart making this an estate/wagon. It also looks absolutely fabulous.
I WOULD buy one if I could afford one, and I am not poor (I own 4 cars, including a very nice, late model BMW and a mint antique roadster, etc.). This electric car, and most other electrics as well, is outside my price range.
@@yankee2yankee216 They are sub 70k euro now. So much depreciation in the last months. You even get a Turbo for under 100k.
Just wait a year or two. They'll be worth 15% of its original price. Because electric cars are the dumbest idea that humankund ever came with. @@yankee2yankee216
On the eighth day of Christmas, my Tedward gave to me
8 Cross Turismo’s
7 eG80’s
6 SL roadsters
5 GX’s
4 Newcomb’s Ranches
3 R8’s
A peek in Garage 42
And a Wilhoit Speedster in a pear tree
The Station Wagon is dead. Long Live the Station Wagon.
CAN it technically be considered a shooting brake (or not quite)?
@SayAhh real shooting brake has two entry doors.
I WANT a station wagon, on3 that handles well and goes fast, and which has a manual transmission. An impossible dream? I have been driving one, a 1999 Toyota 4Runner, with 5-speed, for 15 years. Getting another will be problematic…
Toyota Crown Signia is kind of one…?
@@Milkinporsche Thank you!!
I couldn't agree with you more regarding the EV industry's overuse of touch screen interfaces! It can be very distracting and dangerous. Old school physical knobs and buttons are much quicker and safer. Overall though, this Taycan is a sweet ride as far as EV's go!
Some people are all like "just use the voice commands" as if that's any safer
@@blue-tb2fd Voice commands are even more distracting!
@@mikeydude750 Exactly. Google Assistant is better than any automaker OEM voice commands I've ever used and it still isn't that accurate sometimes even when you make sure to clearly enunciate. Which is kind of distracting when you're trying to drive. Doable, but not ideal.
ackchyually, "cross turismo" is porsche speak for the allroad, allterrain etc variants of wagons, a pure non-plasticified non-semi-lifted wagon is a "sport turismo"
Problem is that wiht the demise of the Panamera Cross turismo wagon, the Taycan Cross turismo might be on life support as well.
Though the Taycan is such a great EV all in all. Lowish range for its price, but it drives so well you wouldn't care, ditto it charges really fast.
I don't think so. They've got two wagon models, the sport and the cross!
The Cayenne and Macan print money. I think they make cars like this because they like it.
Seeing these on the road always makes me so happy!
I bought a pre-loved Taycan 4 Cross Turismo this month from a Porsche Center with 3 years guarantee and a many options. Fantastic daily drive that always has me smiling.
The back of these look perfect 🔥🔥
Love wagons, it's why I own one. This, in the Sport Turismo trim, of course, was my dream electric car for a long time until I found out about its many flaws. The wannabe crossover cladding ruins the shape for me. Now I'd pick a Lucid Air, preferably in wagon shape.
For EV range, I completely ignore the EPA numbers and exclusively use the Edmund's real world leaderboard. The Taycan 4S currently ranks #19 on that list at 323 real world miles. For comparison, the best ranked Tesla is the Model S Plaid at 345 real world miles. They're basically the same.... (because Porsche under-promises and because Tesla is, well, Tesla).
they look so good in person, especially in oslo blue!
And here we have, once again, good old Tedward, driving of my very own "if had the $$$" cars!! ( a tad envious here!!!)😅
I too agree that all of the screens are insane, and I think in addition to manufacturers trying to make cars more “futuristic”, I think it’s about cost savings. Manufacturers can just jam everything into the UI of a screen via software, instead of dealing with the cost to producing bespoke physical buttons and other physical parts. Now their only cost is the tablet and the development of the software. As someone who lives in a city and hasn’t owned a car in many years, it makes me sad that the industry has been trending this way, and likely the next car I own will be all screens by time I get around to buying one.
I could love a car like this Taycan or that G90 from the other day. Both are built great and so comfortable!
Tedward, I dislike all the video screens ass well. I worry about taking my eyes off of the road. the "click" of an intuitively placed button is best.
The world's first electric station wagon. Let's hope there's a rumble seat in back to hall a load of 7 people.
Tedward. An alternative to the Taycan would be the Audi E-tron GT (gotta be the GT else it is an SUV). If you don't love the haptic touch and that many screens, you do get some physical buttons with essentially the same chassis and the same two-speed transmission and drivetrain. If you could get ahold of one and try it out...I think you'd like it more than this.
There are lots of these around Ireland, probably more than any other new Porsche model. And I agree, it looks the business.
Absolutely in love with this and the Panamera Sport Turismos (RIP), thanks for this!
Wow! Beautiful Station Wagon. I like.
My local dealer has 16 new Taycans in stock and 1 911 (a turbo S). Dealer inventories are littered with these things. But we keep getting told how great they are. No range, very limited space (even in the wagon), and priced like a 992 Carrera S. No thanks.
They‘re overpriced, especially when packed with options.
Some are over here are like 90k€ base with fucking 50k€ of options.
Except that globally Porsche will sell between 35 and 40 000 vehicles in 2023, which is more or less what they sell of the 911s. The Taycan sold 123 000 since its launch. 😋
@@huskytail I'm sure Porsche knows what it's doing. But in Colorado, where you have to drive a significant number of miles to get anywhere, it just doesn't make sense. Add in cold weather and the elevation of the mountains, the range is probably less than 280.
@@morganvon5664 When I worked for a Porsche dealer, I got to take one home for a weekend last December. While I think they are fantastic cars, the range limitations really turn me off from them. I had a 90 mile range, turned the heat on since it was winter, and dropped IMMEDIATELY to 70 miles of range. Once Porsche sorts out the short range issues, and infrastructure around the US allows for it, I would absolutely consider picking one up!
the rav4 will also go farther, easier to recharge, MUCH cheaper to service, has a tactile interior (you need screens to control everything on this), and is cheap enough to where you can get one, AND a 718 Cayman for the price of one of these
but hey, its not a Taycan! @@hassyg4083
Love your channel for you show things, and this has a juicy content.
not another talking head channel which could be audio only ;)
Hi!
HI!
I think they understand. The Macan EV is closer to the new Cayenne in bringing back physical controls
I don't like wagon type cars, but I think porsche has done an excellent job focussing it's functionality towards a station wagon and keeping the looks as sportive as possible.
My dream car atm
Wonderful
Test drove one of these extensively. As a commuter and highway car, it's excellent. However, as soon as you show it a twisty road, the weight ensures it feels nothing like a Porsche should. It was particularly bad on a downhill twisty section...all at sea unfortunately. Also, it's the first car from Porsche I have driven where the brakes didn't feel up to the task. Carbon ceramics would be necessary for a car this heavy.
Somewhere Jeremy Clarkson would call this Taycan the "POWAHHHH Wagon."
If that’s the base model imagine the turbo cross tourismo 😮
Panel gap between front door and fender is much better than Tesla.
regen is off by default in the normal drive mode. you were coasting at the beginning that was not regen.
they should add the option for no screen options at all it makes cars timeless
I love my Taycan CT. super versatile
What's up with the random speed bumps in the middle of nowhere?
You think they'd redesign these new e cars to be more spacious on the back passenger row, it'd be nice to be able to lay out on a long trip.
Love your coverage....this would be my 2nd choice..the 1st....a Tycan Turbo😢😢😢😢
Hey off topic but WHAT is that red car in your heading photo?
The Bizzarrini he drove a while back, if I recall
This is definitely one of the coolest cars that Porsche is making today.
My CT TS rocks. Best car I’ve ever bought
So many stop signs in the US!!
Just fyi, only one of the charge ports on the car can fast charge. So they don't help as much at a charging station (both sides can slow- AC charge tho)
Also comparing a Model 3 to this... Lol. It costs like $100k more. Model S would be a fair comparison I'd say.
that was a model S.
Hi Tedward
Probably my favorite EV currently on sale. Also btw are those noises from the electric motors genuine? Everything in EVs nowadays i know is generally piped in bs but something about the ones here sound kinda real
Mostly fake
@@TedwardDrives :(( oh well. A man can dream i guess 😂
You can honestly just say bye to regular buttons. The use of screens probably enables for much more streamlined scaling of production for Porsche. Screens are more cost efficient than making, producing and inputting physical buttons which all most likely have different departments and development teams. Their bottom line is probably dramatically decreased by using all touchscreens. If they put buttons in their vehicles (right now at least), it may cost 5-10k more for each vehicle in their line up. Once they find out to reduce other costs( basically the batteries) then they might/could consider physical buttons. That’s the reality of the industry and tbh I think in 10-15 when I’m gonna be ready to purchase a Porsche/german EV performance sedan/wagon, I think it’ll be perfected or at least bearable.
Im a Lexus guy, I don’t like it either. But I’ve had LOTS of time in a Rivian R1T (2000+ miles now) and I can say, it gets better once you’re used it to and its not as bad if the software is good enough. That’s where the future of the industry is headed anyway: who has the best software (and the biggest budget for it)
You can feel for and operate a physical switch or knob without taking your eyes off the road, whereas a touch-screen REQUIRES that you take your eyes off the road! It’s as bad as texting on a cell phone!
Worse than texting because it's incentivized heavily, locking normal controls away with no regulation.
@@ElliWoelfin It’s about as bad because it demands that you navigate multi-step menus and procedures, just to do simple things, taking your eyes away from the road for much too long. In most cases, a knob or two could do everything WITHOUT taking your eyes from the road! We can think of them as the latest innovations, for convenience and safety, the switch, the knob and the (physical) button.
Teslas expensive? Oh right youre not in Norway. And dude, you had an E92 M3 so your taste is great, and you think this car is Porsches best looking today!? Check out a 911 or Panamera
Those wheels really looks like the wheels from Lamborghini 😂😂
Like lobster went from poor and middle class food found on beaches to luxury food for the rich, the station wagon has gone from the poor and middle class to a luxury car
I like this. "Station wagons are Lobsters"
Gosh. "the station wagon Is not dead" via PORSCHE. What a horrible state of affairs our society has gotten to. Love your vids Tedward.
Seems more hatchback than touring
The screens over the physical buttons are not about "being futuristic" it is cheaper for the manufacturers - they make more money that way so forget about bringing the buttons back.
probably first ? lol. this si gonna be good :))
second lol
So close
Black or matte/satin mustard yellow body color is better than that. 🤔
But they did kill off the Panamera Sport Turismo though. And given the dwindling sales numbers of EV, I have a feeling this model won't be around for much longer either. And then a few years down the line these will become a cult favourite.
It's not really a wagon though, is it? There's no D pillar. More of a hatchback
If they make the cayenne an ev I might be sold on it
Wrong title: the AFFORDABLE wagon is dead.
when they are priced to the stratosphere, they might as well be dead. yes, a fantastic vehicle, but when 10 are sold/leased, the public obviously isn't drawn to it and me thinks the price has something to do with that.....
The Station Wagon is dead, long live the Shooting Brake!
If I ever get a porsche I would not want an electric one, hearing the engine is a part of the charm
also 17:35 we not gonna talk about the jaywalking? Bro walked on the hypotenuse.
Best looking Porsche!!!? I don’t think so.
992 is a huuuuge blob now.
That made me raise an eyebrow too. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc.
the 992 is kinda ugly from certain angles, the bumpers are very busy and some styling elements ,like the throwback rear grille and the sports exhaust leave a lot to be desired. the 991.2 was much better looking
and yeah the 992 is too big as well
@@ShaiyanHossain - The 718 currently is the best looking Porsche. Not the GT4, though.
So Tedward, I am debating between a Porsche 911 Carrera (2024) vs an Aston Martin Vantage (2020). The price difference is about 25 grand (Porsche being more expensive). I know it's between these two beauties, as I want something to work everyday tasks, while also being weekend ready to throw it around the country roads. I'd love to hear your feedback!
Porsche all day!
Although I am heavily anti EV as they currently stand, these have always spoken to me.
I'm not sure why more don't discuss the fact that EVERY EV currently on market has the consumer being a beta tester. Nothing is sustainable about these engineering philosophies, negating this alleged "green future" EV's are supposed to be about. Time will either prove me right or wrong. Either way, I'll enjoy depreciation & my mechanical knowledge allowing my ownership of cars I could never afford new for as long as I can. Perhaps I'll strike it rich & get a 15 yr old Taycan plus a $30k battery & learn how to read the software to UNbrick it.
Mmm
imagine if Porsche built this as an ICE.. or a version of the Audi Allroad.. Ill keep dreaming until we get RS4 wagon in USA.
so the panamera wagon lol
They did, the Panamera Sport Turismo
Panamera is a large luxury car, the Taycan is much smaller like the A4 Allroad.
@@steveadp Interesting, from what I'm finding the Taycan is about 2 inches shorter than a Panamera and 8 inches or so longer than an A4 Allroad. The A6 Allroad is a better size comparison.
@@blue-tb2fd yes it is.. my bad. Wish Porsche had made a a6 or a4 sized wagon in ICE.
Shows Tesla is doing something right if people compare a car that cost just about half as much but with better stats.
Hilarious! The title of the thumbnail is cut off at the end.
It reads, _"Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo - The Station Wagon Is NOT DEA..."_
Too funny. I wonder who they are trying to convince?
Besides, I thought the DEA and D.A.R.E. warned us about those shady ice cream trucks rather than a Porsche Taycan. Although, I bet the Agency has certainly confiscated and subsequently auctioned-off some Taycan's in the past.
Those govt auctions will surprise you! I speak from experience ladies and gentlemen.
Stay classy my friends.
I won't make the leap to electric until they figure out how to increase the range. I want 375 miles minimum. More is better.
Very interesting vehicle. I’ll give it 2 years max before this model is canceled
> 2 years max
You realize it was introduced in 2019, and has 3 model years already?
Why would they discontinue this?
I'd edit your comment 😁
Nah, I'm sure porsche will release a next gen Taycan
those rims are ugly... put black ones on it now!!!
Might be a good car but ugly beyond words
The front end of a saturn,the middle is a bad chevy and the rear is a mercury. Easily the most disjointed and unattractive vehicle porsche has ever produced
"Charging is a nightmare of an experience"
"Charging is a sad reality of EV ownership"
...says the non-EV owner??? I don't think you have enough experience to make a good informed decision. Change is hard and most people don't like change. But industries shift and you gotta just get used to it.
I’ve spent thousands of miles in Evs. That’s why I don’t own one.
Yes let’s all get used to batteries that deteriorate extremely fast. Charging times that take forever. Limited range that can’t take you anywhere far without stressing. Charging is a nightmare. Half the stations barely work. Batteries suck and that’s just it. Until manufacturers figure out a way to make fuel cells non expensive and work well EV’s will never get a chance to fully prosper.
