STUTTGART: We're still waiting for Porsche's first electric car to be released on the market. But the German manufacturers have already announced the production of their second electric model.

Around a year before the launch of the eagerly anticipated Taycan, Porsche has now given the green light to begin the production of the Mission E Cross Turismo this coming spring.

While the Taycan is a sleek four-door sports car, the Cross Turismo is a family car aimed for leisure pursuits, combining a steeper tailgate and increased ground clearance with a more rustic design.

However, looking beyond the aesthetic differences in the two cars, and the technology under both bonnets remains the same.

Both models having two engines with a combined power of 441kW/600hp, reaching speeds of around 250kph and a driving range of over 500km.

The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo is scheduled for release in 2020.
