The high-tech chassis with all-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension is standard across the Cross Turismo model range, providing 20mm higher ground clearance, as compared to its Taycan saloon counterpart.

With the optional Offroad Design package, ground clearance is increased by up to 30mm. 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.

The Taycan Cross Turismo will be available for viewing at Porsche Centres nationwide in the coming weeks.
