The Cross Turismo is the wagon-like version of Taycan. It provides more cargo room and passenger space with no perceptible trade-off in the driving experience. It manages to deliver incredible comfort and effortless driving one moment and then, with the twist of a knob, world-beating performance the next. And with added ground clearance, the Cross Turismo is made to get a little dirty should you run out of paved roads to explore. However, the Taycan is not cheap, and the Cross Turismo is even less cheap.

Overview
The 2022 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is quite a mouthful, so let's break it down. First, it's a Porsche, which means you're getting performance (for a price, of course). Second, it's a Taycan, Porsche's first all-electric vehicle that debuted two years ago. Lastly, the Cross Turismo denotes that it has a wagon-like hatch instead of the more conventional trunk. Put it all together and you've got a very fast and pricey electric vehicle with more versatility than a sedan.

Am I Ready for an EV?
EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,000 or more If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.
Like the standard Taycan, the Cross Turismo is a joy to drive. It can be incredibly comfortable and effortless to drive one moment and then, with a simple twist of a knob, provide otherworldly performance the next. For 2022, Porsche is enhancing the Taycan's appeal even more. First up is a new GTS trim. Slotting between the 4S and Turbo trims in price, the GTS has special front and rear styling, Turbo-like power and other performance-oriented upgrades as standard equipment. Porsche actually calls this version the GTS Sport Turismo instead of Cross Turismo.
The other big news is that Android Auto (finally) comes to the Taycan this year. It requires plugging in via the USB-C port (in contrast to Apple CarPlay, which supports a wireless connection), but owners of either smartphone type will now enjoy an integrated experience.
Overall, the Taycan Cross Turismo is one of the best luxury EVs for 2022 and has distinct advantages over the rival Audi e-tron GT, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Tesla Model S. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to learn more about its real-world range, performance, utility and more.

Performance
9.0/10
How does the Taycan Cross Turismo drive? The Taycan Cross Turismo weighs a little more than the equivalent Taycan sedan and rides a bit higher. So what's the performance trade-off? Turns out, virtually nothing. We tested a Cross Turismo 4S, and it accelerated just as quickly — 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds — as a Taycan 4S sedan we also tested.
Braking performance is just as impressive. In our testing the Cross Turismo, which had the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, hauled up from 60 mph in just 100 feet, which is one of the shortest distances we've recorded for an EV. The brake pedal also makes it easy to stop smoothly in city traffic.
Around turns, the Cross Turismo handles just as well as the Taycan sedan. There's the effortless balance and feel of a rear-wheel-drive sports car, but with ridiculous amounts of traction and thrust exiting corners of an all-wheel-drive EV. Credit goes to some of Porsche's clever (and optional) systems at work here, such as rear-wheel steering and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control.
The Cross Turismo is also an excellent casual cruiser. The only demerit is the lack of strong regenerative braking. Many EVs provide enough regen when you lift off the accelerator that you often don't need to touch the brake pedal to come to a full stop, but not so in the Taycan.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Taycan Cross Turismo? The front seats are cushy but not enveloping. You'll want to get the sport seats for a suitable enough amount of lateral bolstering to help keep you in place for enthusiastic cornering. Still, we managed seven hours behind the wheel in a day without feeling completely beat-up, so that says a lot. The rear seats aren't nearly as comfortable because of their overly prominent lumbar support, tight toe room and a slightly elevated floor height.
Ride comfort, on the other hand, is incredible. The Cross Turismo rides a bit higher than the sedan and has slightly softer suspension tuning. That combo simply makes road imperfections disappear from underneath you. This is one of the most comfortable rides we've experienced. It's also complemented by a very quiet cabin. And it's not just the absence of engine noise that's impressive but also the car's insulation from outside noise in general.
Our single biggest issue here remains the overcomplicated climate control system, particularly the virtual vent controls. There's a bit of a lag time when you adjust the vent position, and it's quite distracting if you're on the go. Thankfully, the air conditioning system is pretty effective when you set it to its auto mode.

Interior
8.0/10
How’s the interior? The Taycan Cross Turismo touchscreen interface is good but not perfect. The lower touchscreen controls the climate settings and can also be used to navigate the upper touchscreen through its virtual touchpad and shortcut buttons. Like other touchscreens, the Taycan's is prone to smudges, though thankfully they are only noticeable when the system is off. If you're not open to taking some time to learn new things, you'll probably hate this interface.
When it comes to getting in and out, the Cross Turismo is better than the Taycan sedan because of its slightly higher ride height and extended roofline. This is especially true for rear passengers since head clearance is much improved. There's lots of space up front, but the rear seat is small and lacks suitable toe space under the front seats.
The Cross Turismo's larger rear window does help improve rearward visibility. And it's even better out front thanks to the thin windshield pillars and door-mounted mirrors. The worst part of visibility is the reverse camera and its wide, distorted fish-eye lens perspective.

Technology
7.5/10
How’s the tech? The optional Bose surround-sound system delivers punchy sound with impressive clarity, even when it's cranked up to irresponsible volumes. The nav system is easy to learn on the fly and has the ability to display various map views within the gauge cluster. Apple CarPlay (with wireless connectivity) smartphone integration comes standard, though we experienced some connection issues with CarPlay during our testing. 2022 Taycans also get Android Auto.
Many common advanced driving aids, including adaptive cruise control, are optional. While adaptive cruise worked pretty well on our test car, the lane keeping assist system could be overbearing at times. The optional surround-view camera system is excellent and works well in combination with the parking sensors to make parking in tight spots easy.

Storage
8.0/10
How’s the storage? Porsche says the Cross Turismo offers 15.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats, versus 14.3 cubes in the Taycan sedan. But the real-world difference seems much greater than that. The hatchback also provides much easier access to the stuff that's farther inside. There's underfloor storage that helps, and the rear seats split 40/20/40 and fold down flat, lending some needed cargo flexibility. The front trunk offers an additional 2.9 cubic feet of storage and can fit a small roll-on luggage bag.
There's slightly better interior storage than what most luxury sedans provide. The armrest bin is modestly sized, but a cubby beneath the lower touchscreen can store things such as sunglasses or even a small handbag. The door pockets will hold a couple of water bottles, but the glovebox won't hold much beyond the owner's manual.
Got kids? The Taycan's child safety seat anchors are easy to locate, though the tilt of the rear seat bottom is steep, so proper adjustment of your child safety seat's base might be tricky. Installing a rear-facing seat will be a squeeze unless you slide the front seats up.

Range and Efficiency
7.0/10
How economical is the Taycan Cross Turismo? The EPA estimates that a Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, which comes with the larger Performance Battery Plus, has a range of 215 miles on a full charge. The EPA also estimates that it'll use 45 kWh of electricity per 100 miles driven. (Note this rating is for a vehicle on the standard 20-inch wheels and tires with standard brakes. Our tester had larger 21-inch wheels and lightweight carbon-ceramic brakes, which would likely get a slightly different EPA estimate.)
On the whole, the EPA's estimate for the Taycan's consumption is average for a luxury EV. For example, the Tesla Model S Long Range uses an EPA-estimated 28 kWh/100 miles and the Audi e-tron uses 43 kWh/100 miles. Remember that the lower the kWh figure, the more efficient the vehicle is.
In Edmunds' real-world range testing, the Cross Turismo went a total of 250 miles on a single charge while consuming 39.2 kWh/100 miles. This is probably the greatest disparity between the Cross Turismo and the Taycan 4S sedan we tested. That 4S sedan, which was on 20-inch wheels, went a total of 323 miles on a single charge, consuming only 32.3 kWh/100 miles.

Value
7.5/10
Is the Taycan Cross Turismo a good value? The Taycan is at the high end of the EV price spectrum. The Cross Turismo is even a bit more premium as all U.S.-bound models come standard with all-wheel drive, the larger Performance Plus battery, an adjustable air suspension and a panoramic glass roof. That said, the Cross Turismo is comparably priced to the least expensive Tesla Model S you can buy, and it also qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit.
No Taycan owner will have to worry about questionable build quality or glitchy firmware updates. And beyond the software and electronics, Porsche has a way with interiors and the tactile feel of switches and buttons, or at least the few of them that haven't migrated to the touchscreen menus.
Warranty coverage and roadside assistance for Taycan are pretty standard for the luxury class. But an onboard charger and 240-volt charge cord, assuming you have a simple matching socket installed, can save you from purchasing an entire home charging station. You'll also benefit from three years of charging at Electrify America stations, where your first 30 minutes of each visit are free (sufficient for charging to 80% battery capacity in the right conditions).

Wildcard
9.5/10
We thought the Cross Turismo would have some trade-offs in driving dynamics, but those concerns turned out to be unfounded. It's every bit the performer the sedan is, and on top of that you get superior utility and comfort. It also impresses with its composure and the sensation it delivers behind the wheel. The Taycan Cross Turismo supplies nearly everything you'd want from a high-performance car, even if it is a 5,200-pound wagon.
We even prefer the Cross Turismo's styling to the regular Taycan's. The shape is instantly familiar as a Porsche yet special and purposeful-looking at the same time.

Which Taycan does Edmunds recommend?
The midrange Taycan Cross Turismo 4S should have more than enough power to satisfy if you're performance-minded. It comes well equipped off the bat, but we'd also add the Premium and Technology packages to get items such as ventilated seats, adaptive cruise control, and other safety and convenience features.

[MUSIC PLAYING] LAUREN MCCAY: What's up? I'm Lauren McCay. And this is our list of the top 10 best EVs with the longest range. No need for battery stress with these cars. They are the best of the best models we've tested to date.
The EPA comes up with their estimate for miles you'll get per gallon, or MPG. The same is done for electric vehicles, just a smidge different.
And then there's the Edmunds way of getting range numbers. To understand our list, you must first understand our process.
The EPA has standards they hold each manufacturer to. Those manufacturers then run their own tests to get an estimated range, which are based on miles that a vehicle can travel through the city and highway, splitting the time between both before needing to be recharged. To get at that, the EV is fully charged, parked overnight, and then driven the next day on a dynamometer.
To simplify, it's a treadmill for cars like those neat simulation rides. Basically, in the hands of these manufacturers, these cars live a lab rat's life.
Here at Edmunds, we're all about that real-world experience-- go ahead, little car, spread your wings-- testing a car's range the way a real person would by actually driving it on the road. We start with a full battery, and drive the car on the actual road, mixing in both highway and city streets, until the battery reads zero miles of range. The kilowatt hours used from charging are calculated with the miles traveled, and boom, our scientific method for a real-world range number. That was a long-winded way to say, we don't mess around with our rankings. It's rigorous, time-consuming, and it's a science. Also, we can bring you what's most applicable.
OK, that said, let's see who kicks us off at number 10.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
At number 10, it's the 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition, unique in that it's the first from the startup company's fleet, as well as it's the only electric truck made quite like this. In our testing, it beat out the EPA's estimate by three miles, with 317 miles total before needing to charge. It was tested with the standard battery, which is the biggest battery pack in this top 10 list.
Why we're so impressed, because it's a big old truck weighing more than 7,000 pounds, with four electric motors that'll make even diesel trucks cry with their torque. [GASP]
Even with horrendous efficiency, it makes our top 10 by brute force. For their very first EV truck, this automaker has proven they're one to beat in this space hands down.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
In at number nine is the Tesla Model Y Long Range, Elon Musk's way of making a car feel less like a car and more like a spaceship. The Y debuted for 2020 as a pioneer of the all-electric small SUV class. To its credit, Tesla has figured out how to generate plenty of social media buzz over cars that in the grand scheme of things few people buy.
That said, we couldn't turn a blind eye to the Model Y's range, as it has one of the smallest batteries on our list yet still delivers. In our testing, it's tied with the Rivian at 317 miles, which is pretty solid. That's a bit under Tesla's Model 3, which, spoiler alert, is on our list, but I'll get to that later.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Sitting at number eight is the 2022 Kia EV6 Wind. It's a small crossover hatchback that is the first in Kia's lineup to be built from the ground up as an electric vehicle. Given that EVs are usually heavier than gas cars because of those batteries, the Wind is considered a bit of a lightweight, not the kind that can't handle its mimosas at brunch--
[GLASSES CLINKING]
--but the one that won't weigh down the driving experience.
And its 19-range friendly wheels add a nice cherry on top. We tested it the Edmunds way, squeezing every bit of battery energy out like a lemon for lemonade. Just one more drop. [GRUNT] And we got 323 miles out of it, beating the EPA's estimate by 13 miles.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Next on our list at number seven is the Porsche Taycan 4S with Performance Battery Plus. When Porsche first revealed they'd be making an all-electric sports car, we were a bit leery. But after driving this Taycan, we can officially say we're fans. Porsche knocked it out of the park. [CRACK OF THE BAT] And the crowd goes wild.
The Taycan provides the performance, style, and precision that you'd expect from the marquee, and its range matches its quality, outperforming the EPA's estimate by a whopping 120 miles. To get those numbers, we ran in it on more range-friendly settings in the real world, and we were shocked.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Number six, it's the 2021 Mustang Mach-E, more specifically the California Route 1 with extended range battery. The Mach-E is the first Ford to be designed specifically as an electric vehicle. And an electric horse sounds pretty cool to me.
There will be no gas-powered version or even a hybrid. We've tested a bunch of Mach-E trims, and they all beat the EPA's range by as much as almost 15%. And this one is no exception. How far exactly? 344 miles, and beating the EPA's estimated range by 39 miles.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Halfway through our list at number five is the 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid, the second Tesla making our countdown. The Plaid, which gets its name from an obscure Spaceballs movie reference-- Lone Starr, I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. Love that movie. The Schwartz!
Anyway, it has one more electric motor than the other trims for a total of three. This thing has 1,020 horsepower and can do zeo to 60 in just two seconds. But while that's impressive, the Plaid actually underperformed the EPA's estimate in our testing. But it's on our list because it's relatively lightweight for a luxury performance EV, and you can still get 345 miles more range than most.

While we're on Tesla, the Model 3 Long Range takes the spot for number four. Yes, it's a Tesla still. And yes, I probably can come up with the same lame jokes that I just said. But there's significant differences we think set it apart enough to do its own thing on our countdown.
First, it's just like the Model Y, but it's smaller and more lightweight, so it gets better range. Actually, it's lighter than our top three by about 1,000 pounds. But, of course, I'm not going to reveal that now.
In our testing, we were able to squeeze out 345 miles. That's just a little less than the EPA estimate. But don't feel bad, Tesla fans.
And now we've hit the top three. And if you weren't impressed before, be ready to have your socks knocked off.

If you wanted to take a trip from LA to, say, like Phoenix, Arizona, you'd be able to do that with the BMW iX xDrive50. It's been quite a while since we've gotten an all-new fully electric BMW. But the wait has definitely been worth it. Sporting two electric motors, one at each axle, the xDrive50 has a thumping 516 horsepower and can do zero to 60 in just four seconds.
But that's its sexy flex. It's number three on our list because it can deliver 377 miles. Remember, LA to Arizona. . It outperformed the EPA's range test by 62 miles, and that was on 22-inch wheels. Probably could have gotten even more rolling on [INAUDIBLE].
OK, I know what you're thinking. How could we have this list and not include a Mercedes? All right. I'm projecting. You probably weren't thinking that. But I did just give up the number two spot. It's the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+. The EQS is the first all- electric car from Mercedes. It's the equivalent to the gas-powered S-class sedan, which has set the luxury standard for decades. Like the S-class, the EQS features all of Mercedes latest luxury features, in-car tech and advanced driver aids.
But wait, there's more. It overpowered the EPA's range by 20%, able to give you 422 miles. Want to go to Napa Valley? Wine not. You could do that with this EQS and charge up while you sleep off those well-fermented grapes.
And before we move on to the number one pick, I just want to give an honorable mention to another Benz, the 580 4Matic, able to deliver 381 miles.

It doesn't get any more exciting than this in the EV world, showing off American automotive innovation and doing a freaking stellar great job at it.
It's the 2022 Lucid Air Dream Edition. Some might say it was created from a copycat company of Tesla-- not the mail guy, but the big chief, who also oversaw the engineering of the Model S. Got tired of Elon knocking his ideas and developed his own.
The Lucid Air has a massive battery capacity, the equivalent of about three standard Nissan Leaf battery packs. Second largest next to the Rivian. The Air is compatible with the super speedy fast charging stations. Hooking it up to one of those allows it to potentially regain up to 300 miles of range after just 20 minutes of charging. Now that's quick. Its consumption is shockingly good, too, considering it can make 900 horsepower.
Though it came in about 5% less than what the EPA estimated, it's our winner, because out of all the EVs, it can still bust out a whopping 505 miles without charging, which could get you from about halfway from LA to Seattle, where running out of energy is never an issue there. It's clear, we would have completely missed the mark if we slept on the range this dream can give.

Well, there you have it, our best of the best in the EV world when it comes to getting out on the open road and not worrying about how much charge you have left. Sure, some may be bank breakers, but at least now you have standards. Like dating, you'll get anything if you're not particular about at least some things.

Compare the Porsche Taycan
Porsche Taycan vs. Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S was one of the first mainstream EVs to hit the market and proved to be a template for many that followed, including the Taycan. The Model S is larger and quicker than the Taycan. It offers more range too, though we've failed to meet its EPA estimates in our testing. We found the Taycan to be more entertaining to drive, and the Porsche features better overall build quality.
Porsche Taycan vs. Audi e-tron GT
The Audi e-tron GT shares a basic platform with the Taycan. Both are roughly the same size inside and out and offer similar levels of tech and driver aids. The e-tron offers more EPA-estimated range, though the Taycan outperformed it during our real-world testing. We found the Taycan to be slightly better to drive too, though both are quick and sporty.
Porsche Taycan vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E
The Mach-E isn't quite as direct a competitor to the Taycan as the Tesla or Audi, but it's worth considering if you're looking for a performance-themed EV. It offers more range for significantly less money than the Porsche. It also offers a lot of the same in-car tech and driver aids. It's not quite as quick or as good to drive, but the Mustang Mach-E is no slouch, especially in the GT performance trim.
