The Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo's cargo potential has been recently checked in Bjørn Nyland's humorous banana box test.
This model is envisioned for those who need slightly more space than what the standard Porsche Taycan can offer (and overall a more versatile car than the performance-focused Taycan), so let's see the difference.
The small frunk (front trunk) turns to be big enough for one box, which is a small perk (same in both models).
In the Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo's trunk, Bjørn Nyland was able to fit a total of 7 boxes - that's two more than in the case of the Taycan.
After folding the rear seats, a total of 19 boxes were inside (plus frunk), which brings us to a total of 20. The difference between the Taycan Cross Turismo and Taycan is 4 boxes then (20:16). A higher roof line is clearly helping.
Interestingly, Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo noted a better result than the Mercedes-Benz EQC and Jaguar I-PACE.
