In electric vehicles, the range is a top concern for many drivers. The good news is that the range of the new 2025 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo has improved in several key ways. So, what allows this luxury EV to go the extra mile? There are a few important factors at play:
Battery Capacity: The 2025 model has a greater battery-capacity than previous models. The standard battery is 83.6 kWh (up from 79.2 kWh), and the Performance battery is 97 kWh (up from 93 kWh). More battery capacity means more range.
Powertrain Efficiency: Powertrain and drivetrain improvements allow the 2025 model to travel farther on a single charge than earlier versions. Porsche engineers optimised efficiency to increase range.
Charging Capability: The new 320 kW charging system can add range faster. Charging for 18 minutes adds about 320 kilometres of range (10-80% charge). Faster charging means more range available in shorter charging stops.
Design and Weight: The low, sleek design and lightweight materials of the Cross Turismo’s body optimise efficiency and range compared to larger electric SUVs. Less weight and more aerodynamics improve the kilometres per kWh used.
Driving Style: As with all EVs, driving style significantly impacts achievable range. Moderate acceleration and highway speeds allow the vehicle to travel farther, whereas aggressive launches and high speeds reduce range.
