Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo review

There are three distinct levels to the Taycan Cross Turismo price structure – the 4S starts the range at £99,465, but the Turbo Cross Turismo Turbo kicks things up into the troposphere at £138,265 and the Turbo S is in orbit somewhere at £165,265.

Let’s be honest, though – you don’t need the Turbo S. You might want it, and its ridiculous shove is admittedly hilarious, but once you’ve got past that stage, the lesser models, specced right, make more sense financially. Just be prepared to spend that bit extra getting the spec as you want it. Optioning up a 4S with the bits you want – Bose surround sound, matrix LED lights, upgraded seats, PTV torque vectoring, PDCC chassis control etc – adds up quickly.

When it comes to monthly leasing, the 4S is obviously the cheapest and is the one to go for at around £1,400 a month over four years, assuming you’ve got £20k to stick down as a deposit. A Turbo leaps to £2,100 a month and the full fat Turbo S over £2,600 a month after a £33k deposit and/or spare kidney. Just kidding.

Those are all through Porsche directly and as ever there are deals to be had, so be sure to shop around. Including second hand. Used car sites are teaming with Taycans because depreciation absolutely rinsed some early owners – high-mileage examples started dipping below £30k earlier in 2026, which is the kind of depreciation that would’ve made a BMW i8 shed a tear.

At least Benefit-in-Kind company car tax is palatable: for 2026/27 BiK on EVs is just four per cent, or about nine times less than what you’d pay for an M3 Touring.

Oh, and do yourself a favour and watch out for the recharging costs away from home – they’ll be at least double, if not triple what you’re likely to pay from the comfort of your own driveway. Some public stations charge close to £1 per kilowatt-hour, at which rate you’ll be paying £80-ish for most of a charge and more per mile than you would for petrol or diesel. Ouch.
