- The Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo first arrived in 2021 but has recently had a significant upgrade that enhances its range. I find out how much this has improved and how it copes when you venture off-road.

That offroad test is one of the coolest moments of Harry's Garage yet.
Probably the best review of this car I've seen. I appreciate how critical and honest Harry can be. I would be interested in the comfort and practicality during a long distance road trip.
Yes ! Like the one he did with the Testa Rosa.
Can't do long distance in EV 🙄
@@PrimeMatt Of course you can. Drove to Berlin from the East Midlands in one day (15hours) in an EV this year and last. It's entirely doable.
@@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524 which of the EV was it? And how often did you stop to recharge. Very interested in these vehicles.
@@johnnyquest4287 Tesla Model S but everywhere I stopped to charge had Ionity colocated as well and they weren't busy so Porsche would be fine too. Berlin is a 4 stopper (Chunnel car park, Eindohoven, Bielefeld and Magdeburg). Typically 20-30mins each. So expect 2 hours charging in a 12 hour drive. Generally I need to stop (loo,food,stretch legs) before the car does. The online route planner - A BetterRoute Planner, is your friend here.
Sneaky F50 in the garage there..😉
Sure I thought everyone has a pal who just casually asks you to store their f50 for a fews months. 😁
Yup, just 2 million pounds worth of F50 sat there, as you do. It’s Harry’s Garage, wouldn’t expect anything less 😅
And E46 M3
Is the F50 the new F40?
@@raheslop Que?
One of the best car reviewers out there, honest, interesting, and great delivery.
One of the very few Taycan CT reviews that I find pleasant to watch!
A Classic Harry Car Review - always such great insights & a quick test in a field - no one does it better! 🙌👏👏👏👏
Harry, always impresses with his reviews...well done Harry!
I never liked Sunday evenings until I subscribed to Harry's Garage. I really look forward to sitting down after my dinner and opening CZcams. Thanks.
7:00-10:30 AND THAT IS WHY I WATCH YOUR CHANNEL Harry. Another glorious vid thank you, and thank you Porsche.
9:53 love that full ABS engagement test. Tells you so much about how the vehicle is programmed and configured.
Yes and gives you a chance to at least try to steer away from a crash
@@kramnam4716 don’t reply it’s a scam
@@urbanrider429 what scam? I made a legitimate point about the ABS system. If the scammers are writing real comments at this point we are all screwed.
@@otm646 theyve started posting random timestamps (sometimes even longer than the video actually is) and then copy pasting real comments that are already on the video, but im not sure how that leads to a scam honestly
Wrong timestamp. 9:40 - 9:44 is where the fun starts.
That slow mo shot caught me off guard! Wow!
Hi Harry. Interesting update video, as we’ve come to expect from your channel. Loving the new slo-mo camera work.
Great review. Lovely car! Keep them coming Harry! Miss the landrover from Harry’s farm!!!
Harry’s Garage…comfort TV on a Sunday night.👌
Great review - so unique - who boots a Taycan around a a steep Cotswold field? Keep doing what you are doing Harry - it is exactly like when Evo came out in that you are taking motoring reviews up a notch from where it was/is. This time in CZcams form. You are moving the game on and its great.
The Taycan GT is my current favorite new car. I really want to drive one for a week to try it out. I’m sure I’ll fall in love with it.
Great review as always, range, range, range, needs to be higher. Love the shape and colour, cheers Harry
Harry has done a great job in describing what it’s like with a Taycan. I have had a 4S for just over 2 years and 49k miles.
One comment on Range Mode, you can configure it up to 85mph but if you route a destination in the Porsche Nav and it has enough charge then it bumps the max speed to 90mph, which is handy in California 😂
As a 70 mph limit requires some headroom. 😎
Fantastic review, also credit to the on board sound of you and the rear tracking camera in front on anther car is excellent and so stable, nice job team!
Ps, I’m very pleased your tried out the ultra charger at cobham, thanks
Another easy to watch, unique, real-world style review. Harry is an automotive industry treasure!
You just expect quality from Harry every time you get a notification you know its gonna be good
Harry fantastic review!!!
Love Porsches
I appreciate Harry's heads-up about the driver's inability to even see the panoramic roof--that tip saved me significant money right there
I feel the same about the glass roof in my Model Y …… I don’t see the point ! The driver can’t see it …
@@maxflight777 More light inside of the car even if you don't notice the roof while you're driving
Agree - didn't spec it - enough worrying about windscreen stone chips let alone roof chips and cracks - rare but happens.
Anther great review. I kind of like the whirring noise. It gives an audible sense that helps to hold a constant speed like an IC engine.
Excellent Vid Harry thank you.. been hoping you would review this one and yes using it around the farm, ideal looks very capable.. Interesting improvements from 2 years ago, if I was to go for a electric car this would be it as its sort of of bit of a Swiss Army Knife or a car which I really like being a 911 owner for many years this seems to tick all the boxes .. The Defender vid is excellent as well these cars should be used to there full potential.. Brilliant stuff look forward to the next vid 👍
lovely machine and great review.. loved see it in the field
Great review as ever. With the traction tech and close to 2.5T the grip/surface friction will be amazing. So good to see it in situ. 🙏
Great review Harry, as always I'm off to the configurator now 😀
Always enjoy Harry’s videos.
When all else fails and you need to escape from the wife and kids for a while "Welcome to a new Harry's Garage video."
Thanks Harry.
My Turbo S Cross Turismo arrives 17th March. Even more excited now after watching this review. 👍🏻
man, this car is such a dream I hope to achieve one day in my life… Awesome review!
Now my Sunday is complete Harry’s Garage just dropped
simply a great review of a great vehicle !
Space ship Porsche and great design! Another galaxy; off we go into the future. Thank you.
Fun fact, if you opt for the electronic charge flap the wheel well vent by the door is blocked off… stay with the standard manual charge flap and it’s a functioning vent
That wasn't fun.
except that it lets dirt to get sprayed along the sides of the car -- very bad design... Best to get the electronic charge-port door to keep dirt from splattering onto the car's side...
@@cbatiau2528 the electronic decreases range by a lot
@@AbbadonXII Yeah maybe 3 km 😂
@@rodneyschoengeist3156 well it changes the Dc from 0.22 to 0.25 just because owners are lazy
Harry - you passed the freeway with your Emira when going to the Moevenpick in Egerkingen - that Testarossa... WOW!
Another proper review!
Great demo.
Great review
Uncle Harry has the coolest toys and the most interesting videos.
Harry, you're the man, I love you.
Best reviewer on CZcams 👍🏻
Great car and a fantastic review!
Ending the weekend with a long detailed video!
Thanks Harry.
Great Video!
Thanks Harry.😊
Namaste!!!!
Top Review, as usual.
Excellent review, thank you. With all that tech, goodness knows how much it would cost to fix if it ever went wrong, which it will of course.
Very nice Harry
Thanks Harry this is the first EV i like but it's probably due simply to your in-depth knowledge and review.
Awesome Harry - I'll take one!
Only Harry would think of doing offroading in a Porsche Taycan!
Always rate your content Harry. The only thing I don’t like that has become a recent effect is the slow motion. Love that your videos are straight forward with no gimmicks.
pleb
Great review! Harry Please do a review on that F50 in your garage! 🙏
Love the look of this
Harry the cars in the background are far more interesting I kept watching just to look at rolls and lambo
Love watching Harry’s reviews, it’s like an old school gentlemen’s car channel. No stupid ‘stick of truth’ throwing boot covers around😂
I can confirm that it is better then most cars on snow. Greetings from the Alps!
Good to hear! Although I'm not surprised, as it seemed to find traction where there wasn't any around the farm..
A bigger boot than the SF90 - all the consumer info you need right there!!
just love this car …… well done Porsche
I took delivery of my Taycan 4S CT in July and up to now have not found the range to be too much of an issue. My longest trip was from West Wales to Portsmouth and then on to Silverstone and back to W. Wales. The IONITY charge point at Chippenham was the time for a cup of coffee and it was done! The vast majority of my charging is done overnight at home for less than 5p kWh. While I know this is going to change when my contract ends, this still makes the running cost of a car with this performance unbelievable. Harry's review was spot on as expected.

Great revie, loved to see a long trip warts n all please
Seen a green one pulling into my local pub carpark and i just went WOW that is nice
A maintenance manual still from a combustion engine. Great job, Porsche. Don't forget to charge for ticking the boxes.
Gobsmacked! I am speechless.
He hit the nail on the head about the lack of engagement. I have found high performance EV’s (including the Taycan) highly competent and fun to drive but without any real interest for an enthusiast. I will happily own one as the family vehicle but will keep my fingers tightly crossed that weekend petrol fuelled fun will remain possible for a long time to come.
Glad to hear you pronounce Porsche name correctly 😊
Like your vids, thanks
Great video, my mate had one and loved it, sold it back to Porsche for a decent profit.
OMG just saw the F50 🥰
And I thought what was so amazing? It was just going up the hill...
and then he went down with ABS kicked in all the way then I was like HOLY... the TC masked all the wheel slip to make it looked normal, that was very impressive.
First class review Harry, cannot fault what you say on this. If I am to go electric prior to 2030 then this would be it for it, defo. Love the styling, love the premium feel of s Porsche as well as badge braggery! Looking forward to the next review.... I wonder what it could be? Dacia Duster?
Dacia?
Now that would be interesting.
Great vid Harry .
Would love a review of new rimac. Surely have the contacts to get a little go in one?? 😁😁
Seen plenty of Taycans about recently, I think it’s a great looking car. Not sure about the Cross Turismo though, think I’d need to see one in person to properly judge it
the ct looks epic in person, looks more aggressive, this spec isnt the best looking..
What a fabulous car!!!
thank you
As always Harry delivers a great review.
Are you getting your hands on a Taycan GTS Sport Turismo?
I have one, and had a 911 before. I agree with everything Harry stated. The Taycan smashes the 911 in every performance aspect, acceleration and road handling. But god I miss the noise of the 991 generation I had. There just isn’t any emotion in the driving.
Great review, Harry (as always). I love the exterior styling of the Cross Turismo. I do hope the Sport Chrono is an option because I wouldn't have it cluttering the dashboard.
Marvelous!!!
Have had 2020 Taycan 4S since release. Waiting on allocation GTS Sport Turismo.
Harry, I noticed your sound is excellent. Not sure if you have made any improvements, but, sounding really good.
Think he’s got a new camera, mentioned it on Harry’s farm
The wedding vegetables are strangely silent. Great video,
The software change to the range will allow deeper discharge before it's empty. Fully discharging lithium-ion batteries kills them so they've decided either they were too conservative in the initial iteration and the battery will be fine or that battery life won't be compromised too much before getting out of warranty.
I have a Taycan, doesn’t actually need a service as such. Just a check over after 20k miles which was only £250
a lot cheaper than the quoted Porsche service pack at time of purchase
The range increase should have come from unlocking some upper buffer on the battery pack. Taycan is known to have a relatively big buffer.
Loved the cross country test drive. Porsche rarely make mistakes. This car is top of my list for a possible new car.
I agree with Harry: you need the full power when you're off to Waitrose. Good looking car and I'm not in the market for anything that expensive but for those that can, that's not a great range. I remember that Harry said that he wanted a car with range for a full day's driving which is about 500 miles so we're not there yet at any price. I guess only a hybrid would make that available.
I just come back from a driving holiday. I am sure there are some people who would do it but personally I don’t ever see myself wanting to drive more than 200-250 miles without at least a 20 minute stop. That is about 4.5 hours of motorway driving. With
some traffic, that is closer to 5 hours. For me the sweet spot is 300 miles range. Enough not to ever have to worry about range and capable of charging at higher speeds to that with a 20 minute toilet break and snack/leg stretch ai can be back on the road.
sorry we are just not available in the UK , the Lucid Air , over 500 real world range and the standard tourer is only slightly slower than the model s plaid .
@@ewadge Just done Inverness to Northamptonshire non stop in a Diesel Ford Kuga, Easily made it on one tank seems slightly ridiculous a 100k car can't get close to that type of vehicle availability.
Brilliant car, and you even liked the exterior design for a Porche
Hi Harry,
Cracking video as usual.
Would love to see you do one of your European adventures with an EV.
Harry, at about 11:15 you refer to the increased range as about 250 miles, but the close up of the screen you show indicates 100% Charge and a range of 254km which is closer to 150 miles.
I am probably missing out , but nothing electric inspires me. I must be getting old. The Lancia slot can not come soon enough.
In my opinion you missed one major dislike - it’s got looks even it’s mother would struggle to love! Brilliant review though, please keep them coming Harry!
If I could afford any EV it would be a Taycan as Porsche you know it’s just done right plus the interior is fantastic. I know in a previous life it was his job to review Car but always love these honest test drives. But question was it relaxing to drive, I figure on a long trip it would be more relaxing and less tiring. I’d love to do Glasgow to Duxford and back that I did last year in my MINI 😁 Porsche U.K. just play this clip to anyone thinking about the Taycan in your showroom and you’ll have a sale right there. 👍 Second generation will be next level the way battery tech is improving. These things will get to 400 miles in time real world with lighter packs.
I’d have gone with the normal Taycan but after the field test I’m sold…probably great on snow. Right Alps for skiing then 😁
Nice show as ever --- and this one's literal green carpet test drive for the electric vehicle.
Hello. Great looking car! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
ice grey metallica - or white as we used to call it
Thouroughly enjoyable video as always, Harry.
I spy an F50 in the garage - hope to see a test on that one soon!
Keep up the great work!
Very similar spec to my own car. I ordered it the day after the launch in March 2021. Coming up for a year now and it has been great. For my commute, which is only 15 mins, but hilly, so over an hour on bike and very inefficient with any ICE vehicle. It's stupidly large for a 4 seat car, but incredibly comfortable and also actually handles well too - you can enjoy an open road.
The "electric noise" is a synthesized version of the actual motors. It's most useful for making more noise outside of the car, so you don't surprise pedestrians in towns and villages.
