Extra practicality with minimal performance loss compared to the sedan. The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo isn't the world's first electric wagon, but it's certainly the most exciting. It combines all of the sedan's qualities and sprinkles some extra practicality you'd expect from a car with a longer roof. It sits 0.8 inches (20 millimeters) higher than the regular Taycan or a further 0.4 inches (10 millimeters) provided the Off Road Design Package is included. The optional kit comes with even more plastic body cladding to mimic the SUV-like look also made possible by using beefier fenders and model-specific rocker panels. The front and rear fascias have been updated, with the most obvious changes being at the back to swap out the trunk lid for a more practical hatch and the essential rear wiper. Porsche is adding a dedicated Gravel mode to the Taycan Cross Turismo, raising the suspension to its tallest settings and making changes to the stability control and torque … [Read more...] about Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Debuts With Huge Glass Roof, Gravel Mode

2022 Mercedes EQS Reveals Swoopy Profile In New Teaser Image
The brand's first car to be developed from the ground up as an EV is shaping up quite nicely. Mercedes must be getting closer to the world premiere of its hotly anticipated EQS because the three-pointed star is intensifying its teaser campaign. It was only on Tuesday when the German luxury brand dropped a smartphone-friendly video shot in portrait mode previewing the screen-heavy interior and now we're being given a closer look at the exterior. Thankfully, the camouflage is all gone now. This still qualifies as a teaser image because Mercedes deliberately lowered the brightness. However, we fiddled with the photo's settings and bumped up the exposure and brightness in our quest to unlock more design details. Having launched the stunning first-generation CLS in 2004 after a preview a year earlier with the Vision CLS concept, the Stuttgart-based squad sure knows how to infuse some coupe cues in a sedan's roofline.

Skoda Kodiaq Coupe Confirmed For China Along With Two New SUVs
One of them is likely the second-gen Yeti while the other is possibly a smaller model. A couple of interesting slideshows have emerged from China showing Skoda’s plans to bolster its SUV portfolio with a strong four-model lineup. One of them has already been revealed: the seven-seat Kodiaq . It seems the model will eventually receive the “coupe” treatment, so expect the roofline to be more raked towards the rear end. That’ll eat into the rear headroom and will likely have a negative impact on the trunk’s capacity as well. It shouldn’t be much of an issue considering the Kodiaq is huge on the inside. Revealed: Skoda Kodiaq GT Revealed As Brand's Flagship Model In China Yeti (speculatively rendered above) and set to grow in size to become a true compact crossover. We have it on good authority that in Europe (at least), the all-new Yeti will be unveiled in the second half of the year and will likely receive its premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in … [Read more...] about Skoda Kodiaq Coupe Confirmed For China Along With Two New SUVs
