The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo has many talents and is aimed at people who like to spend their free time travelling, playing sport and pursuing other outdoor activities. Thanks to all-wheel drive, every ski slope is easy to reach, while the flexible interior creates space for all kinds of sports equipment and modern load-carrying systems facilitate the transport of surfboards or a Porsche e-bike.
The strengths of the four-door four-seater include an emotional design with striking off-road elements as well as an innovative display and operating concept with touchscreen and eye-tracking control.
Measuring 4.95m in length, the concept vehicle has all-wheel drive and an 800V architecture, prepared for connection to the fast charging network.
It can also be charged by induction, at a charging station or using the Porsche home energy storage system.
The road-ready Mission E Cross Turismo builds on the Mission E study Porsche demonstrated at the 2015 International Motor Show and uses elements that are close to series production.
With a low-cut bonnet between heavily curved wings, the front of the Mission E Cross Turismo reveals its relationship to the sports car icon Porsche 911 at first glance. The off-road design elements include robust wheel arch protection and door sills, a striking front spoiler and lower rear and increased ground clearance.
The silhouette is defined by a sporty roofline that slopes off to the rear, which Porsche designers refer to as a 'flyline'. This is reminiscent of the rear of the Panamera Sport Turismo. Equally distinctive for the brand is the dynamic shape of the side windows.
The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo is aimed at people who like to spend their free time playing sport or pursuing other outdoor activities. Passengers stand to benefit from the flexible nature of the four-seater, which measures 1.42m in height.
For example, the backrest of each individual seat in the rear has a load-through facility. This can be used for skis and other long equipment. The interior reinterprets classic Porsche elements, bringing them into the digital age.
Take the dashboard, for example, which emphasises the vehicle's width and is composed of a wing-shaped upper and lower part. The instrument panel is clearly organised horizontally with an extra-wide display for the driver and front passenger.
The freestanding instrument cluster is angled towards the driver and includes three circular display graphics with digital content on TFT screens. The centre console between the front seats rises towards the dash panel.
Two permanent magnet synchronous motors with a system output of more than 592bhp allow the Mission E Cross Turismo to accelerate to 100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and to reach a speed of 200km/h in under 12 seconds.
Furthermore, the level of continuous power is unmatched by any other electric vehicle. Multiple accelerations are possible in direct succession without loss of performance. Power is guaranteed on any surface thanks to on-demand all-wheel drive with Porsche Torque Vectoring, which automatically distributes torque to individual wheels.
