Ever since seeing both concepts I always wondered how Porsche fans and enthusiasts are divided among them since both serve very vital roles in the current automotive landscape. Porsche has captivated the market with sporty SUV's and a wagon, the Panamera, that people actually want. After all, a next-generation Panamera only recently came out! On the other end sedans can thrive when done right, as proven by Mercedes, BMW and Audi, Porsche now wants a piece of that action but in a new way.
Make your choice and let us know why you chose either model. Looking forward to the responses!
Not a big fan of all these lifted wagons that automakers are trying to pass off as 'off roaders'. I am glad that we are finally seeing a fully electric estate, because I know there will be demand for it in Europe.
I agree. If you are in the market with something that has better off road performance, you may as well just get a crossover/SUV. The only other electric wagon that I think we've seen is a one off Model S that was coach built.
This naturally happens with any high end brand, the product becomes something more and isn't just for its fundamental purpose. Instead its an experience or feeling that someone is after because well, you sure don't see this happening in cheaper segments that attract buyers on entry-to-mid level salaries.

Everyone knows that these can very well get you into the trails but coming out, good luck. European cars are notorious when it comes to reliability and that alone is enough for the majority of owners to not do anything outside what the other mass of owners do. The exceptions are hardcore 911 enthusiasts that want pure fun.
I think you could arguably say the same thing about the Cayenne, as most owners of that aren't going to venture off the pavement either. Aside from loose dirt/gravel paths neither of these vehicles can be considered off roaders.

Just came across some new amateur spy photos. It looks like the Porsche is out testing the Taycan Cross Turismo AND the Sport Turismo.
The first photo is definitely out best look yet of the Cross Turismo. Note the roof rails and the slightly higher ride height.
The Sport Turismo is next to it...
A prototype for the upcoming Taycan Cross Turismo was spotted testing in Spain. While it does have camouflage on there's no hiding its shooting brake look.
For whatever reason I was expecting something a bit more drastic looking. But I think this shape works with the Taycan's profile. What...
I know that Porsche has said that the Cross Turismo will debut this year as a 2021 model, but have they confirmed more specifically when that's going to happen?
Motor1 seems to think that it could happen at the Geneva Motor Show in March, "where Porsche unveiled the Mission E Cross Turismo in...
Truth about the Taycan is, not everyone will want one and when it come to the Cross Turismo, some might prefer its Panamera relative.
Who would prefer one of the current Panamera trims over the Taycan CT?
Exciting to see a comparison between these three. The Porsche is still the concept so I'm not sure how realistic any of those numbers are, but still interesting to read.
