THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial Reviewed against NHTSA data 2026-07-03

The 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is a performance-oriented electric sport utility wagon aimed at buyers who want genuine Porsche driving character alongside everyday practicality. Sitting in the premium electric vehicle segment, it blends a raised, wagon-inspired body with all-wheel drive capability, targeting enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between excitement and versatility.

From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo presents a picture that is notably clean but also notably thin. NHTSA has not crash-tested this model in the years we cover, which means shoppers cannot lean on federal star ratings or a Safety Index score to benchmark this vehicle against rivals. That absence is not a red flag on its own - low-volume premium models frequently go untested - but it does leave a real gap in the objective safety record. On the positive side, the recall count for the 2025 model year sits at zero, which is a genuinely encouraging figure for any vehicle, let alone one in its first full production cycle at this specification level. Porsche's broader engineering reputation for tight build processes is consistent with that result, though we note we measure data, not reputation. Owner complaints total just two across the covered year, with zero reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths attached to those filings. These are unverified allegations, and two complaints on a low-volume model carry limited statistical weight either way. The honest bottom line: the 2025 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo has a clean administrative safety record so far, but the lack of crash-test data means shoppers are buying on engineering pedigree rather than verified federal scores. If independent crash-test results matter to your decision, monitor NHTSA and IIHS for future testing.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Taycan Cross Turismo as one of the most refined and dynamically rewarding electric vehicles available, praising its sharp steering, composed ride, and premium cabin materials. Most find the raised wagon body style a practical and attractive alternative to a crossover, though some note the cargo area and rear headroom involve modest compromises compared to taller rivals.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2025 Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, so no federal star ratings or Safety Index score exist for this model year. Shoppers cannot directly compare its crash performance to tested rivals using government data.
  • The 2025 model carries zero NHTSA recalls, which is a positive indicator for a low-volume premium EV in its covered model year, though the absence of recalls does not substitute for independent crash-test verification.
  • Only two owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA for the 2025 model year, with none involving reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. These are unverified allegations and the low volume limits any broad conclusions.
  • Because this vehicle is untested by NHTSA in the years we cover, prospective buyers with strong crash-safety priorities should check whether IIHS has evaluated the Taycan body family and watch for any future NHTSA testing updates before finalizing a purchase.
