Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo
NHTSA safety across every Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo model year we cover.
Across the 3 model years of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo we cover (2022 to 2024), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 29 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is a high-performance all-electric sport wagon occupying the very top of Porsche's Taycan lineup. Blending supercar acceleration with practical lifted-wagon packaging, it targets affluent buyers who want track-capable performance without sacrificing everyday usability. It competes in a thin but growing segment of premium electric performance wagons, and carries a price point that puts it firmly in ultra-luxury territory.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2022-2024 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo presents a mixed picture that shoppers at this price level should take seriously. NHTSA has not crash-tested this variant in any of the three model years we cover, meaning there are no federal star ratings or Safety Index scores to reference. That absence of independent crash-test validation is a real gap, regardless of how sophisticated the underlying platform is. Porsche's engineering reputation does not substitute for actual test results. The recall count is the more pressing concern. Across 2022 through 2024, this model has accumulated 29 recalls - a notably high figure for a vehicle with a relatively small sales footprint. Recall activity at that volume across just three model years signals that Porsche has been actively discovering and correcting issues, which is better than ignoring them, but it also means owners have needed to make repeated service visits to address safety-related deficiencies. Owner complaints stand at 106 across the covered period, with 5 reported crashes, 2 reported fires, and 4 reported injuries embedded in that total. These are unverified allegations, but the fire reports in particular warrant attention given that they involve a high-voltage battery platform. The honest bottom line: the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is an extraordinary performance machine, but its safety record through federal data is unproven on the crash side and actively busy on the recall side.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo as one of the most refined and dynamically accomplished electric vehicles available, praising its sharp steering, composed ride, and premium cabin materials. Most find the wagon body style adds genuine practicality without compromising the driving experience. Some note the infotainment learning curve and the comparatively tight rear quarters for a vehicle of this footprint and cost.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo in any model year from 2022 to 2024, so there are no federal star ratings to guide your safety comparison against rivals.
- With 29 recalls across just three model years and a modest overall sales volume, this model carries an unusually high recall rate - verify that any used example you consider has all open recalls completed before purchase.
- Owner-reported data includes 2 fire allegations across the covered period. While unverified, fire incidents involving high-voltage EV battery systems are a category worth monitoring through NHTSA's complaint database as ownership numbers grow.
- If safety-test transparency matters to you, check whether Euro NCAP has tested the standard Taycan platform - that data, while not a direct substitute for NHTSA results on this specific variant, may offer some structural insight into the underlying architecture.
