Porsche Is Killing The Taycan Cross Turismo And Sport Turismo After 2026

Porsche has confirmed that 2026 will be the final model year for both the Taycan Sport Turismo and Taycan Cross Turismo. Starting with the 2027 model year, only the Taycan sedan carries on — the two long-roof variants are done. For buyers who wanted a fast, practical EV with genuine Porsche engineering in a wagon or lifted-wagon body, the order window is closing.

The decision came down to sales. Porsche delivered 4,142 Taycans across all variants in the US in 2025 — a modest number against the Macan’s 27,139 and the Cayenne’s 20,314. Without a model-by-model breakdown, the exact wagon tally stays private, but the fact that both body styles are being cut simultaneously tells the story clearly enough.

What Made The Taycan Wagons Worth Having

The Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo weren’t just Taycan sedans with a longer roofline grafted on. The Sport Turismo offered a proper shooting-brake silhouette — a low, sleek wagon that carried Porsche’s performance DNA without sacrificing cargo space. The Cross Turismo added raised ride height and a more rugged stance, making it the lifted-wagon option for buyers who wanted all-weather versatility alongside EV performance.

Both variants shared the Taycan’s dual-motor setup and 800-volt architecture, enabling rapid DC fast charging and the kind of throttle response that makes the sedan genuinely quick. The Turbo GT version of the sedan recently set a 6:55 Nürburgring lap time — the fastest EV production car record at the time — which underlines just how serious Porsche’s electric platform is. The wagons drew from that same engineering foundation while adding real-world practicality that the sedan can’t match.

Low Sales And A Familiar Pattern For Porsche Wagons

This isn’t the first time Porsche has quietly retired a long-roof variant. The Panamera Sport Turismo (pictured above) followed a similar arc — enthusiast praise, modest sales, eventual discontinuation — and the Taycan wagons are now repeating that cycle. American buyers have consistently chosen SUVs and crossovers over wagons, and Porsche’s own lineup reflects that reality: the Macan and Cayenne together accounted for more than 47,000 US deliveries in 2025, while the entire Taycan range managed just over 4,000.

Porsche’s decision to move forward with the 2027 Taycan sedan — updated with a new simulated gear-shift system among other changes — signals where the brand sees its EV future. The sedan platform continues; the wagon experiment, at least in the US market, does not.

2026 Is the Last Call for Wagon Buyers

Porsche

If the Sport Turismo or Cross Turismo has been on your shortlist, 2026 is the year to act. Once the model year closes, there is no next-generation wagon version announced or implied — Porsche’s communications have been clear that the sedan is the sole survivor going forward.

For EV-curious buyers drawn to the practicality angle, the alternatives are thin at this price point. No other manufacturer currently offers a direct equivalent — a performance-focused, premium EV in a wagon body with this level of engineering behind it. The Cross Turismo in particular, with its raised suspension and all-weather positioning, filled a niche that simply won’t have a Porsche replacement. Buyers who have been waiting for the right moment now have a hard deadline.

Porsche wagons have always been a tough sell in the US, even when the product itself was genuinely compelling. The Taycan Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo were no exception. They were arguably the most practical performance EVs money could buy — and that apparently wasn’t enough. 2026 orders are the last chance to find out what you’ll be missing.

TopSpeed’s Take

Audi

It’s sad whenever the world loses a wagon. And while it’s not something most drivers can afford, the death of an electric Porsche wagon stings. But while this one may go the way of the dodo, there is plenty for wagon fans to be hopeful about. BMW is floating the idea of bringing more wagons to the US to join the M5 Touring, for instance. Audi is also bringing back the A6 Allroad (pictured) as a plug-in hybrid. We’d love to see another all-electric wagon come to market, but we’re not holding our breath for that.
