Porsche is preparing to shrink the Taycan family in the United States, confirming that the Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo variants will be discontinued after the 2026 model year.
The move removes two of the most distinctive electric wagons from the American market. It also underlines a familiar reality for automakers: even when enthusiasts love wagons, most buyers still walk into dealerships looking for SUVs, crossovers and pickup trucks.
A Porsche representative confirmed the decision, saying the Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo body styles played only a minor role in the brand’s US sales mix.
A Short Run for Porsche’s Electric Wagons
The Taycan Cross Turismo arrived in 2021, bringing a more adventurous take on Porsche’s electric sports sedan. With added ground clearance, rugged body cladding and all-wheel-drive hardware, it was designed for buyers who wanted Taycan performance with a little more practicality.
The Sport Turismo followed in 2022. It dropped the Cross Turismo’s off-road-inspired styling and focused instead on a lower, cleaner wagon profile. In the US, it was offered only as the Taycan GTS, making it a niche choice from the start.
Both models gave the Taycan more rear-seat headroom and useful cargo space than the standard sedan. More importantly, they gave Porsche something rare in the EV world: a genuinely stylish long-roof performance car.
But style alone was not enough to keep them alive.
Low Demand Seals Their Fate
Porsche does not publish US sales figures by Taycan body style, but the overall numbers show why the company may be tightening the lineup.
Taycan sales in the US have softened in recent years. The model recorded 7,570 deliveries in 2023, before slipping to 4,747 units in 2024 and 4,142 units in 2025. The Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo were likely only a small slice of those totals.
That puts the decision in perspective. The Taycan remains an important car for Porsche, but its wagon variants were always aimed at a narrow audience. In a market where SUVs dominate even luxury showrooms, the business case for keeping multiple low-volume body styles becomes difficult.
The decision is disappointing for wagon fans, especially because the Cross Turismo and Sport Turismo offered something most electric vehicles do not: practicality without the bulk of an SUV.
The Taycan Sedan Moves Forward for 2027
While the wagons are leaving US showrooms, Porsche is giving the Taycan sedan a significant update for the 2027 model year.
The smaller battery option has been dropped, meaning every Taycan will now come with the larger Performance Battery Plus pack. Porsche says the battery offers 97 kWh of usable capacity, bringing more energy storage to the entry-level versions of its electric sports car.
The 2027 Taycan also introduces an optional E-Shift system. It simulates an eight-speed gearbox using steering-wheel paddles, complete with virtual gear changes, a rev counter and a more dramatic electric sound experience.
It may sound unusual for an EV, but Porsche is clearly trying to make the Taycan feel more involving for drivers who miss the rhythm and theatre of a conventional performance car.
Another Wagon Leaves the US Market
The end of the Taycan Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo marks another loss for wagon buyers in America. Porsche’s electric long-roof models were never mainstream, but they stood out precisely because they refused to follow the SUV formula.
For now, buyers who want a Taycan in the US will have to settle for the sedan. The wagon chapter is closing, even if it deserved a longer run.
