The electric wagon just got sexier.

To everyone who thought that the idea of Porsche introducing an electric vehicle to the market was a bad one, thesales figures have shownthat the people in Stuttgartknow exactly what their customers want. The Taycan has been an immense success, but Porsche wants more. The automaker offers sedan and Cross Turismo variants, the latter of which is a mildly lifted wagon with off-road elements, but these have now been superseded by the Sport Turismo, a sexy wagon without any plastic garnishings or unsightly off-road additions.

In total, five trims are being offered across the pond. The entry-level Taycan Sport Turismo produces 321 horsepower, but a Performance Battery Plus option exists for those who want more, boosting power to 375 hp. The 4S model has a base output of 429 hp but also has the option of an upgraded battery. Here, it increases output to 482 hp. This model offers the most range in the lineup, with a WLTP rating of 309 miles. The range-topper of the so-called regular models is the aforementioned GTS, producing 509 hp as standard, with no battery upgrade available.

The Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo and its Turbo S sibling once again offer 616 hp, but with the overboost function engaged, this rises to 670 hp in the regular model and 750 hp in the S. A 0-62 mph sprint time of 2.8 seconds is possible here, as is a top speed of 161 mph.

When you've depleted all that energy, charging the Taycan Sport Turismo from 5-80% will take just 22 minutes 30 seconds. If you're in a rush, five minutes of charging adds an extra 62 miles of range. While we're on the subject of practical matters, the Sport Turismo's greatest attribute is its increased storage capacity. Along with a larger opening, the ST also has more space inside the trunk area.

As for pricing, the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS starts at $133,300 before options or destination.
