Fuel economy at a glance
These are the EPA's official ratings for the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo. The numbers come from a standardised laboratory test cycle and are the same figures that appear on the window sticker of every new car. Real-world mileage varies with driving style, weather, fuel quality, and how heavily loaded the car is.
Combined MPG is a 55/45 weighted blend of the city and highway test cycles. The EPA uses it as the single number you can compare across the entire dataset, including hybrids and EVs (which use the equivalent MPGe figure).
| Combined MPG | 75 MPG |
| City MPG | 76 MPG |
| Highway MPG | 74 MPG |
| Annual fuel cost | $1,000 |

How the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo compares
The 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo returns 75 combined MPG. Cars in the Midsize Cars class for the same model year average 39.9 MPG, which puts this car ahead of the class average by about 88%.
The most efficient car in the Midsize Cars class for the 2023 model year is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Long range RWD (18 inch Wheels) at 140 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.
For broader context, the average new car of the 2023 model year (across all classes) returns 33.7 MPG. Larger vehicles pull the all-cars average down, so do not use that figure on its own to judge a small car or a hybrid. The full list of the most efficient cars of the 2023 model year is on its own page.
Annual fuel cost across driving patterns
The headline annual fuel cost the EPA publishes assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year and a fuel mix of 55% city and 45% highway. The dollar figure is calculated using the EPA's current reference price for electricity, which is $0.15/kilowatt-hour. EPA updates that reference periodically rather than tracking live pump prices, so treat it as a window-sticker estimate rather than today's pump number.
The table below scales the EPA's number to three common driving patterns. The combined MPGe and the reference electricity price stay constant, only the annual mileage changes. Charging at home rather than at a public DC fast charger usually lowers the real cost below the EPA's published figure.
| Driving pattern | Estimated annual fuel cost |
|---|---|
| Light driver, 7,500 miles per year | $500 |
| Average driver, 15,000 miles per year | $1,000 |
| Heavy driver, 25,000 miles per year | $1,667 |

Specifications
The 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo is a fully electric vehicle. It is powered by 190 and 335 kw acpm. The EPA rates its driving range at 222 miles.
Engine, transmission, and drivetrain together drive most of the variation in fuel economy across trims. A larger engine moves the car with less effort but burns more fuel. A turbo lets a small engine punch above its weight, often without much MPG penalty. All-wheel drive adds traction and weight, and usually costs a couple of MPG compared with two-wheel drive of the same engine.

Combined MPG has stayed close to flat across the run. Both the earliest (2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo, 73 MPG) and most recent (2026 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo, 77 MPG) versions sit in the same range. -
How much CO₂ does the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo emit?
The 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo produces zero tailpipe emissions because it runs entirely on electricity. The full carbon footprint of charging it depends on how the electricity on your local grid is generated, which varies a lot from one state to another. -
What is the difference between the city and highway MPG of the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo?
City driving returns 76 MPG and highway driving returns 74 MPG. A flat (or city-better) split is the signature of a hybrid or electric drivetrain, where regenerative braking recovers energy that would otherwise be lost in stop-start city traffic. -
What motor does the 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo use?
The 2023 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo uses 190 and 335 kW ACPM. Electric motors do not have a displacement or cylinder count the way a combustion engine does, so EPA reporting focuses on the motor type and battery system instead. -
