Next-gen Porsche Cayenne EV Teased!

SAUDI ARABIA : After the Porsche Macan, the brand is all set to soon unveil the next generation Porsche Cayenne. That said, if you are a fan of the older generation Cayenne, don’t worry, because both cars will be sold simultaneously. 

• The Cayenne is Porsche’s best-selling car so the new generation has really excited us
• Up until 2030, both the current Cayenne and the Cayenne EV will be sold together
• The Cayenne EV’s platform is the same as the Porsche Macan EV, Audi A6 e-tron and the Audi Q6 e-tron

Exterior 

Recently, the Cayenne Electric was observed navigating mountainous terrain while towing a trailer. This sighting revealed several design cues, including active cooling air flaps that resemble those found on the new 911 Carrera GTS, Porsche's pioneering street-legal hybrid 911. 

In total, Porsche will likely keep the overall design language similar to the ICE Cayenne’s for that familiarity factor. That’s not a bad thing though, given how good looking the current generation Porsche Cayenne is. 

Interior 

The interior of the Cayenne EV is anticipated to mirror that of the standard Cayenne. The facelifted Cayenne's interior has been significantly revamped, focusing on the integration of more digital screens. Notably, the physical rev counter has been replaced, marking a significant change in Porsche's design approach. The new digital setup features a 12.6-inch screen that mimics the Taycan's advanced cockpit, housing all the instruments within a sleek, binnacle-free display.

Drivers can choose from seven different display views, two of which retain the traditional, easy-to-read round dials. While you may cycle through all the options initially, most will likely settle on these simpler layouts. This design choice contrasts sharply with BMW's, as the Cayenne’s speedometer is considerably more legible than that of the X5.

Motor

Porsche has confirmed that the fourth-generation Cayenne will be entirely electric. The announcement, made on Thursday, highlighted that testing is well underway, with camouflaged prototypes already being showcased. However, further specifics about the powertrain and performance details remain under wraps for now.

Launch & Availability 

The official debut of the Porsche Cayenne Electric is anticipated to occur in 2026. The car will likely first make its debut somewhere in Europe before making its way around the globe.
