Porsche has announced its plans to electrify its entire lineup in the coming years, and the latest vehicle to join the ranks of electric cars is the Porsche Cayenne.

The Porsche Cayenne has been a popular model for the brand, and the addition of an electric variant will undoubtedly appeal to consumers looking for a luxury SUV with the latest technology. The electric Cayenne is expected to retain the same sleek design and high-performance capabilities that Porsche is known for, while also offering zero-emissions driving.

According to Porsche, the electric Cayenne will be built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, which is being co-developed with Audi. The PPE platform will allow for a range of up to 700 kilometers (435 miles) on a single charge, making it one of the most capable electric SUVs on the market.

The electric Cayenne will also feature advanced technology such as 800-volt fast charging, which will allow for a quick charge to 80% capacity in just 15 minutes. Porsche has also promised that the electric Cayenne will deliver impressive performance, with the ability to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds.

While the electric Cayenne is not expected to arrive until after 2025, it is a significant step for Porsche as it continues its commitment to electrification. The brand has already introduced the Taycan, its first fully electric vehicle, and plans to launch the electric Macan in 2023

Porsche plans a trio of powertrains for the Cayenne into the next decade

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.

“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.

"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".

The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
