Porsche plans a trio of powertrains for the Cayenne into the next decade
26 July 2024
The fourth generation of the Porsche Cayenne will be all-electric. Porsche is simultaneously moving forward with the development of its hybrid and combustion engine third-generation models. Up to and beyond 2030, the successful SUV will be offered with three powertrain variants worldwide.
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.
Porsche is also firmly committed to electromobility.
Our product strategy could enable us to deliver more than 80% of our new cars fully electrified in 2030—depending on the demand of our customers and the development of electromobility in the regions of the world.
—Oliver Blume, Porsche CEO
As a completely redeveloped and redesigned model, the fourth generation of the best-selling Cayenne is intended to support the ramp-up of electromobility at Porsche significantly.
The all-electric luxury SUV is based on a comprehensive further development of the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture,. Alongside familiar Porsche driving characteristics, the development targets include high-capacity and stable charging, high efficiency, and a high level of comfort and everyday usability.
