The next-gen Cayenne will have a V8 engine as well as electric and hybrid powertrains.
Porsche has announced that the Cayenne will continue to be powered by a V8 powertrain beyond 2030. This powertrain will exist alongside all-electric and hybrid powertrains. The Cayenne was first introduced in 2002 and became a saviour for Porsche.
The German marque says that “extensive technical measures” have been taken to ensure that the twin-turbo V8 engine will comply with future emission and legislative requirements. The V8 will be built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant in Germany.
Oliver Blume, CEO, Porsche, said, “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. 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 Cayenne was facelifted globally in 2023 and Porsche claims it will be further developed with “major technical investment” in the future. Furthermore, Porsche claims the fourth-generation SUV will be based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with 800-volt architecture developed in conjunction with Audi. The new Cayenne is said to retain the familiar driving characteristics of Porsche but will also have high-capacity and stable charging, high efficiency and a higher level of comfort along with everyday usability.
Micheal Steiner, Member of the Executive Board for Research and Development, Porsche said, “The flexibility of the PPE architecture allows us to integrate the latest technology in the fields of high-voltage systems, powertrain and chassis. We are going to utilise the potential of electrification to take the Cayenne to a completely new level in several ways – for instance, in driving performance.”
