2027 Porsche Cayenne: Everything We Know
One of the biggest updates will be the arrival of a new electric model, joining the Taycan and Macan before it. But don't worry, the SUV's current gas and plug-in hybrid powertrain options are both expected to carry over for the new year.
We don't expect to see the new Cayenne until next year, but here's what we know about the updated flagship until then.
What Will It Look Like?

Don't expect the gas Cayenne to get a major makeover for 2027, given that the entire model line was
just recently updated
. That said, we may see some subtle changes to the front and rear fascias, while an entirely new look is likely for the EV model.
The gas model shouldn't stray far from the current design language, but some prototypes have shown that the updated Cayenne will get a sharper face. Our rendering predicts some elements from the latest
911
, most notably the squared-off grille and vertical side vents found on the brand's latest sports car.

The Cayenne EV, meanwhile, will have a sleeker face and new light fixtures, in line with the
Macan Electric
and fellow prototypes of the Boxster / Cayman. A camouflaged prototype
quietly showed up
at the recent Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb in the United Kingdom to show off its new look.
Both the coupe and traditional SUV body styles are expected to live on into 2027.
What Gas Engines Will It Have?
Porsche has already confirmed that the Cayenne will
keep its V-8 engine well into 2030
. The base model will also likely retain its gas V-6, while the plug-in E-Hybrid models are expected to carry over with little to no changes.
What About the EV?
It's true: The Cayenne is going electric. The Cayenne EV will be sold alongside its gas counterparts, and it will likely offer similar performance to the V-8 variants, with anywhere from 500 to 800 horsepower expected on most trims. The Cayenne EV will have an updated version of Porsche's
Premium Platform Electric (PPE)
800-volt architecture.
In the Macan, the PPE platform delivers up to 630 horsepower on the Turbo Electric model with two electric motors, and up to 315 miles of range on the base Macan Electric. On the Taycan, the battery platform yields up to 1,019 hp on the
Turbo GT
model, or up to 318 miles of range on the Performance Plus model.
Could there be a high-output Cayenne Turbo GT with over 1,000 hp? Fingers crossed.

How Much Will the 2027 Cayenne Cost?
Don't expect a major price hike for the gas and plug-in variants of the 2027 Cayenne. The current 2026 Cayenne starts at $89,050 with destination, and goes all the way up to $208,150 to start for the top-trim Turbo GT Coupe.
Pricing for the Cayenne EV remains a mystery, but given that the Macan Electric starts at $77,295 in the US, we expect the electric Cayenne to come in at around $100,000 to start. Of course, the price will depend on things like output, performance, and range.
When Will We See It?
Porsche has confirmed that the new Cayenne EV will debut
this year
at an event on the West Coast. But, it likely won't go on sale until later in 2026 for the 2027 model year. The new Cayenne EV will be produced at Porsche's manufacturing facility
in Bratislava, Slovakia
, alongside the combustion version.

Bentley's Slightly More Affordable SUV Is Impersonating A Porsche
Like it or not, the social experiment that is the ultra-luxury super SUV has been successful for automakers, and now that the Bentayga is one of those success stories, Bentley is searching for more ways of satisfying its customers. They love their Bentaygas, but in dense European city centers, the SUV is just too long to legally park on the street. To satisfy those Madrid, London, and Rome-based customers and attract a few more, the as-yet-unnamed "urban SUV" will measure less than 16.4 feet (5 meters) in length. And according to the Autoblog spies who snapped these images, we're looking at the forthcoming newbie, albeit obviously in a Porsche frock. In February of this year, the patent and trademark sleuths at CarMoses discovered two new Bentley filings that could be earmarked for the incoming SUV: Mayon and Barnato. The former likely references the active Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, since the Bentayga was named after Roque Bentayga, a rock formation on the Canary Islands within the volcanic caldera of Tejeda. The latter has been trademarked by Crewe before and references Woolf Barnato, a Le Mans-winning Bentley Boy and chairman who helped keep the company alive in the mid-1920s. When Bentley first announced this new electric SUV, it said that it would arrive in 2026, saying that it expected the market's appetite for EVs to grow to a sustainable level by then. It has since delayed that introductory date by a single year, but it ought to be worth the wait, with Bentley promising the EV will be "much more agile" than a Bentayga. Crewe did not confirm what would underpin the new SUV, but at the time of the announcement, the PPE architecture beneath the Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan Electric seemed the most sensible. Now that our spies tell us the Porsche mule in these images is a Bentley, those suspicions are all but confirmed. Bentley says that some elements of its extraordinary EXP 15 concept will inform the styling, though exactly how can't be gleaned from the proportions of this prototype. Expect around 350-400 miles of range, fast-charging, and something new. Bentley's head of R&D, Dr. Matthias Rabe, spoke during the EV's announcement, saying that the sound would not be purely synthetic, nor a copy of what other automakers have been doing. Details would not be divulged, but he hinted that Bentley is "developing something no one else is doing right now." Stay tuned. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Porsche to intensify cost-cutting measures as tariffs bite
Porsche is reportedly set to intensify its cost-cutting efforts as the luxury car manufacturer faces headwinds from declining sales in China and the impact of US import tariffs. According to a memo to staff from CEO Oliver Blume, which was obtained by Bloomberg, the company is set to commence discussions on further cost-saving measures in the latter half of the year. Blume said: 'Our business model, which has served us well for many decades, no longer works in its current form.' The company is contending with 'lower-than-expected' demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and sluggish luxury car sales in China, which is said to be a competitive market for battery-powered vehicles. In the US, Porsche's largest market, the company is feeling the pressure of President Donald Trump's trade policies, which are affecting profit margins. Earlier in the month, the company cautioned about the challenging sales outlook for the year, citing a slowdown in the US and ongoing weakness in China. The proposed cuts, which will be negotiated with labour leaders, aim to improve the company's profitability over the coming years. The automaker has set a medium-term operating margin target of 15% to 17%, up from 8.6% in the first quarter (Q1). Following the example of its parent company, Volkswagen, Porsche is seeking to reduce production costs in Germany, where labour and energy expenses are said to be significant. Volkswagen reached an agreement with unions late 2024 to cut production capacity and minimise its workforce by 35,000 over the next five years. In April 2025, Porsche revised its financial outlook for this year, citing a challenging Q1 influenced by a downturn in China, rising supply chain expenses, and the US tariff impact on the automotive industry. The manufacturer reported a decrease in group sales revenue for the quarter, ending 31 March, to €8.86bn ($10.01bn) from €9.01bn in the same period last year. The 1.7% decline in sales revenue was primarily due to lower vehicle sales, despite positive pricing and customisation effects.

Porsche Unveils New 911 GT3 Cup With Sharpened Performance and Sustainable Focus
Summary Porscheis gearing up to launch their next-generation911 GT3 Cup car— a sharpened, track-focused evolution of its iconic one-make racer, now based on the updated 992.2 platform. Set to make its world debut later this summer, the new GT3 Cup marks a significant step forward in the brand's motorsport lineage, bringing updated aerodynamics, refined handling, and sustainable fuel integration to the grid. Developed entirely at Porsche Motorsport's Weissach facility, the car has undergone extensive testing across three circuits — Monza, Lausitzring, and Porsche's in-house test track — with seasoned drivers including Bastian Buus and Klaus Bachler helping dial in feedback. The result is a chassis and powertrain package that stays true to its naturally aspirated roots, while pushing forward in precision and balance. At its core remains Porsche's high-revving 4.0-liter flat-six, now producing around 503 hp, paired with a sequential transmission and reworked driveline components for faster shifts and greater durability. The car's aerodynamics have been overhauled, with a redesigned front end featuring wider cooling intakes, integrated hood vents, and a revised splitter to increase front-end grip. A wider rear track and improved underbody flow balance out the downforce profile. The cockpit has also undergone thoughtful revision. A redesigned steering wheel, updated digital dash, and optimized pedal layout reflect input from professional drivers across global Cup series, ensuring the driving experience remains both intuitive and focused. Subtle tweaks to seat ergonomics and visibility enhance driver comfort and situational awareness during high-intensity stints. One of the most significant updates lies beneath the surface. For the first time, the car has been developed exclusively on Porsche's eFuel blend — a high-performance synthetic fuel aligned withFIA'sAdvanced Sustainable regulations. Comprised of 79.7% renewable components, the blend delivers a 66% reduction in lifecycle CO2 emissions versus fossil fuel, without compromising output or responsiveness. It's a forward-thinking integration that nods to Porsche's broader sustainability roadmap while staying grounded in real-world racing demands. Built at Porsche's main facility in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, the 992.2 GT3 Cup will begin production in fall 2025 and officially enter competition in the 2026 season. Set to headline the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and selectCarrera Cup championshipsworldwide, the new 911 GT3 Cup combines sharpened performance, a modernized cockpit, and a forward-looking approach to sustainability — pushing Porsche's one-make legacy into a new era of racing.
