2027 Porsche Cayenne: Everything We Know

Even though Porsche recently introduced a new Cayenne SUV in 2023, the German automaker already has a major refresh planned for the 2027 model year. A fresh look and a few new powertrain options should make their way to the luxury SUV for the new year. 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? 2027 Porsche Cayenne Rendering by Motor1 Photo by: Motor1 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. 2027 Porsche Cayenne EV Prototype Photo by: 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. Photo by: Motor1 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.

Porsche Macan set to get petrol, hybrid replacements too

Porsche's new Macan is offered only with electric power, but the brand has confirmed it's working on a more direct replacement for the outgoing petrol-powered mid-sized SUV – though it likely won't be called Macan. The new model will be offered with both combustion and hybrid powertrains, and will be 'touching the Macan segment', according to Porsche CEO, Dr Oliver Blume. 'We have an ambitious engineering timing, aiming for around 36 months for developing such a car seems to be realistic,' said Dr Blume at a conference announcing 2024 financial results. He further added it could arrive around the same time as the production Volkswagen ID.1, indicating a 2027 launch, and that its lifespan will extend into the 2030s. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Macan Electric Credit: CarExpert While the new petrol/hybrid SUV appears a fait accompli, Porsche's press release is more circumspect. The brand says it's 'evaluating an independent model line in the SUV segment with combustion and hybrid powertrains… [that] could be launched towards the end of the decade'. 'Once the combustion-engine models of the same name have been phased out, the Macan will be sold exclusively as an all-electric model, worldwide,' the company added, effectively confirming any new SUV will wear a different nameplate. Dr Blume conceded carmakers were much more bullish on the take-up of electric vehicles (EVs) when the new-generation Macan first entered development. Petrol-powered Macan Credit: CarExpert 'We have taken the decision already in 2016 to focus only on electric one for the future, and in these times the ramp-up for electromobility was more optimistic,' said Dr Blume. 'We think there is room for another SUV in this segment, we will make a big differentiation from the electric one. 'We still have the combustion engine out of Europe and the other regions of the world, so this will be a very special one but more focused then for the end of the decade, and the '30s, for having there an offer not only for Europe but also for the rest of the world when we will stop the combustion-engine Macan also for the rest of the world regions.' Dr Blume says the first concepts and designs are 'very promising'. Macan Electric Credit: CarExpert 'We see the timing correctly adapted to the timing of combustion-engine Macan run out of Europe, and to the ramp up of the electric Macan in all regions of the world, and we think that this car will fit perfect to the segment when we will be able to make a big differentiation in between both cars and to being able to bring a real future vision to Porsche,' he said. Dr Blume's announcement indicates Porsche will continue to have two vehicles in this segment. The outgoing petrol-powered Macan first entered production in 2014, with the electric Macan – on a completely different platform – entering production a decade later. These two vehicles are sold alongside each other in most markets, though Porsche Australia has previously confirmed orders for the petrol-powered model closed here last year. Only dealer stock remains. Possible Porsche SUV test mule Credit: CarExpert Globally, Porsche hadn't set an end date for petrol-powered Macan production as it has continued to be popular. However, it was axed from European showrooms in April 2024 as it no longer complied with strict cybersecurity laws, with the cost of conforming to the regulations potentially resulting in huge investments in the 10-year-old model. Both the old and new Macan are built in Leipzig, Germany. It appears Porsche has entered the early testing stage with the new-generation combustion-powered SUV, with an alleged test mule – using a new Audi Q5 body – spotted in Europe. Audi SQ5 Sportback Credit: CarExpert That could mean the new Porsche SUV will use the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) underpinning new-generation Audi models like the Q5 and A5. Porsche and Audi have shared platforms before. The first-generation Macan was related to the contemporary Audi Q5, while the new Macan Electric shares its Premium Platform Electric (PPE) with the Audi Q6 e-tron. Should the Macan adopt the underpinnings of the Q5, it could be offered with a choice of turbocharged engines, ranging from 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol, a 3.0-litre V6 petrol and a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel – all with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance. Plug-in hybrids should also come into the fold later on. Porsche deputy chairman and CFO Lutz Meschke told Autocar earlier this year the company was 'exploring the possibility of equipping some of the originally planned electric models with hybrid drives or internal combustion engines in the future'. Porsche Taycan Credit: CarExpert 'Conceptual decisions are being made, but what is clear is that we are committed to the combustion engine for much longer,' he added. While Porsche says it had a sales record in four out of its five global regions in 2024, it warned the ramp-up of electric vehicles (EVs) has been slower than expected. It's no longer planning for EVs to account for more than 80 per cent of its sales by 2030, and says instead its ramp-up will 'adapt to the market developments' with a 'much longer transition phase'.

10 Electric Vehicles With the Fastest Charging Times

Some EVs can charge up to 80% in just 5 minutes, faster than filling a tank with fuel. Tesla models aren't the fastest but still add lots of range in 15 minutes using Superchargers. There's a choice of SUVs, hatchbacks, and performance cars with impressive driving range and 18–20 minutes charging times. One of the biggest problems with ownership is long charging times. Few people want to sit around for an hour or more to be able to drive their car. However, a global push and huge investment in EVs has forced improvements in battery technology and charging speeds. Now, many can charge up to 80% in 25 minutes or less. These ten electric cars prove that owning one doesn't need to be an inconvenience. In fact, one charges faster than filling a tank with fuel. Surprisingly, Tesla didn't make the cut this time. Despite an impressive Supercharger network and recent updates to the Model 3 and Model Y, both still take around 27 minutes. That said, a lot of range is added in 15 minutes using a Supercharger, so don't discount them entirely. In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites. Please note that we have ranked the following models based on charging time from 10-80%, from slowest to fastest. Where 10-80% charging times were not available, we consulted the Electric Vehicle Database. This fully-electric hypercar has 1,914 horsepower and reaches 60 mph from a standstill in an eye-watering 1.74 seconds. More impressively, it recharges to 80% in 25 minutes. If all that power wasn't enough, there's a hardcore Nevera R with over 2,107 hp and the same recharge time. We should note this time is from 0-80%, whereas the other cars on this list are from a 10% charge. So, technically, this time would be slightly shorter. The Macan Electric is the latest EV from Porsche, following the Taycan. It shares Volkswagen Group's new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture with the Audi Q6 e-tron models from Audi. However, the Macan charges quicker than the Audi's, and squeezes more driving range. Every Macan Electric takes 21 minutes to charge from 10%-80% and gives 315 miles. Only the SQ6 matches this, while the other Q6 models only get 275 miles and need an extra minute. Kia has come a long way from its humble beginnings as an affordable, reliable manufacturer. While maintaining great value and excellent reliability ratings, Kia EVs now compete with top players. The EV9 is a budget Range Rover that's perfect for family road trips. The EV9 Light RWD travels up to 230 miles on a single charge, then recharges from 10%-80% in 20 minutes, allowing just enough time for a rest stop. Higher trims can go much further when plugged in for another few minutes. Lotus is a British sports car manufacturer which was bought by Geely in 2017. Since then, we've seen a focus on EVs, with the Lotus Evija hypercar, Emeya sedan, and the Eletre SUV. Thankfully, performance remains at the heart of the Eletre. Available with 603 bhp and 373 miles of range, or 905 bhp and up to 310 miles of range, this electric performance SUV charges up to 80% in 20 minutes. Another entry from the Hyundai family is the Genesis Electrified GV70. A model refresh last month treated the GV70 to a 27-inch panoramic display, AI-powered auto-terrain selection, and, most importantly, an upgraded 84 kWh battery. Now capable of up to 298 miles on a single charge, the advanced 800-volt architecture can charge from 10%-80% in 19 minutes. That's a minute slower than the previous generation, but it delivers a range boost of 15 miles. These performance-orientated EVs are as fun, if not more, than internal combustion engines — especially the Ioniq 5 N. This hot hatch behaves as it should, mimicking gear shifts and engine noises, adding to the experience. The Kia EV6 GT feels slightly different due to its longer dimensions, but it's still ridiculously fun and has a drift mode. Both share the same battery, which only takes 18 minutes to charge. Hyundai is dominating the EV market with another two fast-charging models. At first glance, the Genesis GV60 and Hyundai Ioniq 6 appear to have nothing in common, but they're built on the same dedicated platform. Although the Ioniq 6 gets considerably more range at almost 400 miles, and has low long-term maintenance costs, both charge up to 80% in 18 minutes. Similar to the Eletre, the Lotus Emeya offers outputs of 603 or 905 bhp. This four-door GT hypercar uses a smaller battery than its SUV sibling, making its official charging time 18 minutes. However, a charging index study by P3 Group recorded an incredibly fast 14 minutes under real-world conditions. Though impressive and faster than most, it's still much slower than the fastest on this list. Another premium performance duo capable of recharging their batteries in 18 minutes are the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. It's Audi who edges ahead in terms of driving range, but the e-tron GT has fewer options and a bigger price tag. Porsche offers various body styles, outputs, and battery sizes, though only models with the 105 kWh battery achieve this charging time. While the BYD Han L isn't for sale outside of China yet, it earns the title of the fastest-charging EV, adding 1.2 miles of range every second. The new flash-charging battery works with Megawatt chargers to reach 10%-80% charge in five minutes — that's quicker than filling a tank with fuel. BYD confirmed the European expansion of the 1000v charging stations, so hopefully we'll see this revolutionary technology across the globe, making EV ownership more appealing and convenient.
