2026 Porsche Cayenne EV: Everything We Know So Far - Storyboard

EV sales have slowed recently, Porsche has revised its electrification strategy, initially aiming for 80% EV sales by 2030

But Porsche continues to develop new electric models while adapting to market challenges

The upcoming Cayenne EV is a cornerstone of this plan, which was slated for a 2026 launch

Porsche is extending the lifecycle of combustion-engine models by offering hybrids and ICE options alongside EVs, such as the gas Macan and hybrid Panamera

However, given the recent trends and shifting market dynamics, the Cayenne Electric might be delayed

The Cayenne EV will coexist with ICE versions to maintain sales and appeal to both traditional and EV buyers during the transition

The Cayenne EV will use an enhanced PPE platform shared with other models like the Macan EV and Audi Q6 e-tron, ensuring stability and high performance

A Prototype winter testing in Sweden hints at a sleek design with Macan EV-like lighting features and a pixelated light bar at the rear

With a starting price of $80,000, but further delays and market readiness could push the timeline to 2027.
