Porsche Cayenne Electric goes big on screens: Interior revealed ahead of launch

The Porsche Cayenne Electric will be fully unveiled later this year, to be sold alongside the ICE-powered model. Positioned above the Macan EV, it will be offered in both regular and coupe SUV versions. But ahead of its official debut, the Stuttgart-based carmaker has given us a good look at what goes on inside the upcoming electric SUV. Stepping inside reveals a very modern cabin heavily lined with displays that have taken over the entire dashboard.

The whole ensemble is touted as the largest display area ever fitted inside a Porsche. With this, the driver gets a massive 14.25-inch curved digital cluster, which is an OLED screen with touch controls on the outer edges. This flanks a large 12.25-inch central display that curves down from the top of the dash to the centre console to double up as an infotainment and HVAC panel. Dubbed the ‘Flow Display’, this unit resembles modern foldable displays and features a ‘Ferry Pad’ palmrest at the bottom for ease of use.

The Cayenne EV further features an optional 14.9-inch passenger display, which offers in-car entertainment, app control, and video streaming on the go. The SUV also gets a heads-up display with augmented reality, with an effective display size of 87 inches.

While traditionalists may loathe the display-heavy interior, they will appreciate the availability of physical buttons for the temperature, fan speed, and volume controls. While these are positioned right below the central display, there are more controls on the Cayenne EV’s 3-spoke steering wheel, including a rotary drive-mode selector.

The centre console includes a moderately large cubby underneath the Ferry Pad for storing small items and mobile phones. The interior is decked out with ambient lighting and features surface heating, a new functionality that warms up contact patches, such as the seats, armrests and door panels. The Cayenne EV further features Mood Modes, which coordinate lighting, climate controls, sound, and surface heating to provide owners with the perfect interior ambience of their choice.

There are new interior materials, with leather now available in new colours such as Magnesium Grey, Lavender and Sage Grey. For those looking for a sustainable, vegan option, Porsche offers a Race-Tex interior with Pepita-print textile as a homage to older interior designs from the carmaker. The Cayenne Electric will further bring the largest panoramic glass sunroof ever fitted on a Porsche. It slides open at the front and features Variable Light Control with multiple transparency settings.

The Cayenne EV will make over 1,000 bhp, claims Porsche:

The electric Cayenne is expected to make well over 1,000 bhp and deliver a single-charge driving range just short of the 600 km mark

While official power figures are yet to come out, Porsche claims the Cayenne EV will push well over 1,000 bhp. This is likely limited to the Turbo variants, with the base and mid-spec variants will probably deliver between 400-600 bhp. The electric Cayenne will feature wireless battery charging and is expected to provide a ~600 km single-charge driving range. This would keep it aligned with buyer expectations and maintain competitiveness against other high-performance luxury electric SUVs.
