The premium sports activity coupe market is a competitive
one. With Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW all producing quality vehicles, Porsche
decided to join the fight. The Cayenne is Porsche’s answer to the competitors’
options. And Porsche is taking it one step further, they’re going to make the
Cayenne all electric.
Recently, Porsche greenlighted the Mission E, its first all-electric
car, and now it appears that Porsche is looking to use the work they have done
on the Mission E for other vehicles in the lineup, more specifically the SUV.
The Mission E is being designed off of the Panamara body and interior while
they are going with the popular Cayenne for the SUV. They are currently
designing a coupe version of the SUV and why not make it electric.
The UK’s Car Magazine recently spotted and posted
pictures of the SUV prototype on the testing track in Zuffenhausen, Germany.
“We
know that Porsche is considering a coupe-ified, lower crossover to match the
likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, BMW X6 and other slammed SUVs. But it’s
also electric-powered, according to our sources. Which points to Porsche
challenging the increasing number of crossover EVs being developed by the
world’s premium car makers to remove the stigma from super-sizing your car.”

According to sources around the project, the Cayenne Electric SUV has
not been approved for production and that they are still in the testing phase.
But that is wont be long until Porsche makes an official announcement. Industry
insiders are hoping that the SUV will be in full production by 2020.
Until then, Porsche still plans to provide you with its already amazing line of vehicles. Check out our inventory and contact us now to test drive your future Porsche now!
