TESTED 19.9.23, BERKSHIRE ON SALE NOW
The new Porsche Cayenne isn't quite all-new: as the kids might put it, because reasons'. Its maker is currently investing in both an electric Cayenne (due in 2025) to sell alongside this one and an even larger electric SUV (for now known as the K1 and due in 2027) to sell alongside that. It's also about to deliver its electric new Macan, which it has been investing in for even longer than either the Cayenne EV or the K1.
In other words, it's shovelling cash into a scenario that might leave a rapidly diminishing place for a traditional, combustion-engined SUV, but it has also yet to really test the market's appetite for any of its new zero-emissions offerings (save the Taycan, of course). The company accountants could well be taking it in turns to breathe.
Understandably, it has sought out a little pragmatism where it can, by eking out the life cycle of the current E3-generation Cayenne. The first-gen car lasted eight years, the second one a little less, and this one will have done more than 10 years by the time Porsche has it slated for retirement, towards the end of the decade.
