      It has been some time since we first encountered the all-electric version of Porsche’s flagship Cayenne SUV, and the latest spy shots reveal a model that is very close to production. While some vinyl still remains around its headlights and taillights, nearly the entire body of the electric SUV is now visible.

      Details about Porsche’s new electric crossover are limited, but it’s clear that the engineers are enjoying the development process. One of the prototypes set a record by completing the Goodwood Hill Climb in just 31.28 seconds earlier this year. We can expect more standard versions to be available, similar to what was offered with the Taycan.

      Currently, it seems unlikely that most automakers (including European ones) will stick to their original plans for full fleet electrification by 2030. However, with many EU urban areas implementing measures to limit or ban combustion engines in personal vehicles, manufacturers feel increasing pressure to provide a wider range of powertrains.

      In other words: EVs are not off the table. Yet, since Porsche first committed to a zero-emission lineup, one significant change has occurred: the internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered Cayenne will be around longer than initially expected, enabling Porsche to sell both variants side by side wherever it makes sense financially. Norway, however, is an exception.
