Porsche's Cayenne Electric is a completely different kind of Cayenne - and not only because it's battery-powered. It's sleeker, more technically advanced and has a fresh generation of interior design. In top Turbo form, it's faster too. Here, Zuffenhausen has reset the standard for what a large, sporting luxury SUV should be.

Back in 2002, the Porsche brand was changed forever by a big, bold SUV called the Cayenne. And a quarter of a century on, here's another model of that name, the Cayenne Electric, that might have almost as much impact. In original concept, it was meant to be even more important than that; it wasn't very long ago that Porsche was boasting that 80% of its line-up would be full-electric by 2030. But those unrealistic ambitions have been scaled down radically, as proof of which updated versions of the existing combustion Cayenne will continue to be sold well into the next decade. The Cayenne Electric shares nothing but its name with that car. It rides on a completely different PPE platform (shared with the Macan Electric) which allows it to be significantly bigger. Plus it sets new standards for EVs in terms of towing weight and the introduction of an inductive charging system that doesn't require you to physically plug the car in. Let's take a closer look.
