Porsche Cayenne BEV planned

Porsche AG is laying the groundwork for further electrification of its model lines.

It has decided to manufacture the future all-electric Cayenne at Volkswagen Slovakia’s multi-brand location in Bratislava and is testing the new model.

After the Taycan (since 2019), the Macan (in 2024) and the 718 (middle of the decade), the Cayenne will become the sports car manufacturer’s fourth model line with an all-electric powertrain.

Porsche has already announced a further all-electric SUV above the Cayenne for the second half of the decade, to be produced at the Porsche factory in Leipzig.

“The plant in Bratislava has done outstanding work in recent years and has received several awards,” says Porsche production and logistics board member Albrecht Reimold.

“The future Cayenne will be the first all-electric SUV to be manufactured there. I’m sure that the team there will be meticulously prepared and will get the new generation to the starting line – when the time comes – in characteristic Porsche quality.”

The Cayenne has been stamping its mark on the sporty SUV segment for more than 20 years.

With 95,604 delivered units in its anniversary year of 2022, the Cayenne posted the highest demand among all Porsche model lines.

Third generation production of the SUV moved entirely to Bratislava in 2017 which has since produced models with combustion engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
