    2026 Cayenne Coupe Electric EV Debut! Specs, Info, Photos, Videos

    I've seen the new "pale blue metallic" in person at a dealership; it was really disappointing to me... I was hoping that it would be closer to "Montego Blue" (past Cayenne) or "Yachting Blue" (past Panamera) -- but it's not nearly as nice.

    Backward progression…4

    My sources say that you are wrong about your first claim. A Taycan that I was just considering buying has a line on the official Porsche build sheet listed as "ZTR", which the dealership told me was for any tariff imposed by Trump (in this case, it was $0).

    Backward progression…4

    I wish that the Cayenne Electric would come standard with steel suspension, with air suspension optional (as is the case in the US with the ICE Cayenne). As for the 25% tariffs, it's very arbitrary and unclear how that would go forward considering that all of the 2025 tariffs imposed by Trump...

    My test drive review of Cayenne EV Base in Algarve blue!

    Well, a 2025 Taycan 4 CT that I was considering buying arrived in the US late last year, and it had zero tariffs imposed on it according to the dealership. So it isn't clear when/how these tariffs will be implemented (and if they're legal -- with the courts overturning Trump's tariffs of last...

    My test drive review of Cayenne EV Base in Algarve blue!

    My main focus on the cockpit is from the driver perspective -- not what materials are made of but rather how functional the cockpit is (screens, controls, storage space) to help the driving experience. From that perspective, I found that my special-ordered Macan 4 was quite a bit better than my...

    Revealed: Cayenne EV curved display screen, interior, PCM, infotainment!

    Very interesting. Things I like: (1) regular door handles; (2) retention of physical switches for fan and temperture (climate); (3) retention of normal key fob, steering-wheel and door controls, analog clock, basic instrument-panel design; (4) electrochromic glass in the roof (but I hope it...

    [opinion] - hmmm…VW/Audi/Porsche may be in trouble…

    I've been saying for years that PHEVs will likely pick up a lot this decade before BEVs go "mainstream". I've been waiting for the better part of a decade for Porsche to come out with a Macan E-Hybrid; I'd buy that over a Macan BEV now, if it were available, because I do numerous cross-country...

    Panamera E-hybrid vs Taycan driving dynamics

    Thanks. No performance options at all. It comes standard with the sports chrono package and air suspension, and with the 455 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, I didn't need anything more than that. I wanted to keep my depreciation loss to a minimum by not loading it with lots of unnecessary options :)

    Panamera E-hybrid vs Taycan driving dynamics

    I like the infotainment screen and buttons-design in my 2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo more than in the Taycan. The temperature and fan speed for each front-seat occupant has a physical lever that you push up or down to change each function. There's a dial below the infotainment screen...

    New Porsche Luxury SUV to Sit Above Cayenne (+Panamera EV!?)

    It would be something I'd likely consider buying, for sure. But I fear that what Porsche is looking to do here is an uglier XC90-type (or Land Rover LR4-type) of larger SUV with 3-row seating, to overcome the frequent criticism that the Cayenne has limited interior space for families and people...
