I like this summary:
Based on our first exposure, the Cayenne Electric hews close to Porsche’s values to push technology forward without walking away from long-standing traditions. The Cayenne has always been a jack of all trades, offering performance and practicality, on-road refinement and off-road capability.
The Cayenne Electric joins the existing lineup rather than replacing it. That will make the Cayenne the first Porsche sold with electric, gas, and plug-in-hybrid powertrains. Catering to traditional buyers (and softening EV demand), Porsche says it’s committed to building combustion variants of the Cayenne “well into the next decade,” but our first taste of the EV suggests the company is doing some of its best and most innovative work with battery electric technology.
