Spy photos reveal a prototype of Porsche's electric Cayenne undergoing testing in snowy conditions. While initially expected to debut in late 2025 or early 2026, the launch could be pushed back due to Porsche's reevaluation of its EV strategy. The electric Cayenne will share the PPE platform with the Macan Electric and Audi Q6 e-tron.
A prototype of Porsche ’s electric Cayenne has been spied testing in the snow. 2026 EV shares a PPE platform with the Macan Electric and Audi Q6 e-tron. SUV’s planned late ’25 reveal could be delayed by Porsche ’s EV rethink. These fresh spy shots show a Porsche test driver putting a prototype Cayenne Electric through its paces.

Although both will wear Cayenne badges and have similar interiors, they’re totally different under the skin down to the different platforms. The Cayenne Electric sits on a stretched version of the PPE architecture already being used by the Audi A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron, and of course, Porsche’s own Macan Electric. And though it’s difficult with this prototype’s disguise in place to get a clear picture of the design details, we’re expecting the Cayenne to borrow plenty of headlight and grille styling ideas from its younger siblin
